We respond as promptly as possible to public records requests while protecting the privacy rights of our students and employees, as well as other information that is confidential under federal and state laws.

https://nextrequest.unc.edu/ is the official homepage for Office of Public Records. We created this website to make it easy to request public records and to see how the University’s Public Records Office responds.

Please note that public records requests, and responses to those requests, are also public records.
