We are excited that you have chosen NC State University to be your home. This site will help guide you through the registration process for your Fall semester classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Incoming first-year students will be randomly divided into three groups for registration. Open seats in sections will be divided evenly across these days, so no group of students has an advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Group 1: <\/strong>Monday, June 2 (8:00am-11:59pm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Group 2: <\/strong>Wednesday, June 4 (8:00am-11:59pm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Group 3: <\/strong>Friday, June 6 (8:00am-11:59pm)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Enrollment will close for students in between these assigned times, and will re-open for ALL students beginning Monday, June 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can see your assigned day\/time in MyPack Portal. Login to MyPack Portal, select the Student Homepage and Select the \u201cPlanning and Enrollment\u201d tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While it is not imperative to register immediately, it\u2019s important to register as soon as possible in order to have the best selection of courses. You should make an attempt to register on the day assigned to your group. You can continue to work on your schedule throughout the summer, but please complete your course registration no later than Friday, June 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All new Wilson College of Textiles students should complete the Math and Chemistry Placement Tests prior to enrolling in classes to ensure you select the appropriate math and\/or chemistry courses. Information on Placement Tests can be found here<\/a>; these placement tests should be completed by May 16, 2025. The placement tests will be open after this date, but taking them later than this may delay your ability to register for a math or chemistry course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wilson College of Textiles Plans and Requirements by Major <\/a> \u2013 use this page to see a list of required courses for your major, read course descriptions, and view a suggested 8-semester sequence of requirements. Keep in mind that while you\u2019ll be required to meet all listed requirements, your schedule will look different each semester than what is listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you run into issues or questions while you are enrolling in courses, please review these FAQs first. The answer to your question is likely answered here. If you still have questions, please reach out to your academic advisor (contact information below).<\/p>\n\n\n \n \n\n You\u2019ve likely been pre-enrolled in certain classes that are required for your intended major and should be taken your first semester. Do NOT change or remove these courses from your schedule without communicating with your advisor first. Changing these courses could put you off-sequence for your major requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n\n \n \n\n If you receive an error message, it is important to read the message to understand why you may not be able to add that particular course or section. Here are some common error messages you may see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n\n If you are certain you will receive credit for the course you\u2019re enrolled in, then you will not need to take the class again. It is best practice to verify with your advisor that your anticipated credits will satisfy your degree requirements before dropping the class from your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n\n Half of incoming freshmen take ENG 101 in the fall; the other half will take it in the spring. If you are unable to register for ENG 101 in the fall, you should plan to take this course in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n\n \n \n\n Yes, you can return to MyPack Portal at any time to update your course selections. Keep in mind that many other incoming students are also registering for courses in June and July, so it is possible that certain classes may no longer be available after your initial self-registration. Also, remember to check with your advisor before making changes to your schedule beyond the listed recommendations for your major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you decide you want to SWAP sections of one class for another section of the same course, you can do that by following these directions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n\nDirections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
