I seem to go in to ConnectCarolina more frequently than one would expect to access my benefits information (this probably says more about my memory than it does anything else). I’ve tended to go directly to TIM for time entry and, on occasions I need to look at some HR or Finance info, to Infoporte. With that said, I find myself going through ConnectCarolina a bit more to get to TIM and Infoporte these days.

Beginning Monday, October 23, you will see a few differences in ConnectCarolina if you work with the Student Administration pages. The software for the Student Administration application will be upgraded to the newest version and although most of the changes are behind-the-scenes, you will notice a more muted color palette, wider screen layout, and some alignment changes. You will still see all of the fields and links that you have today. Why Upgrade? The software upgrade will allow UNC to take advantage of new software features in the future For example, one of the changes we expect to implement in 2018 is a new look and feel that has fewer cicks. The upgrade ensures UNC will be able to receive continuing vendor support for ConnectCarolina.
