Student Resources

For students participating in summer internships seeking course credit, paperwork for the internship must be submitted to Dr. Russ by May 1.

Keep an eye on weekly emails that are sent out from the ABM Undergraduate Programs Office. We always feature job/internship opportunities. Additionally, check in with the Coordinator of Advising for help with preparing to apply to and seeking internships. You can use ePACK and CALS Career Services as additional resources.

ABM students begin their advising with the Coordinator of Advising for 1-2 years, then are assigned a faculty advisor who is an expert in the area of their desired career. While students are only required to meet with their advisors once per semester for registration purposes, we encourage students to cultivate a relationship that can help you network and grow as a student.

To switch a class to credit only before the deadline, navigate to your schedule in the Enrollment Wizard. Using the “Edit” feature, change the grading basis to “Sat/Unsat”. Keep in mind that the only courses that ABM majors can take as credit-only are PE and free electives. A grade of C- of higher is required for satisfactory (S).

If you want to change your course from Credit to Credit-Only after the deadline, you will need to complete a Schedule Revision request in MyPack Portal. You must have extenuating circumstances that explain why you want to change the grading method and they must meet certain criteria as outlined by CALS Academic Programs. They may request additional information or paperwork prior to approval and approval is not guaranteed.  Extenuating circumstances must exist to justify a change to credit-only after the drop/revision deadline.

Contact Robin Clements to discuss this if you have missed the deadline.

You can find your booklist by logging into MyPack Portal and following this pathway to determine books required for courses.

Student Homepage > Planning & Enrollment > Class Schedule > View My Books (bottom left)

Your pop up blocker will need to be disabled to view your books, as the button opens a new webpage for the NCSU Bookstore.

If you receive an error that states you’ve taken a class over the allowed number of times, but you know you did not finish the class or did not earn credit (D- or higher), you need to complete a Schedule Revision request in MyPack Portal.

Some courses required by the ABM degree are housed in the Poole College of Management (PCOM). Thus, they control when ABM students can enroll for those courses and provide a timeline for each registration period. Make a note in your planner so that you can register for the classes you need in PCOM on the date registration opens for ABM majors and minors.

You can drop the class yourself in MyPack Portal as long as you are not dropping below 12 credit hours. Go to the Enrollment Wizard, visit the course you plan to drop, and click the box under “Drop”. Then, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the red bar “Drop”. You will receive a “W” and the class will not show on your transcript if you drop on or before the Census Date.

Initiate a course drop in this time frame via a Schedule Revision request in MyPack Portal.

Initiate a course drop in this time frame with a Schedule Revision request in MyPack Portal and Supplemental Data Form (completed by the instructor). Documentation for your unforeseen medical, psychological, or dire personal/family hardship situation will also be required and you must meet certain standards for drop approval at this late date. You cannot drop a class at this date and beyond for the following reasons:

• I am doing poorly in the course
• The instructor told me I could/should drop the course
• I work too much to make the course a priority
• I don’t like how the course is taught/I don’t like the instructor
• I just learned that I don’t need this course for my degree
• I am transferring to another university
• My GPA needs to stay high
• Any other reason that is not medical, psychological, or dire personal/family hardship

1. Attend a session at the Study Abroad Office to determine programs of interest.
2. Once you’ve applied to Study Abroad, your advisor can approve courses.
   • At times, your advisor may defer to the Coordinator of Advising to handle the paperwork.
   • Do not take classes at an international campus that have not been approved by ABM.

Plan to study abroad in your sophomore year or the first semester of your junior year for maximum credit opportunities.

As long as courses transfer to your degree plan, you can study anywhere there is a program already established. However, ABM does offer specific study abroad trips – usually in the summer. Contact the Study Abroad Office to learn about these uniquely tailored programs.

In order to determine whether you should enroll in MA 107 or MA 121, you must take the math placement test. Take this test even if you anticipate college credit or AP/IB credit for math placement as those credits may take time to post. If your college or test credit comes into NC State and places you into a higher class than the math placement test, we can enroll you in an alternate course at that time. If you have trouble with the test, please contact the Coordinator of Advising. We advise you to study for the placement test and suggest you use Kahn Academy online as a resource.

Students who wish to transition into the ABM major should first set up an appointment with the Undergraduate Teaching Coordinator to discuss the transition and classes to take to ensure admission to the program. Students can find CODA requirements online with deadlines for each CODA cycle.
