Who can take this class?

Any faculty, staff or student (and space permitting, alumni) at UNC-Chapel Hill. If we run out of space, priority is given to individuals most committed to taking the entire LTV series, that is, they have an idea and want to assemble a team.

How do I sign up for the class?

Go to the UNC Event Registration site: LTV Registration

Can I audit it?

Yes

Can I attend individual sessions?

Yes. The Course Registration site allows you to choose individual sessions or all sessions, for-credit or not-for-credit.

What is the cost?

$0 to attend sessions not-for-credit. To receive credit, faculty and staff may use tuition waivers. Students receive credit and pay tuition through their normal channels. There is no extra charge for this class.

Is LTV I required to get into LTV II?

No. Anyone can apply to LTV II (LTV II Online Application). About half of applicants generally are accepted into LTV II. LTV I is designed to help you assemble your team and put together a solid application.Taking LTV I does not guarantee a spot in LTV II. You will have to apply and be selected.

Is LTV II required after LTV I?

No. However, if we must limit LTV I due to classroom size, priority will be given to individuals who will be pursuing the entire LTV series. An alternative for those who are only interested in an introductory course is the Graduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship.
