  1. LSFY Fall Enrollment Guide Click here to get started. NC State UNIVERSITY You are here: Enrollment Guide title slide

  2. Getting Started • This guide will help you select courses for your first semester in LSFY. However, before beginning this guide, if you already know that you want to pursue a major OUTSIDE of LSFY, please contact Undergraduate Admissions BY June 1st and request to be moved to that program. • You must complete the math and chemistry placement tests before starting this guide – to ensure your hold is lifted have these done NO LATER than May 31st. • You will select fall courses, including Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Life Science courses. Most students will take 15-16 total credit hours during fall semester. • AP scores are addressed in this guide, but IB scores are not. Email an advisor with questions regarding IB credit. • If you are an Early College graduate, navigate all the way through the Guide and take the survey at the end. Early college graduates should also send an unofficial transcript to lifesciencesfy@ncsu.edu. • This guide will NOT keep track of your course selections.Use the Enrollment Check Sheet to record the courses you select. • You must use slide show for this guide. Use the links at the bottom of each page or within the text of the slide to navigate through this guide. Arrow keys will not work. Next You are here: Getting Started 1 of 2

  3. Getting Started, cont. • Navigate all the way to the end to the slide titled “Final Thoughts.” • Once you are (almost) done, you will take a short survey. Students who complete the survey and have taken both the chemistry and math placement tests will have their advising hold released on June 3rd. Advising holds prevent you from enrolling in classes; you can not enroll until the hold is lifted by an advisor. The enrollment window (first date you may enroll in classes) for incoming first year students will open June 3rd. • Please use the links at the bottom of each page oroptions within the text of the slide to navigate through the course selection guide. If you previously worked through this guide and are returning to finish your enrollment planning, you can jump to: ChemistryMathLSC/HESEnrolling Start with Biology You are here: Getting Started 2 of 2

  4. Biology START • First, you will choose your biology course. • Do you have AP or transfer credit for Biology? Yes, I have AP or transfer credit for Biology. AP Biology test scores of 4 or 5 result in NC State credit for BIO 181 and BIO 183. No, I do not have AP or transfer credit. You are here: Biology Start

  5. Biology • If you have AP or transfer credit for BIO 181 and 183, you have several options (in no particular order): • Option 4: Take ENG 101. This is a first-year requirement for students at NC State. Please note, seats in ENG 101 may become available later this summer. • Option 5: Take a course specific to a discipline in which you are interested. Examples include: • GN 301 Genetics in Human Affairs • NTR 301 Introduction to Nutrition Science • PB 250 Plant Biology* • ZO 250 Animal Anatomy & Physiology* (especially for students interested in Zoology or Animal Science) • ANT 251 Physical Anthropology • PCC 274 Introduction to Forensic Science • ZO 410 (especially for students interested in Zoology) • ANS 230 (for students planning for Vet School) • *If the course has BIO181 and/or 183 as a pre-requisite, contact the LSFY advisors to learn how to enroll. Option 1: Though you have credit, you may still wish to take BIO 181 or 183 (and lab) as a refresher. If you are interested in this option, please email us. Option 2: Interested in Undergraduate Research? Take BIO 267. Note, this is the first course in a 2-semester sequence. If you enroll in BIO 267 in the fall, you will also enroll in BIO 269 in the spring. Option 3:Take a course that fulfills a General Education Program (GEP) requirement. You can use the “Enrollment Wizard” to search for GEP courses. FYI courses, which have small class sizes, are a good option to consider. If you have questions, email the LSFY advisors at LifeSciencesFY@ncsu.edu to discuss class options. Return to Biology StartGo to Chemistry next You are here: Biology, yes AP/TR credit

  6. Biology • If you do not have AP or transfer credit for Biology, then you should take: • BIO 181 Introductory Biology: Ecology, Evolution, and Biodiversity (4 cr) • Choose the lecture with the corresponding lab that best fits your schedule. • DO NOT ENROLL IN AN ONLINE SECTION. Return to Biology StartGo to Chemistry next You are here: Biology, no AP/TR credit

  7. Chemistry start • Have you taken the NC State Chemistry Placement Test? • Even if you expect to receive AP, IB, or transfer credit for chemistry, the NC State chemistry placement test is required as you cannot enroll without it. AP, IB or transfer credit typically will not process until July. • The score for the Chemistry Placement Test processes within 24-48 hours, and you can enroll in chemistry courses much faster than waiting on other scores. Final placement will be determined by your highest score; if appropriate, you can change your course selection later this summer. • Take me to the placement test. Return to Biology StartGo to Chemistry next

  8. Chemistry START • Next, you will choose your chemistry course. • Do you have transfer or AP credit for Chemistry? Yes, I have AP or transfer credit for Chemistry. Select your score below. My AP score was a 3. My AP score was a 4 or 5. If you have transfer credit from another institution, email LifeSciencesFY@ncsu.eduto see if your transcript has arrived and credit awarded. No, I do not have AP or transfer credit. Return to BiologyReturn to Chemistry Start You are here: Chemistry, AP/TR credit question

  9. chemistry • If you have an AP Chemistry score of 3, then you will receive credit for: • CH 101: Chemistry – A Quantitative Science • and CH 102: General Chemistry Laboratory • This is the first chemistry course (lecture and lab) in the sequence for Life Sciences majors. • Email the LSFY advisors at LifeSciencesFY@ncsu.edu to discuss your options for chemistry (or other) classes to take this fall.

  37. Optional IN FallHES (formerly PE) • All NC State students are required to take one 100-level Health & Exercise Studies (HES) course and one additional HES course as part of graduation requirements. • You may take HES courses in any order (i.e., you don’t have to take a 100-level HES course before a higher level HES course). • Many students choose to take their health courses for credit only. Health courses taken for credit only will still count towards your degree requirements. Please read this page for more information on the credit only policy at NC State. Contact an advisor if you still have questions. • Choose several possible HES courses, since the popular ones fill quickly. • HES courses in different categories have different course prefixes, but those listed below will meet the HES requirements. HESM and HESE courses will NOT meet this requirement. • HESAHESDHESFHESOHESRHESSHEST Go to Enrolling next You are here: HES

  39. Mypack portal • YOUare responsible for enrolling in classes each semester, including this Fall. To learn the system, watch the MyPack overview on YouTube prior to searching for and enrolling in classes. You can review additional tutorials below: • Enrolling into a Course • Enrollment Wizard Tutorial • Swapping, Editing and Dropping Courses • Swapping to Waitlisted Courses • Note: the videos might look a bit different than your MyPack but the information is still applicable. If you prefer written instructions, view this written explanation for enrollment. • You must complete the short survey at the end of this enrollment guide, and both the math and chemistry placement tests, to be able to enroll in classes. Once you submit the survey, your hold will be released by 8 am on June 3rdfor enrollment that day IF your survey and placement tests are all completed by May 31stat noon. Surveys and placement tests completed after May 31stat noonwill be released within 24-48 business hours Monday through Friday. • The enrollment window for fall opens for incoming students on June 3rd. • This is the first day incoming students can enroll for fall classes – AND you can only do so if your hold has been released. Go to Advising next
