Resources
Knowing where to go for help or where to find answers to your questions is key to your success as a college student. Your academic advisor and the Student Success and Advising Center have a wealth of information to help you find the answers or identify campus resources to help you reach your educational and personal goals.
NC State and College Resources
- Professional Education for Teachers – What does it mean to be admitted to candidacy? What is the professional semester? How do I obtain my teaching license? Find answers to your professional education and licensure questions here.
- General Education Program – Information about NC State’s General Education Program (GEP) requirements, including a list of classes meeting each requirement.
- NC State Minors – If you want to add a minor during your time at NC State, you’ll want to start by perusing this list. Minors typically add 15 to 18 additional hours (5 to 6 additional classes) on top of your degree requirements. However, most minors will allow you to ‘double count’ up to two courses to go towards both your minor and your major, assuming that the minor courses fit into your major’s degree plan.
- Academic Advising Services – If you are switching majors or perhaps just undecided about the best academic path, the advisors in Academic Advising Services can help. They provide general advising for the university and are well-versed in the different majors that NC State offers.
- Transfer Course Equivalencies – Find out how college courses taken at another institution will transfer to NC State.
- Transfer Planner Tool– See how your courses transfer to your preferred major at NC State
