BSC 303

Transfer Student Transitions

Section: 002

Course Description

This course is intended to facilitate the smooth and successful transition of new transfer students into the Department of Biological Sciences and NC State University community. Students will be challenged to think intentionally about how they will approach engagement and learning at NC State, both in and out of the classroom. Over the course of the semester, students will begin to build connections to their campus community (including their advisor, faculty, staff, and fellow students). They will become familiar with key academic policies, procedures, and resources, and they will develop a plan of coursework through degree completion. Lastly, students will focus on developing skills that will be helpful as they pursue opportunities relevant to their long term career goals.
