Students who are new to the Raleigh campus will need to submit a copy of their medical history and immunization records. Campus Health’s website has more information on this process. Do not email any of these records to the GTI.

• All students must complete their Health History form, the Tuberculosis Questionnaire, and submit copies of their immunization records (translated into English) online via HealthyPack Portal.
• North Carolina law requires that you submit proof of your immunizations to Campus Healthbefore arriving on campus:
• Some students may also be required to complete a Tuberculosis screening when they first arrive on campus.
• Students who do not complete their health records requirements will be dropped from all registered courses and lose access to NC State facilities and services. There’s a $150 reinstatement fee if you choose to resolve these issues after your student account has been suspended.

MyPack Portal is a student self-service system through which students may change personal or academic information as well as semester schedules from any computer with internet access.

• Contact your departmental advisor to discuss what courses to take and how to enroll in the classes if there are prerequisites or other restrictions.
• Search our course catalog for classes you would like to register for each semester.
• Maintain a minimum of 12 credit hours at all times (undergraduates) or a minimum of 9 credit hours (graduates).
• You will automatically be enrolled in the GTI 401 course, so make sure your other courses do not conflict with that schedule.
• You can also edit/access your student information and update your address in MyPack.
