You must reset your password after your first log-in by using the Unity Password Change Tool. After changing your password, you then need to create your User Identification and Authentication questions (UIA).

SKEMA US Internships
SKEMA students interested in doing an internship in the United States can apply for a J-1 Student Intern visa through the GTI. Students apply online (go.ncsu.edu/iac_apply) at least 60 days before the start of their internships and pay the GTI administration fee of $500. This application is DIFFERENT from the one for students who are planning to study at the SKEMA US Campus.
Visit the off-campus internships* section of the website for more detailed information about the process and the documents you need for your application. You must submit all your documentation at least 45 days before the start of your internship to the GTI Application Center BEFORE we can begin to process your application. Applications will not begin to be processed until all documents are complete and uploaded. Do NOT submit more than one application.
*SKEMA students should use SKEMA US Campus Director Pascal Vidal or SKEMA US Executive Assistant Maude Morissette for the academic recommendation from their home university in their application.
