An
OASIS of Support
At NC State, the academic colleges
assign each of their students an adviser to
assist with course selection and registration,
academic requirements and other
issues related to enrollment, career development,
and academic success. Advisers
serve as advocates and provide the support
and guidance needed to navigate the
systems and services that are in place to
help your son or daughter succeed. [More]
