Role-Based Campus Home Screens
UNCG Mobile begins by letting users choose how they relate to the university, so the available information can match their needs. Students, new students, graduate students, prospective students, alumni, faculty and staff, and families or fans can each select a dedicated group. This makes the app useful beyond enrolled students and avoids forcing every audience through the same campus resource list.
The role selector is connected to a customizable home experience with Home, Messages, Favorites, and Menu navigation. Users can move among these areas while keeping key campus information close at hand. This structure is especially practical during orientation, campus visits, or a new semester, when different people need different directions, contacts, deadlines, and updates.
Maps, Dining, and Campus Transportation
Campus navigation tools help users find buildings and move around UNC Greensboro. UNCG Mobile provides a campus map with walking or driving directions, along with dining hours and information about open facilities. Transportation resources include the Spartan Chariot map and live bus-location views, giving students and visitors a more useful starting point for planning trips between classes, offices, dining locations, and events.
These resources reduce the need to search separate university pages while on the move. A prospective student can look for a destination before a tour, while a current student can check dining or transportation details between activities. Quick access to emergency numbers and timely campus links also keeps important practical information within the same campus-focused interface.
Academic Records and University Services
Students can use UNCG Mobile as an entry point to academic and administrative resources. Account-based tools include access to schedules, academic records, registration information, and the course catalog. The app also connects users with campus directories, library resources, calendars, and other university services, making it easier to locate a person, confirm course information, or open a frequently needed system from a phone.
The mix of public and sign-in resources supports both quick lookups and more personal tasks. Faculty and staff can reach workplace or academic calendars, while students can move from general campus information to their own records when needed. Keeping these links together is useful for users who prefer one organized campus hub instead of remembering several separate websites.
Messages, Favorites, and Opt-In Channels
UNCG Mobile includes messaging tools for campus notices and interest-based updates. Users can browse all messages, choose opt-in channels for groups or clubs, and receive emergency alerts or weather information. New students can follow targeted channels for orientation reminders, while sports followers can use team-related channels to keep up with Spartan athletics. These choices help users focus on the updates that matter to their campus role and interests.
Favorites provide a simple way to save selected items for faster return, and the menu can be customized around frequently used resources. Together with notification controls, these features turn the app from a static directory into a personal campus dashboard. It suits users who want timely information without repeatedly navigating the full collection of university links and services.
