Academic Success
The ultimate objective for most
international students is to successfully complete your academic goals and to complete your degree. Your success
is important to us and we are committed to help you by providing timely advice, accurate information and answers, necessary forms and authorizations,
and encouragement along the way.
It is important to remember that OIS is here to educate and serve – we view our responsibility as providing
you with the necessary information regarding your options, rights and responsibilities, pros and cons regarding different options, etc., but
the decisions, actions, and outcomes are yours.
Literally thousands of international students have successfully achieved their academic
goals and personal dreams at NC State and a few have had their dreams dashed and career goals scuttled through poor planning or poor choices.
There are numerous resources on campus to help students succeed. For course-specific issues,
meet with your instructor. For general academic issues or academic policies, consult your DGP or advisor. The
Student Counseling Center can
assist with time-management, stress, and study-skills habits. The Tutorial Center can assist
undergraduate students with 100 and 200 level
courses. For a complete listing of college or division-based programs to help students succeed, visit the University's
Student Success Inventory. If you're not sure where to go for
help, meet with an OIS advisor and we'll help point you in the right direction.
