UNDERSTANDING THE TRANSITION Coming to college is an exciting and overwhelming time and the experience is different for every student. It presents a world of opportunities in a new place full of different faces, each with their own brilliant ideas. College represents freedom, eagerness, anticipation and, at times, nervousness. Largely, it is a shift from the familiarities of home to a new and different experience of college life. The transition will bring about many questions and challenges. But it will also bring many more memories and new routines. Your student will form new relationships and develop disciplines and skills you never knew existed deep within them! Their increased level of independence may initially be
overwhelming — and that’s ok! — but it will expose them to new behaviors and create new values. They may also have their fair share of making questionable choices, but this too will assist in the development of individual responsibility and respect. You, as parents and family members, have done a phenomenal job. Your student has made it to college! Even though you will not be here to guide them each step of the way, there will now be countless faculty and staff to whom they can go for guidance. We look forward to supporting your student in their pursuit of Eagle Excellence.

COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR STUDENT
8
1
Ask Questions (But Not Too Many)
2
Don’t Ask Them If They’re Homesick
3
Write or Send Email (Even If They Don’t Write or Email You Back)
Many college students think they are “cool” and may resent interference with their newfound independence. Most desire the security of knowing that you are still interested in their well-being. Parental curiosity may add more stress than relief, depending on the attitudes of the persons involved. Try to avoid “I-havea-right-to-know” tinged questions with ulterior motives or “the nag.” Honest inquiries, however, and the “between friends” communication and discussion will do much to strengthen the parent-student relationship.
The power of suggestion can be dangerous. The idea of being homesick often doesn’t occur until someone suggests it. The first few weeks of school are full of activities and friends. The challenge of meeting new people and adjusting to new situations takes most of a student’s time and concentration. So, unless they’re reminded of it, they may be able to escape the loneliness and frustration of homesickness. Even if they don’t tell you during those first few weeks, they do miss you.
Although students are typically eager to experience all of the away-from-home independence they can in those first weeks, most still yearn for family ties and the security those ties bring. This surge of independence may be misinterpreted as rejection by sensitive parents, but most students want some news of home and family. There’s nothing more disheartening than an empty mailbox. (Warning: don’t expect a reply to every letter or email you send.) And sometimes, it’s better to let them call you. Don’t call every day — just check in when necessary, and encourage your student to solve their own problems before calling home.
collegiateparent.com/school/north-carolina-central-university
4
Don’t Worry (Too Much) About Phone Calls, Letters or Emails That Are Emotional In Nature
5
Visit (But Not Too Often)
6
It’s All Part of Growing Up
Parenting can be a thankless job, especially during the college years. It’s a lot of give and only a little take. Often when troubles become too much for a first-year student to handle (a flunked test, end of a relationship and a shrunken T-shirt — all in one day), the only place to turn, write or call is home. Unfortunately, this is often the only time that an urge to communicate is felt so strongly, so you rarely get to hear about the “A” paper, the new relationship or the domestic triumph.
Visits by parents (especially those that include a shopping spree or dinner) are another part of first-year events that students may not admit they like, but do appreciate. Pretended disdain of these visits is just another aspect of the firstyear syndrome. Plan the visits ahead of time — don’t just pop in unexpectedly as that has potential to cause problems! We recommend waiting at least 30 days for the first visit to or from home.
The first year of college can be full of discovery, inspiration, good times and new friends. Students also can experience indecision, disappointments and mistakes. It will take time for some students to realize that making mistakes and being happy, sad, confused, liked and disappointed are all part of growing up. Parents should understand that many college students do not earn good grades, know what major they want to study, have activity-filled days, or make lots of friends. But there are students who do experience these things. And there are many who undergo trials and hardships. Being college-educated does not mean one is infallible. Parents who try to accept and understand their student’s experiences are providing support and encouragement when it is needed most.
7
Discuss Finances
8
Prepare for Their Return
Most college students are still financially dependent on parents to some degree. Discuss your family’s financial status with your son or daughter. Students need to know how much money will be available to them and how much of the fiscal responsibility is theirs.
When the school year ends and your son or daughter returns home for vacation, plan to discuss the rules of living at home. Parents need to respect the individuality their children have worked hard to achieve, and students need to know there are rules and courtesies to follow. Excerpt from the Orientation Directors Manual published by the National Orientation Directors Association and from “Putting Someone Through College” by Jerry O’Connor.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION Academic Advising
Satisfactory Academic Progress
During Student Orientation, Advising & Registration (SOAR), students have their first meeting with their academic advisor. New first-year and transfer students enter the University College at North Carolina Central University and are required to meet with their academic advisors multiple times each semester. During the initial meeting, a review of their desired academic program, including the general education curriculum and general academic policies (academic progress, holds, schedules, grade point average, etc.), and an overview of the registration process will take place.
(Academic Probation and Suspension)
1. Student reviews academic program and course offerings prior to the advising conference. 2. Student meets with their academic advisor. 3. Advisor and student review the academic curriculum and course offerings for the upcoming semester. 4. Advisor and student complete, review and sign the Advising Worksheet. 5. Advisor and student receive a printout of the schedule of registered courses.
10
At the end of the spring semester, a yearend review is completed, and students who are out of compliance with one or more of the satisfactory academic progress standards become ineligible for further financial aid until all deficiencies are remedied. The Scholarships and Student Aid Office sends written notification of ineligibility to students at their permanent addresses listed in official university records in the Registrar’s Office. Satisfactory academic progress and eligibility for financial aid are determined each academic year after the spring semester grades are available. To remain eligible for financial aid, undergraduate students must: • Have completed 67% of attempted hours. • Maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 or greater. For financial aid purposes, the following definitions and conditions apply: • To earn hours at NCCU, one must receive a grade of A, B, C or D (including “+” or “−”). All other grades, including F, I, W, WC, WF, AU, NW or NF, do not earn hours.
collegiateparent.com/school/north-carolina-central-university
• Classes from which a student withdraws after the drop/add period count as attempted but not earned hours. Therefore, withdrawing from classes after the drop/add period will negatively affect students’ ability to satisfy the hours earned standard. • Audited courses count as attempted but not earned hours. Therefore, auditing classes will negatively affect students’ ability to satisfy the hours earned standard. • When a student repeats a course, the total attempted hours will increase with each repeat, but the student may only earn hours for a successfully completed course once. Therefore, repeating courses may negatively affect students’ ability to satisfy the hours earned standard. • Accepted transfer credit will count as both attempted and earned hours.
Dean’s Honor List The Dean’s List is composed of all juniors and seniors on the Honor Roll for the semester that have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Honors Student To be eligible for the University Honors Program, a student must apply and meet the following criteria: 9 14 Honors credits in the General Education Curriculum 9 3.3 grade point average 9 Two Honors seminars (6 credits) 9 Approved off-campus study, graduate-level coursework, or honors elective (3 credits)

UNDERSTANDING COLLEGE ACADEMICS The Advising and Registration Process at NCCU While academic policies are items for students to know, we want to give you the information first-hand so you can help guide your student in the right direction as conversations arise. You can find academic policies under the ACADEMICS tab on NCCU’S main webpage. Additionally, NCCU’S general education requirements and each major’s curriculum are outlined under the ACADEMICS tab. Anyone can access this information from NCCU’S website. This is an excellent resource for any question related to academic policies and procedures. The advising process at NCCU varies to some degree by college and major. Depending on a student’s academic standing (i.e. first year, sophomore, junior, senior), they may have a staff advisor or a faculty advisor. A staff advisor is a full-time professional staff member trained in class
14
advising for a specific major or department. NCCU values interactions between faculty and students, and at some point in their academic career, every student will be advised by a faculty member in their major. Academic advising and registration takes place in the fall for the following spring semester and in the spring for the following summer and fall terms. Registration dates can be found on the academic calendar. Each student is assigned a specific time and date, which will be determined when Banner (NCCU’s Student Information System site, where students can view their personal, financial and academic information) is set to open course registration for them. This date and time is based on class standing and number of credit hours earned. In order for a student to be granted access to register at their assigned date and time, they must first meet with their academic advisor. Students can find the
collegiateparent.com/school/north-carolina-central-university
name of their assigned academic advisor by logging into Banner and looking under Student Information. Each college and major coordinates advising differently. Students should expect to be contacted by their advisor approximately one month in advance of open registration. If this doesn’t happen, the student should contact their advisor to find out about their specific advising date and time.
Deadlines Each semester, there are key drop/add deadlines that are outlined in the academic calendar. Students are informed of these dates and deadlines via emails and advising appointments. Here are a few terms or phrases to know for registration: • Last day to register or add This denotes the last day of a term a student can sign up for a class to take in that same term. • Last day to drop a class or withdraw from University without a W Once a class is dropped, it is never seen on the transcript. If the class is properly withdrawn by the last day to drop without a W, no grade calculation or grade point is impacted. • Last day to drop a class or withdraw from University without final grades Dropping a class after the last day to drop will result in a “W” noted on the transcript with the course title, but no grade calculation will be completed.
Bill Paying Deadlines There are separate deadlines outside the academic calendar that need to be adhered to, such as submitting a student’s payment of tuition and fees. It is vital to meet these deadlines so no late fees are incurred and no classes are dropped from their schedule. Emails will be sent to each student regarding payment deadlines for tuition and fees.
SENDING A CARE PACKAGE Parents have three hopes when their child goes to college: positive personal development, positive personal relationships and positive outcomes. What we can tell you, though, is that the fourth pillar to help achieve these results is positive support from home! To help, we offer our hugely popular care package program. While your student is away at college, you’ll have the opportunity to send them care packages loaded with their favorite treats to boost their spirits and get them through late night studying or a mid-day munchie. Your personal handwritten note comes with each care package so you can send messages of optimism and support throughout the year. To send a care package or other goodies to your student, visit ocm.com/ncu.

PRIVACY OF STUDENT RECORDS A Special Note Concerning Students’ Grades Grades and all other student education records are protected by FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974). In compliance with the law, this information requires the student’s written consent prior to its release by a school official to any source outside the college (including parents). At the conclusion of each semester, students are able to access their final grades electronically through their Eagle Online portal (nccu.edu/myeol). Parents and families interested in seeing their student’s grades should request that their student either log them on to their electronic report or provide them with a printed copy of their grade report. Grades are not sent to the student by mail. North Carolina Central University is required by federal law to notify students annually of their rights under FERPA. FERPA provides that a student may inspect their education records. If the student finds the records to be inaccurate, misleading or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights, the student may request amendment to the record. FERPA also provides that a student’s personally identifiable information may not be released to someone else unless
16
(1) the student has given a proper consent for disclosure or (2) provisions of FERPA or federal regulations issued pursuant to FERPA permit the information to be released without the student’s consent. The following categories of personally identifiable information about students have been designated as public or directory information that may be disclosed for any purpose without student consent: name, local and permanent address, email address, telephone number, date and place of birth, class, major field of study, dates of attendance, enrollment status, degrees and awards (including scholarships) received, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended. Currently enrolled students may request that the University withhold disclosure of directory information by completing the appropriate form available in the Office of the Registrar. The University will honor a request for non-disclosure indefinitely, unless the student submits to the University Registrar a written revocation of such request for non-disclosure.
collegiateparent.com/school/north-carolina-central-university
APPLYING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS & FINANCIAL AID Need-based aid such as grants, student loans and work-study require the submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Each year, students and families should complete the FAFSA to secure aid for the next academic year. Continuing students should renew the FAFSA annually beginning October 1. For families who need additional assistance, applications for Parent PLUS Loans should be submitted annually by July 1. In cooperation with the Office of Admissions, recruiting scholarships are awarded on the basis of the student’s admissions application, high school
transcript and official test scores received by March 1. When financial aid is awarded, students will receive an email alerting them to view their awards in Banner. Students must review and accept the terms and conditions of their awards before they are able to individually accept/ decline their financial aid. Available funds will be credited to the student bill, except for work-study stipends, which are paid bi-weekly based on the hours worked. Arrange for direct deposit of financial aid refunds to avoid handling large sums of cash and discuss with your student ways to budget the funds for the entire semester.
COMMUNICATING CRISIS INFORMATION – EAGLE ALERTS! Parents and families can sign up to receive secure emergency notifications through their student’s Eagle Alert account. The notification service allows the University to send information and instructions in the event of an emergency or dangerous situation posing a serious threat to the health and/or safety of the NCCU community. When activated, this program
simultaneously sends messages to individuals through phone calls, text messaging and email. Parents and family members are strongly encouraged to sign up as Emergency Contacts through their student’s Banner SSB account.

TRANSPORTATION One of the most commonly asked questions during new student orientation is, “Does my student need a car?” This is a personal decision for the student and your family.
20
NCCU has created provisions for both — having a car and not having a car. If a student does have a car and they plan to park it on campus, they will need to register the car and purchase a permit through Parking and Transportation Services. There is an annual parking permit application process online. There are a few types of permits that students can choose from: residential, commuter and the Latham Parking Deck. Students can purchase either annual parking permits or semester-only permits. Campus parking lots, spaces and zones are specifically marked for the appropriate parking permit. There are several ways to get around campus without having a vehicle, many of which are highlighted here:
Car Sharing: ZipCar
Bicycles
Eagle Shuttle
Bicycles are an easy way to get around campus quickly. Bike racks are available all over campus to secure bikes. All DATA buses are equipped to handle bicycles for further travel.
The Eagle Shuttle provides transportation from the Latham Parking Deck to stops throughout the NCCU campus during fall and spring semesters only. The shuttles depart from the parking deck every 20 minutes. The Maroon shuttle operates from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Grey Shuttle operates from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Car sharing is a program for people who are looking for an alternative method of transportation in order to save time and money! The hybrid and low-emission vehicles are great for local errands and even road trips. Annual membership for the program is required, and fees are based on how long the car is used.
GoDurham GoDurham is a free public service. This transportation system operates around campus and within the City of Durham. Routes include area apartment complexes and grocery stores, and route times vary throughout the year.
collegiateparent.com/school/north-carolina-central-university
SENDING YOUR STUDENT MAIL As a resident of NCCU Housing, students are assigned a University mailbox that will be theirs for the entire time they live on campus. The University Mail Center is a full-service post office offering stamps, money orders, envelopes and other postal supplies in addition to copy and fax services. It operates Monday–Friday from 9 a.m.– 5 p.m. except on holidays and when the University is closed. Students will receive an email notification when a package arrives in the mail center and must show an Eagle Card or government-issued photo ID before signing for and retrieving the package. Due to limited space, packages
will only be held in the Mail Center for 10 days. If a student does not claim their package in that time, it will be returned to the sender. How to address student mail: Student Name 1801 Fayetteville Street Residence Hall Name and Room Number Durham, NC 27707
