Potential Impact of Covid-19
Currently, the Summer Start program is planning to move forward with an in-person format for summer 2022. NC State returned to normal operations for the fall 2021 semester and is continuing to monitor current trends of COVID-19 infections throughout our city and state. Should the decision be made to change these plans in response to COVID-19, New Student Programs will communicate with students as soon as information is available.
