  • College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
  • College of Design
  • College of Education
  • College of Engineering(see “Prior to Orientation” information for registration details)
  • College of Sciences
  • College of Natural Resources
  • Poole College of Management
  • University College (Exploratory Studies)
  • University College (Music Technology)
  • Wilson College of Textiles

If you have questions about which particular classes to register for that are not answered by yourSemester Sequence,Degree Audit, or thecollege websites, please contact youradvisor.

Step 3

Log-in toMyPack Portaland register for courses through theEnrollment Wizard(12 hours minimum in order to be full-time and comply with the universitySatisfactory Academic Progress Policy).

You may see courses pre-loaded into yourPack Planner, which are accessible through the Enrollment Wizard on the “Planner Courses” tab. These are the suggested courses in which to enroll for your first semester. If you have received other information from your college advisor, please confirm with them and follow their instructions for enrollment.

If you already have courses in your schedule, please DO NOT DROP them from your schedule unless advised to do so by your advisor.You may already be registered for college introductory courses, or others if you are participating in a special group (ie. University Honors or Park Scholars). Please use your AP or SAT Level II Math scores to register for the appropriate math and science courses. If you do not have AP or SAT II scores, please take theNCState online math skills testto determine which math course to take.

Please use this chart and your AP Test Scores to determine what level of math, science, or English for which you need to register. For all other placement information, please consult theNew Student Programs placement testing website.

Half of all incoming first-year students take ENG 101 in the fall semester and the other half take it in the spring. If you are unable to register, you should enroll in an advised alternative course instead. Additional seatsmightopen in early August, butif you are not able to enroll in ENG 101, you should anticipate enrolling in this course during the spring semester.

For more information on how to use MyPack Portal, view ourtutorials.

Enrollment Windows

Incoming first-year students will be assigned an enrollment window for one of the following dates:

  • Tuesday, June 4
  • Wednesday, June 5
  • Thursday, June 6
  • Friday, June 7

You will have from 8 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on your assigned date to register for classes. After your window closes, you will not be able to register until open enrollment begins on Monday, June 10. It is very important that you register during your assigned time.

Please note: enrollment dates will be randomly assigned after evenly dividing students into four groups by major. Each of these groups will then be assigned one of the above dates to register for classes. All available seats in classes will also be divided evenly, with a fourth of seats opening each day. This process will keep registration for new students as equitable as possible.

After all incoming first-year students have had a chance to enroll, you will be able to make additional schedule changes beginning Monday, June 10. Remember all new students are expected to attend New Student Orientation.

Self-Registration Program Help

Unity ID

Each person affiliated with NCState University is assigned a Unity ID and password. Your Unity ID and password allow you access to NCState e-mail, computing labs, MyPack Portal, etc.

Your Unity ID was produced by the Office of Information Technology and mailed to you by the Department of Registration and Records. Your Unity ID is never longer than 8 characters and is automatically generated from your name in a two-step procedure:

  1. A string of letters is created using the initials of your first and middle names and the first six letters of your last name, all in lower case.
  2. If this string matches one previously created for someone else, the last letter will be replaced with or followed by a numeral.

If you have lost your SRP letter, you can find your Unity ID in WolfPAW. Log in to yourWolfPAW accountand view your “Application Status.”

Unity Password

Your initial (default) 8-digit password is:

  • the last four digits of your campus ID* number followed by
  • the four digits of your birth month and day
    • For example, if your campus ID number ends in 1234 and your birthday is January 31, then your initial password is 12340131.

If you have lost your SRP letter, you can find your Campus ID* number in WolfPAW. Log in to yourWolfPAW accountand view your “Application Status.”

You may have already changed your password.

Contact the OIT helpdesk at (919) 515-HELP if your password is not working.

Password Security

NCState requires all students to change their password one every year. Since your initial password is determined by formula, it is required that you change your password before you log into the MyPack Portal. This will help protect your academic and personal information.

You canchange your passwordonline. For more information on password security, please visit theUnity Password page.

Advising Hold

Generally, your Advising Hold has already been released for Enrollment. However, certain programs require the completion of all placement tests and surveys before enrollment can begin.
