A Few Notes For
Your Application
§
If you took the
DE classes, make sure you list NC State as another college you attended – you
do not need to request transcripts from NC State.
§
If you check yes
to any of the background questions, make sure you supply a very complete
explanation. Also, count on your application being delayed. If in doubt, mark
yes. You do not want to have something show up on a background check that you
do not mark here.
§
Make sure you
note the courses you will be taking before you transfer. These are the courses
that will not be on your transcript. For example, if you fill out the application
during Christmas break, your transcript will have your fall classes on it. So,
you need to list the classes you will take during the spring and first term
summer.
