<\/a>Representatives from the sites visit Foundation Phase Class Meetings throughout the fall of the first year to share information about their campuses with students.<\/p>\n Site representatives are available to meet with students to answer individual questions for the half-hour after the Class Meeting. This is a good opportunity to ask about things like housing, research options, etc. at each site.<\/p>\n <\/a>Each site holds an Open House in the fall\/winter to give students a chance to visit in-person and learn more about the unique aspects of the Application Phase experiences in the different locations. Open House dates are all scheduled during curriculum-free times and are announced at class meetings and via the HEEL Health Newsletter.<\/p>\n For the Open House dates, we organize a bus to take students to the Wilmington, Asheville, and Charlotte locations. Instructions for how to sign up for Open Houses and bus seats are shared via email and during class meetings. Students are not required to ride the bus (they may drive on their own) but all students are required to sign up for Open Houses and to notify campus representatives if their plans change so that campuses can plan for the correct number of visitors.<\/p>\n <\/a>In early March, students receive a Qualtrics survey that asks the following:<\/p>\n Next, the form asks if students would like to enter the lottery as a \u201cpod.\u201d A pod is a group of up to three students who apply to the lottery as a single unit. The purpose of pods is to offer students the opportunity to maintain community formed during the Foundation Phase (e.g., friends, roommates, academic support systems). If students wish to \u201cpod,\u201d they submit the names of group members and an attestation that all group members agree to a single site rank list. Students in special programs (Community Health Track\/Kenan Programming Participants) and those who request exemptions may not participate in a pod.<\/p>\n Students in the aforementioned special programs and students with approved exemptions are assigned to campuses. The remaining students and pods of students are assigned to campuses using a computer program that generates an optimal set of placements given campus capacities and student rankings.<\/p>\n Site assignments are announced via email in early April. Students with immediate concerns should first contact their advisors.<\/p>\n <\/a>Life happens! If students need to request a site reassignment, they may do so during the Neurons to Networks course in the 2nd year (September) of the Foundation Phase. Students who have had a change in their medical needs or other change in life circumstances that requires them to reconsider site assignment may submit a request to the Student Success Committee. The fall reassignment period will be announced in the HEEL Health newsletter.<\/p>\n Requests for reassignment may be made on the grounds of:<\/p>\n Another great way to learn more about each site is to talk with its Student Government Curriculum Representative<\/a>.<\/p>\nOpen Houses<\/h2>\n
