The Charlotte campus is generally open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., but we often have extended hours for in-person classes.
To ensure campus safety, elevators to the 11th floor of our building, 101 N. Tryon, are locked 24/7. Students, faculty, and staff must swipe their ID badges in the elevator to access the 11th floor. The badges are available from the operations manager, Chris Smith, at [email protected]. Badges remain active until students graduate.
