CSC Undergraduate Academic Advising

Pre-Registration Advising Planning

This page contains instructions for having the advising hold removed as well as Tips for Enrollment.

Registration and Records has put a Term Advisement Required hold on each student’s account. This is not a cause for concern. An appointment is NOT required to have the hold released. Your CSC Academic Advisors are now available for pre-registration advising planning for Summer and Fall 2025. Please read this page, in its entirety, very carefully.

An individual enrollment date and time has been placed on your account and the enrollment wizard and shopping cart for Fall 2025 will be active soon. Please note: academic advisors do not set your registration date nor can they adjust that date. Pre-registration advising planning forms will be due on the following days:

  • March 7:
    • CSC students graduating in Summer or Fall 2025
    • CSC students with an enrollment date of March 28
  • March 17:
    • Current CSC BS students
    • Current CSC students who wish to change their major to something else
  • March 21:
    • Current EFY CSC Intent students
    • Prospective CSC majors (not currently EFY CSC Intent or CSC BS)
    • Current/Prospective CP Minor students
  1. Review your “enrollment begins” date in your Student Center on MyPack
  2. Add a “what if” degree audit for your intended new major to see all the categories you still need to complete
  3. Consider how your schedule will need to be adjusted for the next few semesters
  4. Complete the Change of Major form (link below)

A CSC advisor will get you the correct contact information so you can be advised by the appropriate department. Once you have met with that person, they should send the CSC advising team an email so that we can then remove your advising hold.

If your current advisors are listed as Ms. Marini, Mrs. Hamilton, Mr. Kelsey, and/or Dr. Weinberg – this form is for you.

Current CSC Majors and EFY CSC Intent students planning to stay in CSC should first:
  1. Review your “enrollment begins” date in your Student Center on MyPack
  2. Review your degree audit for categories you still need to complete
  3. Review the semester display for the degree plan you intend to pursue: 
  4. Review the enrollment wizard (if available) to plan for Summer and the next semester
  5. Complete the Current students form (listed below)

Once you’ve submitted the form, a CSC Academic Advisor will review your proposed schedule, respond with recommendations via email, and will let you know when your advising hold has been released.

The CSC Advising Team will make every effort to advise you and release your hold within 24 hours of your individual enrollment date. Forms are responded to in order of enrollment date NOT by date received.

Many of the questions you may have about your schedule will be answered in our email response to your form submission. For unanswered questions about your schedule or anything else, we are always happy to meet with you virtually during our drop-in, no appointment needed, office hours or by appointment. During the pre-registration advising period, please try to attend drop-in hours if possible, as priority for appointment slots may be needed for students who have urgent and critical concerns that transcend enrollment questions. Please review go.ncsu.edu/cscadvising for more information.

If your current advisor is NOT a CSC academic advisor or you are considering/in the Computer Programming minor – this form is for you.

Prospective CSC Majors / Current or Prospective CP Minors:

If you are planning to change your major to CSC, add CSC as a second major, or add/continue in the Computer Programming minor please first:

  2. Review your degree audit for categories you still need to complete
  3. Review the semester display for the degree plan you intend to pursue:

The CSC Advising Team will make every effort to advise you and email your advisor so they may release your hold within 24 hours of your individual enrollment date.

Once you’ve submitted the form, a CSC Academic Advisor will review your proposed schedule and respond with recommendations via email, as well as copying your current advisor so they may release your advisement hold.

Tips for Enrollment

  • When adding a class to your cart for the first time, carefully review any pop up information.
  • Review the notes in the enrollment wizard by hovering over the class.
  • Check out https://my.csc.ncsu.edu/undergrad-advising/registration-tools/ for information about:
    • How to contact the department offering the course if you need assistance enrolling 
    • Information on reserved/restricted/available CSC electives
    • How to “swap to waitlist” and many more helpful features of the enrollment wizard
  • Always enroll in available classes/sections; you can adjust your selections later after you’ve been able to speak with an advisor.
  • Join a waitlist if you can, as you’ll be enrolled first when a seat becomes available. You cannot be enrolled in over 18 hours, including waitlisted classes.
  • CLOSED means a class is full, as is the waitlist (if applicable). You likely cannot be added to a closed class, but keep looking for an opening on the waitlist.

As always, further questions or concerns are always welcome via email or during drop-in, no appointment needed, no notice needed, Zoom office hours (my.csc.ncsu.edu/undergrad-advising) no matter the topic you wish to discuss.
