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, religion, gender, age or disability. Unless
otherwise specified, admission to 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.
