Slate is the application system used by the Graduate School to facilitate graduate admissions. It is designed to simplify the admissions process for both students and departments. This website provides an overview of Slate’s primary functions and in-depth instructions to help you navigate its interface. The Graduate School will be working to improve these materials over time, so please get in touch with us if your department finds that our tutorials or any aspect of Slate could be further clarified. Use your NC State Unity ID credentials to log into Slate at https://applygrad.ncsu.edu/manage/.
