General Purpose Classrooms (GPCs)

The Registrar and Carolina Union work together to manage reservations for student organizations in General Purpose Classrooms across campus. Department and Administrative unit reservations are managed and approved by the Registrar regardless of location. Reservations can be booked in 25Live directly by UNC staff and registered student organizations. You must complete 25Live training to book this space in 25Live. 

You can view features and resources in General Purpose Classrooms on the Hotline Classroom website.
