Pre-Registration Advising Planning

A term advisement hold has been placed on all student accounts by Registration and Records. This is not a cause for concern. An appointment is NOT required to have the hold released. Your CSC Academic Advisors are available for pre-registration advising planning for Spring and Summer 2025. Please note: academic advisors do not set your registration date nor can they adjust that date.

The current majors form is already overdue for all students. It can still be submitted late, your patience is appreciated as we get through all submitted forms.

  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

Then, please fill out the Spring/Summer 2025 Changing OUT of CSC form by October 25th in order to ensure timely advisement.

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 us an email so that we can then remove your advising hold.

If your current advisors are listed as Ms. Marini, Mrs. Hamilton, Mx. Riddell, 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: CSC (no concentration)Artificial Intelligence concentrationGame Development concentration, or Cybersecurity concentration
  4. Review the enrollment wizard (if available) to plan for Spring and Summer 2023

Then, please fill out the (Current Majors) Spring/Summer 2025 Pre-Registration Advising Planning form by the appropriate date listed above to ensure timely advisement.

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.

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.
