Student summer perks

Besides the perk of being on the most beautiful campus in Charlotte, students can take advantage of many opportunities. For most, all you need is your student ID number, and discounts and fun activities are at your fingertips.

Shopping with UNiDAYS and Student Beans

Do you like to shop at a discount? You’re in luck! UNiDAYS is a database of discounts ranging from clothing brands such as American Eagle and Lee to technology and software such as HP and Adobe Creative Cloud.

StudentBeans has discounts on your favorite brands like Gymshark, Nike, athletic tickets and more.

Movies at Popp Martin Student Union Theater

A great way to beat the heat this summer! Come to the Popp Martin Student Union to watch films such as the “Super Mario Bros. Movie” and “John Wick 4.” The best part — movies are free with your student ID.

UREC for the summer

The UNC Charlotte University Recreation Center, or UREC, is free for students. It offers basketball, volleyball, badminton and pickleball courts. Break a sweat in the 30,000-square-foot gym. Afterward, soak in the indoor and outdoor leisure pools featuring a vortex loop and four lanes for lap swimming.

Light rail adventure
