Basic Information

The Training & Development Department, Office of Human Resources, offers programs open to permanent University employees, both EPA and SPA, and in many cases can serve as important resources in the development of skills and knowledge necessary to an employee's professional growth. Other university affiliates, such as temporary employees, post-docs, retirees and employee spouses, may be eligible to register for classes on a space-available basis two days prior to the program's start. Please call us or visit our website at www.training.unc.edu for details.

You must complete a Training Program Registration Form for each course. This form is available both online and in hard copy.

Online: Register online at www.training.unc.edu using your Onyen and password. This system allows you to register or cancel enrollment in Training & Development-sponsored programs, view and print your training record, and stay informed about upcoming training programs right from your desktop. For more information about the Online Training Registration web site (www.training.unc.edu), please contact us at 962-2550 with questions.

Hard copy: If you don't have computer access, registration forms can be obtained from Training & Development by calling 962-2550 or visiting 104 Airport Road, Suite 1500. A printable form is also available here. Fax your registration form to Training & Development at 843-9850 or send through campus mail to CB#1045.

Note: Training & Development will notify applicants of registration status, class locations and other program details. Final admission approval is given by Training & Development after considering completed requests, class size limits and other appropriate factors.

For most classes, registration closes two business days before the course begins. Class information no longer appears on the website after registration is closed. If you have questions regarding a course you don't see, please call Training & Development. If you are eligible for space-available registration during this two-day period and would like to register, please call Training & Development.

Almost all courses are provided at no cost to the employee. For programs with a fee, call Training & Development at 962-2550.

For additional learning and development opportunities at Carolina, as well as through other schools and organizations, visit the Employee Learning Connection.

If you are scheduled for a class, and the weather is dangerous, please call Training & Development at 962-2550. We will announce changes on our voice mail by 7:15 a.m. every day.

In the event of a cancellation, participants will be notified by Training & Development at least 48 hours in advance. In the case of an emergency (i.e., instructor illness, adverse weather, etc.) we will make every effort to contact participants as soon as possible. Please note that cancellations will be announced on our voice mail (962-2550) and website as we become aware of them.

We also ask any participant not able to attend a training session under circumstances other than emergencies and adverse weather to please notify Training & Development 48 hours in advance. We appreciate your cooperation.

Participants in our all-day courses will have a one-hour break for lunch sometime near the middle of the class. There are a number of restaurants within a short drive of the AOB. Those who bring their lunch can use either the break room in the Training & Development suite or the cafe on the second floor of the AOB. Both have food and drink vending machines and microwaves. The cafe also sells a variety of snacks, sandwiches, salads, etc.

Training & Development provides regular and decaffeinated coffee as well as tea and filtered water. The AOB has wireless access, and a campus phone is available for use.

If you have questions about any of these programs or have ideas for future programs, contact Training & Development at training_development@unc.edu or 962-2550.
