From Monday through Wednesday of the first week of classes, the Office for Adult Students will be holding "Lunch Live" from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm in the second floor of the Elliott University Center Food Court. A small group of current successful adult students will be there to answer questions and dispense advice. Come, eat, and meet some new friends in the Adult Student community!

Important: e-Spartan, Spartan Mail and iSpartan Information!

UNCG ITS is pleased to announce the go-live date of Monday, August 18th, 2008 for the new iSpartan services. iSpartan is UNCG's offering of Google Apps for Education (GAFE) and will be the new email system for all students.

While similar, this program is different from the previous opt-in UNCG Student E-Mail Pilot Program. Students will be responsible for migrating their own old e-mails, contacts, and calendars from their old accounts to this new account.
