Step 1: Apply for Admission to NC State University as a Post-Baccalaureate Student<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Note: If you are a degree- or non-degree-seeking student who has been continuously enrolled, you may register for available online courses through\u00a0MyPack portal<\/a>.<\/em>\u00a0Only students admitted to NC State can take classes at the University. Anyone interested in taking courses without enrolling in a degree program at NC State must first apply as a\u00a0Non-Degree Studies (NDS)<\/a>\u00a0student. Admission to NDS does not imply admission to an NC State degree program. NDS students are classified as non-degree-seeking. Grades earned as an NDS student will go toward the student\u2019s NC State University grade point average or may be transferred to another institution based on that institution\u2019s transfer policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Post-Baccalaureate Studies (PBS) classification<\/strong> is assigned to those NDS students who have earned a bachelor\u2019s degree. Enrolling as a PBS student is an excellent way to explore different fields of study to fulfill your personal and career goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an NDS student, you may register for a maximum course load of eight (8) hours per semester on a space-available basis. Some courses carry prerequisites or are limited to degree-seeking students, so review the course schedule to determine your eligibility. NDS students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
