Dear Eagles,
Quote of the Day
"The future depends on what you do today.” –Mahatma Gandhi
Summertime means summer school and orientation for new students, called SOAR at NCCU. In late June, we welcomed 68 new Aspiring Eagles Academy first-year students who started their journey at NCCU. These students take summer courses in Summer Session II to get a jump start on their college careers. University College welcomes all new and continuing students!
Today’s message highlights fall semester reminders, important dates, and more.
Fifteen to Finish
We encourage all students to take 15 credit hours or more each semester. If students pass 15 credit hours each semester, they graduate in 4 years. Summer is available to help students make up time or to get ahead.
Continuing students, check your fall schedule and make sure you have at least 15 credit hours on your schedule. Most courses are 3 credit hours, and this means taking about 5 courses each semester. Fall registration is still available, and your advisor is also available to meet as needed. Additional seats are being added throughout the summer.
New students, as you are building your schedule, aim for 15 or more credits. Your academic advisor at SOAR will help you finalize your schedule. If you have questions after SOAR, you can still contact the advisor who you worked with during SOAR.
Important Dates
Have questions? Work with your academic advisor. I’m also available via phone or text at 919-695-1211.
Sincerely,
Zack Underwood
Dean of University College
