Understanding and Managing Your ONYEN Account

First of all, what does the acronym ONYEN (pronounced just like onion) mean? It means the Only Name

You’ll Ever Need, and it refers to the user ID you are given to access the academic computer systems

here at the University. This single ID (and the password connected to it) enables you to access your email

account (which is automatically generated at the time of the creation of your ONYEN), your Adobe

Connect and Sakai distance learning courseware, the Connect Carolina website and most other computer

systems that you will use while you are a student here. Your ONYEN is also your identifier for your

email address (email addresses are always yourONYEN@email.unc.edu), and will allow you to make

changes in your contact information in the UNC Online Campus Directory.

IMPORTANT NOTE: While the ONYEN user ID is public knowledge, no one but you knows your

password!! Try not to forget it or lose it, because it cannot be retrieved, and can only be reset by a few

people who are authorized to do so.

There is a wealth of services available to you via your ONYEN, and there is a master web page you can

go to to manage all aspects of your account. It is:

Exchange: http://help.unc.edu/

Heelmail: http://help.outlook.com/

The top of the page looks like this:

10

You can come to this page if you have forgotten your ONYEN user ID, if you would like to change your

password, or you need to access or make changes to your email account.

Accessing and Managing ONYEN Email Accounts

An entire section of the web page above is devoted to assisting you with accessing and managing the

email account that is automatically created at the time your ONYEN is created. The mail management

section is in the middle of the page and it looks like this:

Accessing your UNC mail account via Webmail

One of the functions available on this page is Webmail, an Internet-based email system that allows you to

view and read your UNC email. It is slower than using an email client such as Outlook or Netscape

Communicator, but requires no setup. Just click the Webmail button, enter your ONYEN user ID and

password, and you will be taken to your Inbox. If you would like instructions on setting up client email

software for your UNC account, contact Nancy Beach at nbeach@email.unc.edu.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your UNC email account is considered the default account for all University

communications so it is important to check your email box regularly.

Email Forwarding

If you would rather have your mail directed to another account, use the Email Forwarding function to do

this. Simply click the Email Forwarding button and follow the online instructions.

If you have questions or require further assistance with your ONYEN account, contact Nancy Beach at

nbeach@email.unc.edu or call 919-843-7244. Office hours are 8 am to 4:30 pm from Monday-Friday. For

help outside of business hours, call the IT Response Center at 919-962-HELP. The Response Center is

open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

ON-CAMPUS REQUIREMENT

During the year, students will attend a total of four days on campus at the University of North Carolina at

Chapel Hill, an orientation at the beginning of the program, and a closing session/graduation at the end of

the program.

TIME LIMIT AND LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Admission to the Community Preparedness and Disaster Management Certificate Program is designed

to be completed in one and one-half years. Students who are unable to complete all courses as

scheduled, have a three-year time limit to complete the program. Also, students who receive an

Incomplete (IN) for a semester grade will have one year from the end of that semester to complete the

course. If a permanent grade is not assigned by this time, the University will assign the student a grade

of F*. When special circumstances warrant, extension of time may be granted upon petition by the

student to the program director for a leave of absence.

Withdrawing during a fall or spring semester, taking a leave of absence, or failing to register for any

semester, constitutes a complete withdrawal from the University. To resume their studies, students

must apply for readmission to the program, this is not a new admissions application.

HONOR CODE AND CAMPUS CODE

Students of the university have accepted responsibility for their conduct and discipline in academic and

non-academic affairs. The University Honor System was created by students, faculty, and administrators

and is maintained, fostered, and administered largely by students. It is up to all students to keep the

system working well.

The Instrument of Student Judicial Governance (http://instrument.unc.edu/) is the “constitution.” It

specifies offenses, sanctions, the rights of defendants, and procedures for reporting violations.

The Honor Code states that “it shall be the responsibility of every student ... to obey and to support

the enforcement of the Honor Code, which prohibits lying, cheating, or stealing when these actions

involve academic processes or University student or academic personnel acting in an official

capacity.”

It is the consensus of the student body that academic cheating cannot be tolerated at UNC-CH. In 1978,

the students voted to make suspension the normal sanction for cheating. Unless unusual mitigating

circumstances exist, a student who is found guilty of cheating on a test or of plagiarizing a paper, for

example, will be suspended. The decision reflects the strength of the Honor Code.

12

The Campus Code requires that every student “...conduct oneself so as not to impair significantly the

welfare or the educational opportunities of others in the University community.” The Campus Code

covers violations such as hazing, damaging property, selling or possessing illicit drugs, and the physical

abuse of another individual.

The Honor and Campus Code applies to ALL students, including graduate and professional certificate

students. Students with questions should contact the Student Attorney General’s office (966-4084) or the

Office of the Dean of Students (966-4045).

Student Responsibilities Under the Honor Code:

To conduct all academic work within the letter and spirit of the Honor Code, which prohibits the

giving or receiving of unauthorized aid in all academic processes.

To consult with faculty and other sources to clarify the meaning of plagiarism; to learn the

recognized techniques of proper attribution of sources used in the preparation of written work; and

to identify allowable resource materials or aids to be used during examinations or in completion of

any graded work.

To sign a pledge on all graded academic work certifying that no unauthorized assistance has been

received or given in the completion of the work.

To comply with faculty regulations designed to reduce the possibility of cheating -- such as

removing unauthorized material or aids from the room and protecting one’s own examination paper from

view to others.

To maintain the confidentiality of examinations by divulging no information concerning an

examination, directly or indirectly, to another student yet to write that same examination.

To treat all members of the University community with respect and fairness.

To report any instance in which reasonable grounds exist to believe that a student has given or

received unauthorized aid in graded work. Such report should be made to the Office of the Student

Attorney General or the Office of the Dean of Students.

To cooperate with the Office of the Student Attorney General and the defense counsel in the

investigation and the trial of any incident of alleged violation, including the giving of testimony when

called upon. Nothing herein shall be construed to contravene a student’s rights enumerated in Sec. V.A.

2.b of the Instrument.

(Extracted from The Instrument of Student Judicial Governance, Section I.A.6.a)

Academic work is a joint enterprise involving faculty and students. Both have a fundamental

investment in the enterprise and both must share responsibility for ensuring its integrity. Therefore, in

relation to the Honor Code, specific faculty responsibilities parallel the students’responsibilities.

The University’s Policy on Prohibited Harassment and Discrimination prohibits discrimination or

harassment on the basis of an individual’s race, color, gender, national origin, age, religion, creed,

disability, veteran’s status, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Appendix B of this

Policy provides specific information for students who believe that they have been discriminated against or

harassed on the basis of one or more of these protected classifications.

13

Students who want additional information regarding the University’s process for investigating allegations

of discrimination or harassment should contact the Equal Opportunity/ADA Office for assistance:

Equal Opportunity/ADA Office

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

100 E. Franklin Street, Unit 110

Campus Box 9160

Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599

Telephone: (919) 966-3576

Fax: (919) 962-2562

Email: equalopportunity@unc.edu

Any administrator or supervisor, including a department chair, associate dean or other administrator, who

receives a student’s complaint about prohibited harassment or discrimination must notify the Equal

Opportunity/ADA Office within five (5) calendar days of receiving the complaint. If a student raises a

claim of prohibited harassment or discrimination during an academic appeal, an investigation of the

student’s claim must be performed under the direction of the Equal Opportunity/ADA Office. The school

or department must await the results of the harassment or discrimination investigation before deciding the

student’s academic appeal.

DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Policy on Prohibited Discrimination,

Harassment and Related Misconduct including Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment,

Sexual Violence, Interpersonal Violence and Stalking

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is committed to providing an inclusive and

welcoming environment for all students, faculty and staff. As part of this commitment, the

University has adopted a more comprehensive policy addressing discrimination and harassment

— the Policy on Prohibited Discrimination, Harassment and Related Misconduct Including

Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment, Sexual Violence, Interpersonal Violence and Stalking.

Guidelines for HPM Student Concerns and Complaints

The Department of Health Policy and Management (HPM) is governed by the policies and procedures

established by the University. Specific University policies are listed at the following webpage:

http://policies.unc.edu/ .

In addition to compliance with University policies, HPM follows guidelines from the Gillings School of

Global Public Health (GSGPH) when addressing student concerns. These can be found at

http://sph.unc.edu/files/2014/04/Addressing-Student-Concerns1.pdf

Specifically, students in HPM should follow these steps when seeking to address a specific concern or to

file a formal complaint.

14

Process

1. Contact and discuss with the course instructor or the individual with whom you have a concern. If the issue is

unresolved, proceed to Step 2.

2. Discuss your concern with the director of the program in which you are enrolled. Contacts for each degree

program are as follows:

Program Director/Co-Directors Email Telephone

BSPH Karl Umble umble@email.unc.edu 919-962-2974

Residential Master’s Paula Song psong@email.unc.edu 919-966-8778

Executive Master’s Bill Gentry

wgentry@email.unc.edu

919-966-4228

PhD Marisa Domino domino@unc.edu 919-966-3891

DrPH Pam Silberman pam_silberman@unc.edu 919-966-4525

If the issue continues to be unresolved, proceed to Step 3.

3.Discuss your concern with the Department Chair, Dr. Morris Weinberger, mweinber@email.unc.edu, 919-966-

7385. Depending upon the nature of the issue, at this point the Chair may convene a committee of faculty members

to review the concern, interview the involved parties, and determine an appropriate course of action.

4.At any point in the process it may be determined that a University policy takes precedence and will be followed.

5.As stated in the GSGPH guidelines, if you are not comfortable interacting with the Instructor, Program Director, or

Department Chair, at any time in the process, the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, Charletta Sims Evans, sph-

osa@unc.edu, 919-966-2499, will meet with you.

6.If all preceding steps do not result satisfactorily, then continue to follow the GSGPH guidelines, steps 5 and 6.

Appeals to the UNC Graduate School is also an opt

Timeliness

The timeliness in addressing any concern will initially be determined by the student who brings forth the concern. Factors influencing timeliness will be the nature of the issue, degree of seriousness of the issue and/or the urgency of the issue, once brought to the attention of the Instructor, Director, Department Chair, or Assistant Dean. If a concern has programmatic implications the issue will also be reviewed by the appropriate committee. In any case, all effort will be made to engage the student and to resolve quickly, equitably and satisfactorily the issue or concern.

Confidentiality Concerns or issues are handled in a confidential manner in compliance with University FERPA, (http://registrar.unc.edu/academic-services/uncferpa/ferpa-documents/) and/or HIPAA regulations, (http://research.unc.edu/offices/research-compliance-program/privacy/hipaa/hipaa-basics/ ). The “Student Grievance Policy and Procedures, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill” is found at https://deanofstudents.unc.edu/sites/deanofstudents.unc.edu/files/Revised%20Student%20Grievance%20Policy%20and%20Procedures%20%2800046292-12%29.pdf

FINANCIAL AID

Financial aid is not available through the University to students in certificate programs, who are considered by the

University to be part-time. However, in the past, professional associations, fraternal organizations, tribal councils, and

community groups have been sources of sponsorship and scholarship funding for working professionals returning to

school on a part-time basis. In addition, many students have obtained low-interest loans through their local lending

institutions. We recommend that you discuss these options with your employer or Human Resources Director to

identify any available funding opportunities.

For further guidance regarding additional sources of financial aid, call the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid at

(919) 962-8396 or visit their website:

http://studentaid.unc.edu/.

The Veteran’s Services Office is located in 3100 SASB, 450 Ridge Road, CB# 2100, and can be reached at

(919) 962-9864.

TUITION PAYMENT

Tuition payment is required within the time frame set by the University Cashier’s Office. Tuition payments,

questions, or concerns should be directed to the University Cashier’s Office, at (919) 962-1368.

Payment Options: https://cashier.unc.edu/payment-options/

SELECT YOUR OPTION FROM THE LEFT OF PAGE.

RESIDENCY STATUS FOR TUITION PURPOSES

It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the University records reflect the student’s correct residency status. This

is normally accomplished when completing the initial UNC Certificate Program Application. Be sure to verify your

residency records in order to make the appropriate tuition payment. Go to the MyUNC Portal at

http://connectcarolina.unc.edu and log on to verify status. Otherwise, your registration may be delayed or you may be

charged the out of state tuition rate.

Residency Determination Service (ncresidency.org) is a centralized system that provides one residency determination

for admissions applications.

NC Residency for tuition purposes is governed by North Carolina State law and is determined through the Residency

Determination Service (RDS) at www.ncresidency.org.

If you claim to be a resident, you must complete the residency process with the Residency Determination Service

(RDS) at www.ncresidency.org. The deadline for submitting a residency application for Spring 2019 is January 23,

2019. The deadline is not negotiable. For more information, please visit: http://registrar.unc.edu/academic-

services/residency/

REFUND POLICY

Refund policies and dates for prorated refunds of tuition to students will be determined by University guidelines.

Deadlines are set and published for receipt of full payment each semester. Students who do not meet payment

deadlines will be dropped from class rolls.

16

If you drop a fall or spring CPDM course, the amount of the tuition to be refunded will be prorated over a period of

nine weeks at a rate of one-tenth of the tuition per week, after deduction of a non-refundable portion.

REGISTRATION

Students will be registered for their first semester by the Assistant Registrar for the Executive Programs. General registration information can be found on the University Registrar’s Calendar located at: http://registrar.unc.edu/guide/registration-tasks/. NOTE: If payment of tuition and fees or a Tuition and Fees

Deferment Form indicating your appropriate financial aid source is not received in the Cashier’s Office by their

Due to the unique format of the HPM certificate programs, our academic schedule is not synchronized with the

traditional University Academic Calendar. The University Academic Calendar is used as a guideline for the CPDM

schedule, but semesters do not necessarily begin and end on the same dates as for residential courses. As a result, there

may be a delay between completion of the final course requirement, submission of grades, and receipt of the official

certificate. Students may request a letter from the CPDM Program Office verifying that certificate requirements have

been met, if such a letter is necessary for tuition reimbursement purposes.

TRANSFER OF CREDIT TO DEGREE-GRANTING PROGRAMS

Admission to the CPDM Program does not enable a student to transfer enrollment to a degree-seeking program within

the University. If interested in a degree-seeking program, a student must apply to his or her chosen program and be

accepted for admission by the program. Transfer of credits into other degree programs is possible, but at the discretion

of the individual programs and within the guidelines stipulated by the Graduate School.
