MBA E-Newsletter
News for and about the NC State College of Management MBA community. Submit MBA ENEWS items to Adrienne Jablonski by Friday of each week.
Please remember that the e-newsletter is the MBA Program's primary method of communication with students. Therefore, it is very important for you to read and absorb the weekly e-newsletter.
Welcome New and Returning Students!
The MBA Program staff would like to welcome back returning students and new students. As a reminder, the MBA e-newsletter will be posted at the beginning of each week. If you have anything that you would like to post in the newsletter, please submit the write-up to Adrienne Jablonski by Friday of each week.
Student ID Photos for New Students
The photos taken during orientation will be used for both your student ID card and for the online student directory. After your All-Campus student ID card is made at the Campus ID Card Office (a couple weeks), we will deliver them to your classes.
Your NCSU Email Account
Don't forget that your NC State issued email account (Unity) is where all of your MBA-related communication will sent to.
In addition, your Unity email address is the address that NC State uses for correspondence with you. Email regarding your classes, student information, eBILLs and correspondence from faculty will be sent to your Unity address. To check your Unity email, you can use Webmail or you can use an IMAP-compliant email
client.
This email requirement will overwrite any non-Unity email address you may have as your preferred email address in PackTracks. If you still want to get your university related emails at a non-NCSU address, you will need to forward your Unity email to that other address. To forward your Unity email, please visit the Unity forwarding page.
For more information on the email address information that NC State
maintains, please see: Email Processes at NC State

Summer 2008 Course Schedule
Registration for summer 2008 courses begins on March 11. Please see the schedule below so that you may begin planning your summer classes.
Part-time Tuition Rates at RTP and Main Campus
For the first time this spring semester, returning part-time students may take courses on both the main and RTP campuses. Although our understanding had been that students would pay tuition based on the program (either main campus or RTP) to which they were originally admitted, we have now learned that tuition will be charged by the location of each course. So, for example, if you are registered for one course on main and on course at RTP, you will have two separate charges on your bill: the main campus course charge is billed in groupings of credit hours, the RTP campus course is billed by the credit hour.
Please refer to the attached chart for tuition/fees details. We understand that this change may cause confusion for you and for your employer. The college has raised the issue of two different tuition/fee structures and the problems it causes with university officials in hopes that these differences will be resolved in the near future.
