NC State\u2019s academic advising team provides outstanding resources in this area. By reading the following article originally written for students, you\u2019ll equip yourself with the knowledge necessary to help students achieve their academic goals by pointing them in the direction of a helpful advisor.<\/em><\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

For most students at NC State, the path from enrollment to graduation will take a few turns. There are changes of major, transfer credits, online courses, minor options and dual degrees to consider. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thankfully, there\u2019s a dedicated team of <\/span>academic advisers<\/span><\/a> here to help make sense of it all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below, you\u2019ll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about advising and academic support at NC State, and how it can help you achieve your goals. <\/span><\/p>\n

A Proactive Advising Model<\/b><\/h2>\n

Who should I see for advising? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Academic Advising Programs and Services<\/a>\u00a0is a great place to start.<\/span><\/p>\n

NC State has over 200 dedicated \u201cprimary-role\u201d advisers and hundreds more faculty advisers. Students will generally see an <\/span>adviser within their college<\/span><\/a> but can also make an appointment with a primary-role adviser; adviser assignments can be found in <\/span>MyPack Portal<\/span><\/a>. Each college or department also has a <\/span>coordinator of advising<\/span><\/a> who can help. Additionally, <\/span>new students<\/span><\/a> have their own advisers: All incoming students are assigned to an academic adviser in their major, but can meet with an adviser in the main advising office if they are interested in changing to another major or college.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carrie McLean, assistant dean of of academic advising programs and services, is passionate about providing the best service possible to every student.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe offer as many ways to meet students as we can. We do Skype appointments, email advising and phone sessions, though most students prefer face-to-face meetings and <\/span>walk-ins<\/span><\/a>,\u201d says McLean.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students can schedule appointments and receive text reminders using the Student Success GPS<\/a>, NC State’s advising software. The GPS, along with the Student Information System, lets advisers document meeting notes, areas of student concern and more, to best coordinate a support network as students navigate toward a degree.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here for every student,\u201d says McLean. \u201cEven something as small as struggling in a specific class \u2014 just come have a conversation. We can help you find tutors. It\u2019s not always about dropping the class.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Transfer Students Find Their Stride<\/b><\/h2>\n

I\u2019m a transfer student. How do I know which of my credits will count toward my degree?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Transfer student advising<\/span><\/a> has you covered. Coordinator Melanie Cruz works with prospective transfer students and considers herself a navigator. With a career background in community colleges, she\u2019s familiar with common concerns of many transfer students at NC State. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI get a lot of questions about credit transfers and the right person to contact. I\u2019m not the one with all the answers, but I\u2019m the one who connects you and helps you figure out all the pieces,\u201d says Cruz. <\/span><\/p>\n

Changing schools is a big adjustment. \u201cFor transfer students, there\u2019s always a learning curve. Strategies that worked in their former learning environments might need a little adjustment when they get here.\u201d Cruz also offers tips and tricks for exam review, connecting with faculty and keeping on top of academic workloads.<\/span><\/p>\n

Changing Majors, Sometimes More Than Once<\/b><\/h2>\n

What do I do if I want to change my major?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Many students begin college with a single outcome in mind, but certain classes \u00a0\u2014 for better or worse \u2014 can make them want to change everything. A 2012 study indicated that between 40 and 85 percent of all students change their major at least once before they graduate from college, and 10 percent of students change their majors at least four times. <\/span><\/p>\n

Enter the <\/span>Inter-College Transfer Program<\/span><\/a>, or ICT. Martha Wicker, ICT coordinator, is a 25-year veteran of NC State and has experience as an adviser and career counselor. She also serves as a <\/span>virtual adviser<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome students get a clear signal their first semester: this isn\u2019t for me,\u201d says Wicker. The sooner a student knows they want to transfer colleges, the better. \u201cWe want to get students in early so they don\u2019t lose time and money toward graduation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A crucial part of the collegiate transfer process is the <\/span>Change of Degree Application<\/span><\/a>, or CODA. Every college has minimum credit hour and GPA requirements for transfer eligibility, and no two colleges have the same CODA requirements. There are also firm application deadlines to keep in mind. <\/span><\/p>\n

Advisers are here to help with the CODA process, from <\/span>running degree audits<\/span><\/a> to discussing possible minors. <\/span><\/p>\n

The one thing they can\u2019t do? Tell a student what to major in. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBe educated about what you\u2019re interested in,\u201d says Wicker. She strongly recommends students spend time with the <\/span>Explore Majors and Minors<\/span><\/a> page, where they can look up areas of study by interest, or the <\/span>list of all majors by college<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

A lot of outside factors like finances, job prospects or family support can impact degree choices. If possible, students must take a step back and assess things for themselves. \u201cThere\u2019s a tremendous relief when we find the right fit. Sometimes it\u2019s the first time they can breathe,\u201d says Wicker.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Student Perspective<\/b><\/h2>\n

Emily Syrop, a senior from Jupiter, Florida, changed majors from Animal Science to Sport Management her sophomore year. She sought the ICT program during her transition to help hone her concentration and keep her on track to graduate. Syrop said meeting with an adviser, specifically Cruz, helped her realize what was possible from NC State\u2019s vast collection of majors. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was talking to Melanie, we came up with a couple ideas based on my interests. I was able to sign up for a general ed class to explore my new major that would still count towards graduation. That class was about cultural differences and equality within sports, and made me realize what I wanted to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing she could ask as many questions as she needed and always get a response from her adviser helped Syrop feel calm and in control of the process. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNow, I feel great. I have 11 credits left and a job already lined up for the summer, interning with a broadcaster at ESPN,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m so glad those advising resources were there when I really needed them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

International Students Face a World of Changes<\/b><\/h2>\n

I\u2019m an international student and things are complicated. How can I get help?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

With a strong worldwide reputation, NC State is a top choice for international students for both undergraduate and graduate programs. Nearly 5,000 students from more than 120 countries study here and make Raleigh home. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"InternationalTony Shurer serves as the academic coordinator for international student support in the <\/span>Office of International Services<\/span><\/a>. He explains that a large part of his job is making sure students are heard, including any challenges or successes they\u2019ve had. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cInternational students are coming from a place where everything is different. I help students make sense of their transition,\u201d says Shurer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Any changes and decisions may come with added pressure from friends and family back home. \u201cIt can start to feel like their only option is to excel on this one very narrow track,\u201d says Shurer, \u201cbut we can always help students find their unique fit.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Shurer also helps non-native English speakers lean into success. \u201cWhen international students compare themselves to their domestic peers, I help them recalibrate to align with their own goals and celebrate their own path,\u201d he says. <\/span><\/p>\n

Helping the Whole Student<\/b><\/h2>\n

I\u2019m struggling academically because of things going on in my personal life. How can I get help?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Many students are embarrassed or anxious to share school concerns with family and peers, and academic advisers are sometimes the only point of contact a student has to discuss struggles and successes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Advisers work hand-in-hand with the <\/span>Counseling Center<\/span><\/a>, offering referrals and using the <\/span>NC State Cares<\/span><\/a> page. \u201cSometimes you might be the only person that student has connected with. You might be the only person they\u2019re even talking with. It\u2019s our responsibility to make sure they get the support they need,\u201d says Cruz. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe try to emphasize the necessity of finding balance,\u201d says Shurer. \u201cStudent success goes far beyond GPA and exam grades. If they\u2019re struggling socially or working a lot of hours, we help them give themselves permission to re-prioritize. You can almost see a wave of relief.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A Focus on Career<\/b><\/h2>\n

How can I be sure that what I\u2019m studying will help me get a job?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Academic and career advisers work hand in hand to ensure students feel on-track. <\/span><\/p>\n

Many students get anxiety their senior year as they look ahead to joining the workforce. To help answer those concerns, advising at NC State works in concert with the <\/span>Career Development Center<\/span><\/a> and other <\/span>career services<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes students will pigeonhole themselves into thinking they have to study one thing to do another. But it\u2019s not always linear,\u201d says Wicker. \u201cCareer services can really help students broaden their perspective on the world of work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Wicker encourages students to complete a <\/span>career assessment<\/span><\/a> to help them focus their interests and even their majors. <\/span><\/p>\n

Advising for Distance Learners<\/b><\/h2>\n

I\u2019m taking classes online and need some help. Who do I contact?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

NC State\u2019s <\/span>online and distance education<\/span><\/a> serves thousands of students seeking degrees and certification, with <\/span>designated advisers<\/span><\/a> for online and distance learners. Lynda Hambourger, academic adviser for online students, encourages <\/span>student success in online classes<\/span><\/a> by managing expectations and directing students to helpful resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a myth out there that online classes are somehow easier, and that\u2019s absolutely false,\u201d says Hambourger. \u201cO<\/span>nline learning, while convenient, is actually more demanding. The student has to be more self-directed.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Hambourger also helps all types of students find a path from initial interest to exploring classes and finally through registration. \u201cSometimes I hear from students who simply want to take prerequisites for a particular program, and other times I talk to students who haven\u2019t navigated the higher education system in 30 years. But there\u2019s a way to help everybody,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n
