Academic Support
Gillings School Resources
Academic Enrichment Program
The Gillings School of Global Public Health at UNC is committed to making sure students receive the academic enrichment needed to be successful. The Academic Enrichment Program strives to provide quality academic support in a group setting for students experiencing academic difficulty in entry-level BIOS, EPID and SPHG courses. Group tutoring sessions are held for each subject (BIOS / EPID / SPHG) area each week during the fall and spring semesters. For more information, view the Spring 2023 Academic Enrichment Program Schedule (PDF).
Becoming a Tutor
Any student interested in tutoring through the Academic Enrichment Program must have received an H in the course they wish to tutor or they must have taken a higher level course in the same subject earning an H. This grade will be verified by Student Affairs.
Add/Drop, Post Semester, and Intra Forms
The Gillings School Office of Student Affairs works closely with the University Registrar to ensure students are able to navigate add/drop requests, post semester and Intra transfer requests. The Gillings School follows the UNC Academic Calendar for all requests. Please also see Rules on Course Drops from the Registrar’s Office. We have provided forms that are fillable and can be emailed to the Gillings Registrar, Daniel Collins, for signature. Further questions can be directed to the Director of Student Services, Dr. Greg Bocchino.
IPE – Interprofessional Education Resources
“Interprofessional education occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. Once students understand how to work interprofessionally, they are ready to enter the workplace as a member of the collaborative practice team. This is a key step in moving health systems from fragmentation to a position of strength.”
