Second Bryan!
These are updated each month with important campus information!
Spring Final Assessment Schedule
The Spring Final Assessment Schedule has been shared by Academic Programs. Synchronous final assessment blocks are arranged to minimize exam conflicts and to minimize conflicts with the AP Exams scheduled for Friday, May 16. Academic Programs will work directly with students and instructors to resolve those conflicts in the weeks before the end of the semester. As in previous semesters, Academic Programs have indicated deadlines for submitting projects, papers, and take-home exams by academic discipline to ensure that all asynchronous assessments are not due at the same time.
End Of Year Activities
Students who remain on campus May 21 & 22 are invited to enjoy a two day end-of-year celebration that will feature an outdoor field day, glow-in-the-dark kickball, an inflatable water slide, a bounce house, food trucks, sweet treats, and one last Hill Street block party! Please encourage your student to attend these events to help say goodbye to the Class of 2025 and to close out a great school year!
On Second Bryan we will have a trip Falls Lake for seniors, hall superlative awards with cake, and more!
Commencement
Please join us as we graduate our 44th class of residential students on Friday, May 23rd at 9:00am on Watts Lawn. The ceremony is open to NCSSM seniors and their families. We welcome the junior class to participate in Commencement, though junior attendance is not mandatory. No tickets are required UNLESS inclement weather necessitates moving indoors. If Commencement is moved indoors, each senior will receive 4 wristbands: 2 wristbands for guests to attend Commencement in the Charles Eilber Physical Education Center (PEC), and 2 wristbands for guests to watch the Commencement livestream in locations around campus: the Auditorium, Lecture Hall, and Music Suite. If the ceremony is moved indoors, juniors (outside of Marshals and those performing music) will not participate in the ceremony and will move out of their rooms. Juniors and their families will be able to view livestream of Commencement from off campus. As a reminder, all students must move out of their residence hall rooms and check out with their CC no later than 2 p.m. on Commencement day. The entire event will be livestreamed on the NCSSM YouTube Channel. For more information about Commencement please visit: https://www.ncssm.edu/commencement
Move Out
Juniors have already shared when they intend to move out. Juniors who do NOT wish to participate in Commencement exercises must move out of their residence hall and check out with me between 1:00pm and 5:00pm on Wednesday, May 21 and juniors who wish to remain on campus after exams to participate in end-of-year activities and Commencement exercises must move out of their residence hall and check out with me prior to 2:00pm on Friday, May 23.
Seniors must move out of their residence hall and check out with me prior to 2:00pm on Friday, May 23. There is a sign up posted on hall with intended times of move out, including time between 6:30am and 8am before commencement for seniors. This is not a strict move out schedule but a guideline on when to prepare to be ready for check out, I will prioritize students who have packed, cleaned, and are ready to go.
During the week leading up to move out, students will have specific tasks to complete each day to ensure that they will be ready on the day they move out. The Final Week Checklist will be posted on the door of each room and I will check each night. Please note that students will NOT be permitted to attend hall or campus events until I confirm that all tasks have been completed.
Once a student is ready to check out, I will stop by their room and confirm that they have properly followed all Checkout Procedures. Please note that the student and a legal guardian will both need to be present to sign the Room Condition Report to complete the checkout process. Once all checkout procedures have been completed, the student will immediately leave campus. Students who check out prior to Friday, May 23 may return to campus for the Commencement ceremony ONLY and should not return to campus for any other reason.
Senior Leadership Campus Service Update
The Senior Leadership Campus Service process is coming to a close. Senior Leadership announcements will be sent out on Tuesday, April 22 at 4:00pm and applicants will have until Thursday, April 24 to submit their decisions to program coordinators. Please note that the SLSC process does not account for every senior campus service assignment. Juniors should reach out to any employees that they may be interested in working with next year if they chose not to participate in the SLCS process. They can also contact Justin Plummer (plummer@ncssm.edu), Campus Service Coordinator and Associate Director of Student Services, if they have any questions.
This year's hall theme is Hollywood Cinema!
