Alcohol and Other Drugs Prevention

The mission of the Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Prevention Education program is to create and sustain a caring community that prepares students to succeed academically, professionally, and personally as well as to become informed, engaged, and productive citizens by reducing the potential unwanted results of substance misuse.

Parents and caregivers have the best chance to prevent harmful alcohol and other drug use by their young adults if they talk to them about it before going to college, especially the summer before! It may not seem like they are listening, but they are! So, please converse with them about alcohol and other drugs. At NC State, we continuously develop our program to keep your young adult safe, and we pledge to partner with you in reducing the negative consequences that can come from drinking. Even though about 77% of NC State undergraduates drink safely or don’t drink at all, one bad night can change everything. Our goal is to support non-drinking students to continue to abstain, educate students choosing to drink to do so in a way that reduces harm, support high-risk drinkers wanting to reduce or stop drinking, and support students in recovery.

To learn more about AOD, please visit prevention.dasa.ncsu.edu/aod.

Student Ombuds Services

What is “Ombuds?”

A guide for conflict management, prevention and resolution. The Ombuds provides an informal, confidential, impartial and independent source of assistance for students to help them navigate their university experience.

A Student Ombuds advocates for fair processes, working to empower the student to successfully navigate the institution to address challenges and identify resources. In short, if a student — or a student’s family has a unique situation and doesn’t know where to turn for support, direction or an understanding “ear,” contact Student Ombuds Services (S.O.S.) to explore options and next steps. 

Students may come to S.O.S. for a variety of reasons. Student Ombuds Services serves as the first point of contact for students experiencing food, housing, and/or financial insecurity and helps connect students to available resources if they experience an unexpected financial challenge.

Sometimes students simply want to talk. Some are reluctant to go through formal channels. Others don’t know where else to go, and some have tried other ways to get help, but haven’t found what they need.

If you are not sure whether S.O.S. can help, please contact us, no matter how big or small your student’s concern may be. All conversations are voluntary, confidential and free.

Study Abroad

Study Abroad allows students to develop the skills required to face the grand challenges of society — it deepens intercultural sensitivity, challenges participants to think more critically and creatively, and broadens both personal and academic perspectives. It teaches independence, flexibility and the ability to deal with ambiguity.

Study Abroad students distinguish themselves from their peers by developing these skills and engaging in a unique learning environment abroad.

Student participants fulfill major, minor and general education program requirements abroad. For all majors, with academic planning, study abroad does not delay graduation at NC State.

Early planning will help to ensure that students are able to take advantage of the funding available and ensure progress toward graduation. Students are eligible to receive financial aid (including loans, grants and scholarships) for the cost of any study abroad program.

Semester exchange programs provide the most economical option for most students since standard tuition and fees keep the cost of a semester abroad comparable to a semester on campus at NC State. In addition to nearly half a million dollars in study abroad scholarships, there are many other financial resources available in support of studying abroad.

The Study Abroad Office supports students throughout the process from initial interest to their return to campus. We look forward to working with your students and hope that you will encourage them to contact us.

Transportation

NC State Transportation offers students a variety of options to meet their diverse transportation and parking needs. Transportation manages the sale of parking permits and parking facilities. Wolfline, the University’s transit system, connects the three campuses and the surrounding area.

Several alternative transportation options are available including GoPass, which is available for a minimal handling fee to students and allows them to ride both the city and regional buses fare-free.
