New Graduate Student Orientation
Fall 2026 New Graduate Student Orientation will be held in-person at the McKimmon Center on August 14. Students with the last name of A-L will attend the morning session from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. Students with the last name of M-Z will attend the afternoon session from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m.
The Information Fair will be from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. and is open to all incoming students.
All newly enrolled graduate students will receive an email with full details in June. The following students DO NOT attend in-person orientation and, therefore, will not get the email: MBA, MAC, distance, and certificate students.
A separate email will be sent in August with details of the asynchronous online portion of new student orientation. The asynchronous online portion is open to ALL graduate students and is not available until August 15.

It’s been an amazing @ncstate Day of Giving and we want to finish strong. Hear from Dr. Rhonda Sutton, Assistant Dean for Professional Development on why supporting graduate education and the array of professional development programs within the Graduate School help prepare our #GradPack beyond the classroom.
"Make your bark?" 🐶 Excuse us, we meant "Make your mark." As we enter the 6-8 p.m. Pack Pets Challenge, we want to thank our colleagues Raj and Greg for sharing this photo of their family pets Leo and J.B. @ncstate #GivingPack 🐺📍
