Additional non-mandatory cases can be added after August 7, as long as the dossiers are complete and uploaded to the website by the college’s deadline.

Finally, due to COVID-19 related challenges we have experienced this spring and may continue to experience going forward, we are issuing the attached guidance to help you navigate certain aspects of the dossier/process that are likely to be impacted. Please contact Katharine Stewart (kestewa4@ncsu.edu) or Amy Jinnette (arjinnet@ncsu.edu) with any questions.
