The connection between adviser and student is strengthened by weekly contact in the orientation class. The class also provides support for you to make a good academic and social transition to college life. Finally, a comprehensive investigation of your career and personal interests is linked with an examination of the majors and opportunities available at N.C. State. However, for students who are still narrowing down their choices or still improving their GPA's, it is possible to remain in FYC beyond the second semester. Since FYC is not a degree-granting college, there is a point where it is no longer in a student's best interest to stay in the program.
Advisers can help students at any level of decision-making, and there are other resources on campus.
Your adviser can talk with you about your interests and help you research some options. The Career Center is another great resource. These requirements can and do change without notice, so it is always best to check with the department you have selected for the most up to date information. Your adviser is also a good resource and can refer you to the correct departmental contact person. The FYC Workbook usually has a listing of internal transfer requirements that can be helfpul.
