The James B. Chavis Student Center exists to meet the social, cultural, educational, and recreational needs of the University community. It provides a common space where informal interaction enhances the quality of life on campus. While many of our programs are geared towards the needs of our students, we are the central gathering place for all members of the UNCP community–students, faculty, alumni staff,–to meet, relax, and share experiences.
The Student Center, commonly known as the Student Center, has facilities and services for practically all of your daily needs. Included within the Student Center are lounges, conference rooms, food services, bowling lanes, a Recreation Center, administrative and student organization offices and much more. The Student Center is more than just facilities and services; it is also people and programs. Whether it is to become involved in the various student organizations, watch TV, or attend a movie, you’ll find it in the Student Center. Take a closer look into all our meeting places.
The administrative office of the Student Center is located on the second floor in Office 234. The office is open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday – Friday. The staff are dedicated to making your experience satisfying and enriching. Feel free to drop by – we are here for you.
The facilities of the Student Center and Annex are open to all members of the campus community and guests as long as the utilization is consistent with The University of North Carolina policies, state and federal laws, and does not disrupt other usage of the facility. The building is wheelchair accessible with electronic doors at the main entrances, an elevator, and accessible restrooms on each floor. No bicycles, pets (except service animals), skate boards, or roller blades/skates are allowed in the Student Center. Gambling is prohibited.
