Registration Procedures
Registration is conducted on-line through the university's TRACS system. To gain access, you need a UNITY NCSU computer account and a Personal Identification Number (PIN). Your advisor will provide your PIN during your advising session. Such consultations may be via email for students who are not residing in Raleigh or are otherwise unable to come to campus. Complete details about how to use the TRACS system, registration deadlines, and payment of fees are all posted on the TRACS pages of the Registration and Records Web Site: http://www.ncsu.edu/registrar/
As you select classes for each semester, it is perfectly acceptable to ask a professor to see a syllabus and reading list for a certain course. In many cases, such syllabi are posted online. In addition, during pre-registration, the English Department Course Sampler is available on-line and it contains more detailed course descriptions than those in the graduate catalog or on the TRACS web sites. Each description is prepared by the professor teaching the course the following semester and indicates the general approach to be taken as well as the work expected of students.
