Welcome to the Wolfpack family! At NC State, we view the relationship we have with our students’

parents and families as a partnership; one created to help students be successful. It is our goal to

nurture that relationship by keeping you well-informed, because we sincerely believe that when you

are informed, your student will benefit.

WELCOME TO THE WOLFPACK

We are delighted that your student has chosen NC State.

Our exceptional Wolfpack community makes NC State

great, and we know that your family will strengthen it

further. Over the next few years, your student will be

immersed in the world-class instruction and innovation

for which NC State and the Research Triangle are known.

As a university, we work to provide all students with the

resources and support to create a foundation for success.

We are proud to offer our students a great variety of

educational opportunities, allowing them to gain real-world

experience, recognize their potential and discover how they

can make an impact – whether through participating in honors

and scholars programs, understanding of global perspectives

during study abroad programs or tackling real-world

challenges through hands-on research. Students can also be

involved in an exceptional variety of co-curricular activities

and on-campus programming including pre-professional

organizations, intramural sports and opportunities for service.

Embodying the Think and Do spirit, NC State students stand

apart as creative, critical thinkers.

NC State produces national scholars and fellows, and

our graduates are consistently ranked among the most

desirable in the nation. Our alumni contribute more

than $4.2 billion to the state economy each year. From

launching businesses to producing new technologies, they

are changing the world in meaningful ways. No matter

what your student’s goal may be, at NC State, we help

make it a reality.

Our students’ success is built on a longstanding tradition

of educational excellence as well as a productive

partnership between families and the university. We know

that you are not only an advocate for your student but also

a source of encouragement and support.

We want to ensure that you have the necessary resources

to be well informed and involved. Parents’ Orientation is

a significant first step to helping your student achieve a

smooth transition into college. The Office of Parents and

Families Services provides a variety of resources to help

keep you connected to all things NC State. I hope you

find this calendar and handbook a useful reference for

information about dates, events, academics and student

life on campus.

We are genuinely excited to have your family join us. Welcome

to our tradition-rich, vibrant, diverse community. I wish you

and your student the best as we start the academic year

together and embark on a bright future.

Sincerely,

W. Randolph Woodson

Chancellor

MyPack Portal is the online student information

system used by NC State students to access

all of their academic records, enrollment and

degree planning tools, student accounts, personal

information, on-campus living information and more.

Students can securely access MyPack Portal using

their Unity ID and password.

Under FERPA, students also have the option to grant

parent/guardian access to see certain information in

MyPack Portal including Student Accounts/Billing/

Payment, Tax Information, Academic Information,

Directory Information and Financial Aid.

Students can grant parent/guardian access by

navigating to MyPack Portal Student Homepage

Personal Information Parent/Guardian Access.

More information about using MyPack Portal

and parent/guardian access is available online at

studentservices.ncsu.edu.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

(FERPA) is a federal law and set of regulations

governing the access to, and privacy of, educational

records. FERPA gives students access to most of

their academic records as well as the ability to

obtain copies of these records. This law states

that student records are private and may only

be disclosed to school officials, other authorized

personnel or with the consent of the student. This

law also allows colleges and universities to publish

directory information without consent unless a

student chooses to block their information.

NC State has made it easy for students to grant

consent to parents or guardians so that they

may access educational records or financial

information through MyPack Portal in the student

information system.

01 Congratulations, and welcome to the Wolfpack Family!Congratulations, and welcome to the Wolfpack Family!

I. ALL-ACCESS PACK PARENT

Hello, Pack Parents!

My name is Mike Massing, and I would like to take this

opportunity to welcome you to the Pack and the amazing

journey you and your student will experience these next

four years! As the parent of one alumnus and two current

students at NC State, our journey has been one of tremendous

pride, both for our children and of belonging to such a great

university!

When my son Jake chose NC State in 2015 and we first

stepped onto campus, we quickly got a sense of the size of

the university and the sheer number of students that go here.

However, within that size is an amazing personal approach

within each college that made Jake feel very comfortable!

He often remarked about the one-on-one conversations with

faculty members within the College of Natural Resources.

Because of this, he was able to build many relationships with

fellow students, as a good portion of his classes contained

20-30 students.

My middle daughter Jena transferred into NC State as a

sophomore after playing softball for one year at a smaller,

private university. She is in the Poole College of Management

and loves it for the same reasons that Jake loves the College of

Natural Resources. In addition, students in the Poole College of

Management are well recognized for their academic excellence

and track record of student success as future business leaders!

This is what drew Jena to the program.

My youngest daughter Julia, our freshman at NC State, was

accepted at other well-known universities but choose this

university...not out of peer pressure...but because she saw

the experience that her two siblings had and wanted that for

herself as well! Though she has visited them on campus MANY

times, she has etched out her own path and LOVES NC State’s

College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

This brings me to my main topic for you. Being an active part

of NC State starts with taking advantage of what the Office of

Parents and Families Services has to offer. For instance, one

of the first things we did with Jake, and every year after that,

was go to the Parents and Families Weekend pre-game event

and football game! What a blast we have had every year!

From the food, to the “swag,” to just meeting other families

as we tailgate; nothing gets you more into the full swing of

campus events than this! We have invited aunts, uncles and

grandparents over the years and they have loved each event!

We attended the Memorial Belltower tour during Jake’s

senior year, as well as the tour of Reynolds Coliseum this

past year. Both were led by Dr. Stafford, who is one of the

most passionate historians I have ever heard speak about the

university. Goosebumps; I tell you! Especially when you hear

about and see memorabilia of all who have walked these halls!

In addition we have participated in many events on campus

like the Chocolate Festival and “Paint with the Pack” all brought

to you by Parents and Families Services!

Go Pack!

Sincerely,

Mike Massing, Proud Pack Parent

02 Pack Parent Pack Parent Benefit ProgramsBenefit Programs

The Office of Parents and Families Services nurtures the

partnership of parents, students and the university by

encouraging parents to become more involved and informed

about life at NC State. Your student’s success is dependent

on your support and engagement. By partnering with us

and supporting your student, you are part of the Wolfpack

community and a very important parent.

For this reason, the Office of Parents and Families Services

has worked hard to create benefit programs exclusively for

Pack Parents. Our Parent Pride Points program was developed

in collaboration with Student Government and the Student

Alumni Association to provide opportunities for parents and

students to experience some of the richest Wolfpack traditions

NC State has to offer. The VIP (Very Important Parent) discount

program offers local and online discounts. Our newest

program, Pack Family Regions, was created with our out-

of-state families in mind, and helps parents create Wolfpack

networks all over the United States. So whether you are near

or far, Pack Families can feel connected and engaged with one

another. (See right for more details about Pack Family Regions

and the VIP discount program.)

Remember: Parents and Families Services is supportive of all

family members of NC State students and considers all to

be Pack Parents. All affiliated programs are open to anyone in

the student’s family and all are invited, as well as encouraged,

to participate.

When your student joins the Wolfpack, you do too!

Whether you are near or far, we want to keep you

connected with the NC State community; one that

extends far and wide. For this reason, we have

developed a regional program to help our families

engage with the University and each other. With

nearly 24,000 undergraduate students, NC State has

students from every county in North Carolina and

almost every state in the country! Chances are, there

is another Pack Family in your region.

With eight regions across the United States, all groups

are voluntary and the only requirement is that you

have an NC State student, either currently enrolled or a

recent graduate. Pack Parents can sign-up easily online

and we will email all regions in the fall and spring

semesters with news, upcoming events, need-to-know

information, and shared contact lists (with permission)

specific to each region.

Whether it is a send-off right before the next

semester begins, a luncheon to connect and check-

in, ride-shares or a welcome home dinner during

breaks, we want Pack Families everywhere to get to

know one another and share their Wolfpack pride.

to prepare students for society through a values-based

fraternal experience. Focusing on Chapter Services, Council

and Community Development and the Living/Learning

Experience, the Department of Fraternity and Sorority Life

Chapter Services

The fraternity/sorority community at NC State is comprised

of 50+ men’s and women’s organizations including over 3,000

students representing more than 13% of undergraduates at

sorority community. The Interfraternity Council is comprised

of men’s organizations, while the Panhellenic Association is

comprised of women’s organizations. The Multicultural Greek

Council organizations honor specific cultural traditions. The

National Pan-Hellenic Council is comprised of historically

African American fraternities and sororities.

Living/Learning Experience

Greek Village serves as the hub to all members of FSL

organizations, providing a place to break bread, host

philanthropy events, facilitate member activities and

much more. Chapter Resident Directors live on site to

Study AbroadStudy AbroadStudy Abroad allows students to develop 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, studying 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 over half a million dollars

per year in study abroad scholarships, there are many other

financial resources available in support of study abroad.

The Study Abroad Office supports students throughout the

process from initial interest to their return to campus.

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 a 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

A Special Message to A Special Message to Pack FamiliesPack FamiliesNC State has a Responsible Behavior Initiative. As part of its

mission, the education provided for students emphasizes

responsibility to oneself and the community. Talk with your

student about decision making, expectations and general

best practices for personal safety.

Here are a few tips to highlight:

Be aware of surroundings when walking at night

Communicate any suspicious activity with an RA or

university administrator

Do not give out access codes for residence halls

Do not leave items unattended at any time

Do not prop doors open

Do not walk with headphones in

Keep the door to your residence hall room locked at

all times

Lock your vehicle

Remain in well-lit areas

Report lost keys immediately

Students are required to register bicycles with

NC State University Transportation (free of charge)

Take responsibility for personal safety and security

Emergency PreparednessEmergency PreparednessEmergency planning and preparedness are key to

minimizing impact from an unplanned event. For our

students, NC State encourages them to make a plan!

Pack a bag!

Be Pack Ready!

Have a communication plan in place with your student so

you both know how you would communicate in the event

of an emergency on campus. Keep in mind that, without

charge, cell phone batteries will go dead, so be sure to keep

emergency phone numbers written down should you need

assistance. Consider where you would go if an emergency

strikes and you have to leave your home. A personal

emergency plan should have alternate locations in case

your home is impacted.

Pack a Bag!

We recommend being ready to move quickly with an

emergency kit (bag) and have the following supplies

readily available in residence halls, apartments, homes

and offices for the first 24 hours of an event or until

normal conditions return:

At least 1 gallon of drinking water

Blankets or sleeping bag

First aid kit

Flashlight with batteries

Food for pets

Non-perishable food and can opener

Prescription medications and eyeglasses

More resources for Pack Ready Emergency Planning can be

found online at go.ncsu.edu/packready.

their cell phone with safety alerts. The message will be brief

and contain safety instructions or details they need to know

immediately. This service is only for students, and your

student should verify their contact number in MyPack Portal.
