Staying Engaged and Connected

Here are some ways to stay engaged and connected with both the university and your students to encourage their success during their time in college.

Prospective Families

Whether this is your first time going through the college search process or if you have been through this before, the change from high school to college life is a big one. In order to make the transition as stress-free as possible, we have provided some resources to help your family and your student in learning about, applying to and enrolling at NC State.

Admitted Families

You’ve been admitted to NC State – now what? Enrolling in college is an exciting step. Once your student has decided to join the Wolfpack, review these resources to assist them in starting their journey.

First-Year Families

For most, the biggest challenge for parents and students is the transition from high school to college. The college transition can change the dynamic for everyone, and while it is an exciting time, it is important to remember that the cycle of transition can stimulate questions and emotions.

Here are some additional resources that we encourage families and students to become familiar with during the first year and beyond.

Current Families

When students join the Wolfpack their families do, too. Recognizing the critical role parents have, NC State proudly embraces parents and families of current students. With intentional programs and efforts designed to provide the information and resources necessary to connect families throughout the student life-cycle, Parents and Families Services nurtures the evolving relationship during this time and partners with parents in student success.
