NCSSM Durham Prom
The Prom Committee is excited to extend an invitation to all residential students to join us for a night at Prom in Wonderland 2026. Prom will occur on April 11th from 8pm-12am at the Museum of Life and Science in Durham. Most students on campus attend Prom, and students are allowed to bring guests as dates from other schools by purchasing a ticket under their guest’s name. Visit the Prom Website for details about the event, how to purchase tickets, important forms, transportation options, and more!
Each year, the Prom Committee invites NCSSM families to participate in the festivities by volunteering the night of Prom at the Museum of Life and Science. There are many opportunities to be involved, from helping out with set up, to organizing the coat check, to serving appetizers, desserts, and drinks, to directing students throughout the museum, and of course the dash to clean everything up and pack it away in record time at the end of the night. Even if you can’t join us at the museum for prom night, you have the opportunity to purchase desserts for students to enjoy! For more information about volunteering at Prom, be on the lookout for an email from Janine Brumfield in the coming weeks for signups!
In keeping with tradition, Student Life will also host an After Prom event for students to enjoy late night pizza in the PEC after prom ends. Additional details about the event and how to participate will be shared with students in future communications.
As you and your student make plans for Prom 2026, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Prom Coordinators at prom@ncssm.edu with any questions.
Move Out
Juniors and Seniors will receive an email with information concerning move-out in April. In the meantime, best practice is to start evaluating which items you may be able to take home over Spring Break and the upcoming extended weekend. The more items you can get home over our final extended weekends of the year, the easier move-out will be for you. Good items to consider taking home are winter coats and clothes, extra furniture, and large items
Residence Halls Closing & Opening: Spring Break coming up
As students prepare for fall break it is important to understand that we use a special sign out for these weekends away from NCSSM:
Halls close at 5pm Thursday, February 26th. Halls will reopen at noon Sunday, March 1st.
Halls close at Friday, March 27th at 5:00pm. Halls will reopen on Monday, April 6th at noon
For Spring Break, students must unplug all items in their room, including fridges. Students should properly defrost their fridge to avoid puddles or mold growth over the break.
As always, CCs will confirm that all students have submitted an Orah pass at their weekly hall meeting. On this pass, students should indicate where they are going for the break, who they are traveling with, and how they are getting to their location.
If a student is not departing early, is not returning to campus late, is not taking a train or Greyhound bus home, and their final destination is home or they are being picked-up by a parent/guardian, they do not need to sign out at Bryan Desk (this only applies to extended weekends).
If a student is departing before the Extended Weekend begins or returning to campus late they will need to have a parent/guardian sign them out at Bryan desk or submit an overnight pass on Orah and sign out at Bryan desk with whomever is picking them up.
If a student's final destination is not home and they are not being picked up by a parent/guardian, or if they are taking the train or Greyhound bus, they will need to submit an overnight pass on Orah and sign out at the Bryan desk
This year's hall theme is Tangled!
