POLICY
North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is an equal
opportunity institution committed to the equality of educational opportunity and
does not discriminate against applicants based on race, color, national origin,

all undergraduate curricula is under the jurisdiction of the Director of
Admissions.
OTHER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Filing of
Credentials
Applicants should take the proper steps to see that their credentials are sent
to the Director of Admissions as early as possible, preferably not less than
thirty (30) days before the beginning of the semester in which they plan to
enroll.
Interviews and Campus
Visits
Interviews are not required for admission; however, persons with unusual
circumstances are welcome to schedule appointments to discuss these matters with
an Admissions Counselor or the Director of Admissions. Campus visits are
encouraged and campus tours are routinely given. Reservations for the tour are
highly recommended.
Orientation, Registration and the Opening of
the Semester
All newly admitted students are expected to attend Orientation, and freshman
students living on campus must arrive the day preceding the freshman Orientation
program (see University Calendar). Orientation for transfer and special students
is scheduled for the day preceding registration. Placement testing in
Mathematics and English is required for all freshmen. These tests are designed
as aids for academic advising and scheduling. Students who fail to show
proficiency in these academic areas will be assigned remedial course work.
Transfer students for programs in Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science,
Animal and Plant Science, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Electronics
Technology are required to take a special mathematics test.
Permission to Take Courses Elsewhere
North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University degree-seeking
students who desire to take courses elsewhere are required to obtain approval
from their school/college dean before registering at another institution. Course
descriptions are needed in order for accurate evaluations to be done. Only the
credit hours will transfer to A&T and a minimum grade of “C” is required for a
course to transfer. The University does not accept credit from proficiency
examinations or grades of P/F. Transient Study Forms and Guidelines for
off-campus study are available in the Office of Admissions.
