FAQ
What are the date and hours for advising? Do I need an appointment?
Your advisor posts their hours on the Undergrad Portal here. They offer a mix of appointments and drop-in hours. The advising team is located in EB2 3006.
How do I choose senior elective courses?
The ECE Undergraduate Choosing Electives page can serve as a guide to help you with choosing electives. The ECE Course Catalog can give some description of the courses but feel free to reach out to instructors as well for more detailed information. There are a few example syllabi located here.
How do I get into an ECE course that requires CODA but I plan to CODA this semester or how do I get into an ECE course when MyPack doesn’t read the pre-req credit for the course because the pre-req has been waived, substituted or I am taking the credit at another institution?
For students who haven’t CODA’d yet, reach out to your EFY advisor to see how to possibly get enrolled in your desired course. For students who have CODA’d but have pre-req credit that has been waived, substituted or are taking it elsewhere, complete the ECE Course Override Form.
I think I have credit for a course that I took elsewhere but it isn’t showing up in my degree audit.
If it is a course that you think counts towards an ECE course, then reach out to your advisor. If it is not an ECE course, contact the College of Engineering (engineering@ncsu.edu).

NC State only accepts official transcripts, which are transcripts still in unopened envelopes that were sealed by the issuing institution or sent electronically via a recognized transcript delivery service such as Naviance/Docufide, Scrip-Safe, Avow, National Student Clearinghouse or Parchment. Transcripts sent electronically through secure sending services need to be sent to undergrad-admissions@ncsu.edu (National Student Clearinghouse users should select North Carolina State University for the recipient school, do not order by only using an email address.)
