As the COVID-19 pandemic continues into the fall semester with a pivot back to virtual learning, NC State faculty, staff and students must adjust to the changes. Due to recent outbreaks, all fall semester undergraduate classes will move to online instruction beginning Monday, Aug. 24. Although NC State will look different in the coming days, the university will remain open and provide support for the campus community. 

Resources are available to the NC State community during these times, and we urge faculty, staff and students to make use of these.
