Transfer Students

We understand the unique journey of transfer students. Please review University resources here and available prospective transfer student visit options here. Reach out to cals_recruiting@ncsu.edu with specific questions and we’ll do our best to share the right resource.

High School Freshman

We find that students get the most out of a CALS-specific visit once they have this general background. To begin your college search, we encourage all prospective students to first attend a general campus admissions information session and tour. Think of it as an essential “University 101” to learn about campus life and applications. Register here.

New Admitted Students

We look forward to celebrating your achievement at our Howling with CALS or at the Experience NC State events designed for admitted students. Check your WolfPAW for opportunities and to register.

If you are still finalizing your application or haven’t received a decision just yet, we are here for you too. Please reach out to our team so we can discuss ways for you to engage with the CALS community and explore the options available to you this spring.
