Q: I want to change my intended major to a major that is not in the College of Education. How do I do this?
June 1 (fall entry) and July 1 (spring entry) are the deadlines for requesting changes to your major. You must contact undergraduate admissions.
Q: How do I find out who my academic advisor is?
Student can view their assigned advisor(s) by logging into MyPack Portal > Student Homepage > Planning & Enrollment tile > Advisors tab (left-hand navigation menu)
AP/IB and Transfer Credit
Q: I have AP/IB/transfer credit. Do I still have to take the NC State math and chemistry placement tests?
Yes, the math placement test is required. Typically, AP, IB and transfer scores/credits do not populate in the enrollment system until mid-July. This will delay your ability to enroll in appropriate courses. Final enrollment is always based on your highest score, so when your AP/IB/transfer credits do come in, you can make changes to your schedule then, if necessary. If you are planning on majoring in science education or math education with dual degrees in mathematics or statistics you must take the chemistry placement test.
Q: Will I get credit for my AP/IB/Dual Enrollment courses?
AP Credit: https://admissions.ncsu.edu/apply/credit-opportunities/advanced-placement-ap/
IB Credit: https://admissions.ncsu.edu/apply/credit-opportunities/international-baccalaureate-ib/
