Connect with your Small Pack Leaders!

All new international graduate students will be assigned to a Small Pack
upon admission to NC State University. The purpose of these Small Packs
is to provide a more personalized orientation experience for you, to help you
meet new friends, and to provide a resource to assist you with your
questions. Your Small Pack consists of other new students whom you will
be meeting at OIS Orientation. Please be sure to remember your Pack
number and Small Pack Leaders (SPLs) names, as you will be divided into
your Small Packs at Orientation. Two SPLs will be be assigned to your
group. If you do not receive an email from your SPLs by the end of July,
please email the Assistant Director for Programs Lauren_Ball@ncsu.edu

Please make sure you are checking your NC State email

account prior to arrival for important information from OIS,
the university, and your department.
Graduate students will receive their Unity ID with their admission letter.
Your email address will be in the following format: YourUnityID@ncsu.edu
Your default password is the last four digits of your Campus ID number
(printed on your Graduate School Admission Letter), plus the four digits of
your birth month and day. For example, if your Campus ID number ends in
1234 and your birthday is January 31, then your initial password is
12340131. Visit the Office of Information Technology's website or see
page 25 for more details about your Unity ID and password.
Please do not hesitate to email your SPLs with questions you may have.
They can answer most questions EXCEPT those pertaining to
immigration or financial aid. For immigration or financial aid
questions, contact OIS directly at ois@ncsu.edu and put Immigration or
Financial Aid in the subject line.

Immigration Information
Steps to Apply
for your Visa

The U.S. Embassies website provides information on

when, how, and what to provide when applying for
the F-1 or J-1 visa at the U.S. Consulate or Embassy.
It also provides links to all U.S. Embassies and
Consulates worldwide.

Step 1: Check your documents; make sure you

check the I-20 or DS-2019 Form carefully to ensure
the information is correct. If you believe there is an
error, please contact OIS directly at ois@ncsu.edu.
Your passport needs to be valid at least 6 months
into the future at all times during the visa
application process and your stay in the United
States.

A valid passport is required to enter and leave the

United States. Additionally, your passport must be
valid for six months into the future at all times
during your study in the U.S. Before being able to
obtain a visa you will need to have a passport valid
for at least 6 months. Take into consideration that
you might need a few weeks to obtain or renew your
passport, please plan accordingly.

Step 2: Pay the SEVIS fee ($180) with the I-901

Form. Make sure to print the conrmation of
payment of this fee; you will need this for your visa
application. For more information and how to pay,
please visit the I-901 Fee processing website.

Please keep in mind that to be granted a

nonimmigrant visa, it may be necessary to prove
your intent to return to your home country after
completing your studies in the U.S. This may be in
the form of a letter of continued employment,
potential employment, possession of property, or
other strong ties to your home country. You can find
additional information on the OIS website.

Step 3: Apply for the F-1 or J-1 visa with the

nearest U.S. Consulate/Embassy. Please refer to
their website for detailed information on which
documents to bring, and when to visit them for
your visa interview. For a list of all Embassies,
please visit the U.S. Embassies website.

Once approved, the visa is stamped into your

passport designating the school you will attend upon
arrival in the U.S.
New international students are permitted to
enter the U.S. up to 30 days before the program
start date (listed on your I-20 or DS-2019 Form).
Do not plan to arrive in the U.S. more than 30 days
before this date or after this date.

Step 4: Review the health insurance

requirements for NC State students.
You MUST have valid health insurance throughout
the duration of your I-20 or DS-2019.

Immigration Information
Add your Local Raleigh SEVIS Address in the MyPack Portal (Student Information System)
As soon as you know your local Raleigh address, even if it is temporary, please update your address in the
MyPack Portal. This is an immigration requirement. All students in F-1 and J-1 status must add their local
SEVIS address information every semester in MyPack. Additionally, all students in F-1 status are required to
update this information or will be considered legally out of status. Please visit the OIS website to learn more
about the local address requirements for maintaining your immigration status.

Add your Emergency Contact Information in the MyPack Portal

In case of a health or safety emergency, OIS may need to contact your family back home. For this reason, it is
extremely important that you provide the name and current contact information for at least one family member.
This information will ONLY be used in the case of a serious health or safety emergency. As regulated by federal
privacy laws (FERPA) that protect students' personal information, the emergency contact you provide will NEVER
be contacted by OIS or NC State in regards to your academic standing (grades), student conduct, immigration or
legal status. Please add your Emergency Contact information in MyPack Portal by clicking on Main Menu>
Student Self Service> Campus Personal Information> Emergency Contacts.

Canadian Citizens

Canadian citizens are not required to obtain an F-1 or J-1 visa; they will be required to pay the SEVIS fee before
requesting admission to the U.S. Please note that this fee cannot be paid at the Port of Entry. At the Port of Entry,
Canadian citizens must present their I-20 or DS-2019 with the proof of SEVIS fee payment.

F-1 and J-1 Transfer Students

If you are currently in F-1 or J-1 status at another US institution, you must take the following actions upon arrival
at NC State to complete the SEVIS I-20 or DS-2019 transfer-in process:
1. Report to OIS for check-in on Friday, August 12 at 12:30 p.m. This check-in session will be held specifically
for transfer students only. Bring your current NC State I-20 or DS-2019 Form, your prior schools I-20 or DS-2019
Form, your passport with visa stamp, and your 1-94 printout.
2. Update NC States MyPack Portal with your local Raleigh address and emergency contact information. Please
log in with your Unity ID and password.
Within 10 days of the start of the semester OIS will confirm your full-time enrollment and register your SEVIS
record. You must be enrolled full-time in order for OIS to complete this process. Within 30 days of the start of the
semester OIS will create a Transfer Complete I-20 or DS-2019 and notify you by e-mail when it's ready to be
picked up.

Change of Status

If you are already in the U.S. in another nonimmigrant status and if you intend to apply for a change of status to
F-1 or J-1, please contact us as soon as possible at (919) 515-2961 or ois@ncsu.edu. It can take four to six
months for a change of visa status to be processed by USCIS. You will have no employment authorization while
you are waiting and may or may not be eligible to enroll in classes.

Immunizations
NC State requires students to complete their
immunization requirements before arriving on campus.
Upon admission to the university, all students have
30 days to submit copies of their immunization
records, complete the Health History form, and the
Tuberculosis Questionnaire online via HealthWeb*

Carefully review the immunization

requirements on the
Student Health Services website.

Next, submit official hard copies of your immunization

records by mail or fax. The records must be officially
translated into English and must have a health care
providers signature, address, and clinic stamp:
Student Health Services (SHS)
2815 Cates Avenue
Campus Box 7304
Raleigh, NC 27695-7304
OR Fax: 1-888-972-4149
In addition to submitting immunization records,
Tuberculosis (TB) tests must be completed by students
from High Risk Countries AFTER you arrive in the
United States. TB tests administered overseas
cannot be accepted! You will have the opportunity to
complete the TB test requirement through NC State's
Student Health Center upon your arrival. (See pg. 14)
If a student does not provide proof of immunization,
North Carolina public law requires NC State
University to drop him or her from all classes.
The re-enrollment fee is $150.
For more information about the International
Student Immunizations Clinics, see page 14.
*Please Note: Student Health Services is in the process
of transferring electronic student health records from
HealthWeb to a new NC State Patient Portal system.
New students should follow the immunization records
instructions listed above until the new system is
available, at which time the process of submitting
immunization records will change slightly. More
information will be provided and the instructions in this
guide will be updated when the new system is available.

Academics
Course Registration
As a new graduate degree student cleared for admission for the Fall 2016
semester, you will need to complete the following checklist to register for
classes. The final deadline for Fall 2016 course registration is August
23rd. However, it is in a students best interest to register as early as
possible to secure a seat in your preferred classes. Classes begin on
Wednesday, August 17th.

1. Contact your academic advisor.

A list of the Directors of Graduate Programs and their emails can be found on
the Graduate School's website.

2. Work with your academic advisor to choose courses for the

fall semester.

Since you may not be able to come to campus before the start of the fall
semester, your advisor will work with you to ensure you can register for courses
prior to your arrival on campus. Each college has a different process for advising
prior to course registration. Your department and/or advisor will inform you of
the policies and procedures for this process when you contact them. Your
advisor will release the advising hold on your account once you finalize a plan,
so you may register for classes.

3. Register for classes on MyPack Portal. Once the advising hold

has been released, you can register through the MyPack Portal using your valid
Unity ID and password. Information on how to determine your login and
password can be found on page on the Office of Information Technology's
website. If you are having difficulty logging in, you can contact the NC State
Help Desk at (919) 515-HELP (4357) or send an email to help@ncsu.edu
Contact your academic advisor if you have questions or concerns about your
class selection. Ask your advisor about what your colleges requirements are
for an in-person meeting once you arrive on campus. Although you will attend
the OIS Orientation, many colleges require you to attend a college-based
meeting to obtain college-specific information.

Additional Resources
Departmental Ambassadors are current international or American graduate
students in your department. If you have a question about your department,
courses, NC State, etc., you can find your Departmental Ambassadors email
address on the OIS website. Please Note: Not every department has a
Departmental Ambassador.
The SPEAK test is for international Teaching Assistants. Departments will
register individual students for this test. Students should contact their
respective departments for their exact time and place of testing.

On-Campus Housing
NC State University Housing is owned and managed by the university. The
cost of on-campus housing is usually comparable to off-campus housing and
comes with several benefits. NC State offers several apartment-style
buildings on campus which are generally better suited for graduate students
than residence halls, where living space is shared. To explore your oncampus housing options, visit University Housing's website.
Convenience: on-campus housing is steps away from your classrooms,
libraries, labs, dining halls, and the gym. There's no need to drive or ride a
bus to campus! Also, residence halls are equipped with community kitchens,
service desks, laundry facilities, computer labs, and lounges.
Transportation: university housing is located on major city and university
bus routes, making transportation to the areas surrounding campus
convenient for students.
Hassel-Free Living: on-campus housing is all-inclusive, meaning your
electricity, water, cable, and internet services are included in the price of
housing which is paid directly to the university. Most university housing is
also "furnished," meaning you don't have to purchase your own furniture.
Community: living on campus will automatically insert you in a residential
community. University housing staff frequently plan special events to foster a
sense of community and encourage their residents connect with their
neighbors.
Application Required: To live on campus you must apply through MyPack
Portal before the deadline. On-campus housing is assigned on a first-come,
first-served basis so it is recommended that you apply as soon as possible if
you want to live on campus.
If you have been assigned to university housing and have questions about
when you can check into your on-campus housing, check University Housing's
website send them an email at housing@ncsu.edu, or call 919-515-2440.

Off-Campus Housing
To find an apartment before you arrive, it is recommended that you consult with
your Small Pack Leaders, ask people in your department, and students from your
home country, OIS Country Contacts, for advice on apartments. Your Small Pack
Leaders have a comprehensive list of on and off-campus residences and will be
happy to provide that information to you.
Many apartment complexes are close together so you can spend a day
comparing apartments. Off-campus housing options include: (a) rooms in private
residences, (b) apartments which can be rented by oneself or (c) apartments
shared by 2 to 4 students depending on the lease options of the apartment
complex. It is reasonable to expect off-campus housing to cost between $250 to
$800 per month, depending on the number of people sharing the expenses which
include monthly rent and utilities (water, sewer, electricity, gas). A signed lease
(contract) and a security deposit, usually one months rent, is also required for
most off-campus housing. In addition, utility companies may require an advance
deposit to activate their services.
If there is a gap between your arrival date and the start date of your lease or if
you prefer to search for an apartment after you arrive in Raleigh, you can find
temporary accommodation on campus through Guest Housing Services or at a
local hotel.

PLEASE READ BEFORE SIGNING A LEASE:

To rent an apartment off campus, you must sign a lease. A
lease is a legally binding contract and is usually required
for a period of 12 months. Leases obligate you to pay rent for
each month of the term of the lease even if you move out
of the apartment.
Lawyers at Student Legal Services are willing to review a
lease before you sign it to make sure everything is in proper
order. This service is offered for free. Please contact Student
Legal Services for questions at
studentlegal@ncsu.edu or visit Student Legal Services'
website for more information.

From August 1st through the 9th,
OIS volunteers will be at the airport to
welcome you to Raleigh. (See pg. 12)
Review the student insurance plan and
decide if you want to use Student Blue,
or choose another approved health
insurance plan. If you fail to waive out,
your account will be charged
accordingly. This fee is separate from
tuition. The deadline to waive out is

OIS will scan these documents into your immigration record and
will return them to you after the check-in session. The check-in
session will last approximately 1 hour, so please plan
accordingly. Because check-in is required by law, you
must stay for the entire duration of the session.
At the time of your check-in, OIS staff will review your rights and
responsibilities as an F-1 or J-1 visa holder. You will also be
provided with materials to help in your initial transition to
Raleigh and NC State. Check-in is done by appointment only, so
you must register for a check-in session.

CLICK HERE TO SCHEDULE AN

OIS CHECK-IN APPOINTMENT
PLEASE NOTE: Registration will not be available until July 1st.
If you have a dependent, we encourage you to bring him or her

required to check in with OIS. OIS provides a separate
check-in session for both J-2 and F-2 spouses that will cover
information specific to their transition to the NC State
community. Email ois@ncsu.edu to schedule a check-in
appointment for dependents.
While other nonimmigrant visa holders should plan to attend
the orientation and will be assigned to a Small Pack, they are
NOT required to attend the OIS Check-in.

Wondering what to bring?

Many items that you may want to bring from home can easily be bought in the
United States. There are many stores and shopping centers a short distance
away from campus. Many foods from your country can be bought in Raleigh too!
A list of ethnic grocery stores can be found on the OIS website.

Clothing
Students in the United States tend to dress informally. Jeans, t-shirts, shorts,
and sweatshirts are all very acceptable to wear around campus and in class. You
may want to bring more formal clothing for special events. A good raincoat or
umbrella is necessary. You will also need a coat for cold weather.

Electrical Items
The U.S. uses 110v electrical current. Many small electrical items like hair dryers
and electric razors are inexpensive in the U.S. and you may wish to purchase
those items when you arrive. If you bring a computer, or other electrical items,
you may buy a simple plug adapter in the U.S.

Linens, Towels, and Toiletries

Bed linens, pillows, blankets, and towels can be purchased inexpensively
in Raleigh. It is recommended that you bring one set of linens and towels
for the first days you are here, then purchase more if you need to. Be sure to
bring enough toiletries with you to last several days in case you're not able to go
to the store for a few days after you arrive.

Medical Items
Make sure that any prescription medications you bring with you are labeled and
are in their original containers. Make sure the name on the containers matches
the name on your passport to avoid any problems when you are entering the U.S.
Please bring a copy of any prescription you will need using the generic name of
the medication in English.

Money
Make sure your ATM card will work in the U.S. before you leave!The Cirrus, Plus,
Mastercard, and Visa systems are the most widely accepted. We recommend you
have access to enough funds to cover immediate expenses like tuition and food.
We recommend you have at least $300 in hard currency in case you need quick
access to cash when you first arrive. You can change your money at a local bank.
There may be a conversion fee at the bank, but it may be less than the fee at the
airport.
10

Raleigh has a pleasant

climate. Spring and Fall are
long and mild, and Winter is
short and not very cold
(relative to many parts of the
U.S). Snow in the Winter is
unusual. Summers are hot
and very humid.

Arriving in the United States

At the Airport (or Port of Entry)

You will be asked to show your documents in the first city in
which you arrive in the United States to be given permission to
enter the country.

Please carry with you (in your carry-on bag, NOT in

your checked baggage):
- Your Passport with F-1 or J-1 visa stamp
- I-20 or DS-2019 Form
- The supporting documentation that you showed to the United
States Embassy to obtain the visa.

You Have Arrived - A short video produced by the U.S. Customs

and Border Protection that explains what to expect at the Port of
Entry. PLEASE NOTE: International students and scholars are not
eligible to use the Global Entry system mentioned in the video.

I-94 Arrival/Departure Record

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has begun a new I-94
process. CBP now gathers travelers arrival/departure information
automatically from their electronic travel records, so paper I-94
forms will only be issued at land border ports of entry (e.g. when
traveling by bus from Canada or Mexico). After you arrive in
Raleigh, check your I-94 record to be sure the information is
correct. If there are any discrepancies, you must notify OIS. More
information about the new I-94 process can be found on the
Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) website.
You must print your new I-94 AFTER arriving in the U.S.
and prior to attending the OIS Check-in. We will need a
copy of your I-94 to complete your check-in process.
Click here to print your I-94.
Also, if you have employment on campus such as a Teaching
Assistantship (TA) or Research Assistantship (RA) your department
will need a copy of the I-94 to complete your hiring paperwork.
Please print multiple copies of the I-94 for these
purposes.

Traveling to
NC State University

Shuttle Information

Location: Raleigh is located in the state of North Carolina

(NC) about 280 miles from Washington D.C.; 400 miles from
Atlanta, Georgia; 500 miles from New York City; and 800
miles from Chicago, Illinois.

The Office of International Services has negotiated the

transportation discounts to increase the affordable
transportation options between RDU International Airport
and NC State residence halls and apartments in the
immediate vicinity of campus.

Airport: the nearest airport is Raleigh-Durham (RDU)

International Airport. It is about 15 miles away from the
university.

These companies are not associated with NC State

and information is provided solely as a courtesy to
new international students. Any use of the
transporation services constitutes an arrangement directly
between a NC State student and their selected
transportation company.

Taxis: a taxi ride from the RDU airport to campus is

around $30-$35. There are several taxi companies in the
Raleigh area that service the airport. Taxis can be found on
the lower level of the airport, directly outside of the
baggage claim area.

Trains and Buses: Amtrak train and Greyhound bus

Reservations must be made prior to your arrival in Raleigh

to guarantee service. Alternate transportation options can
be found on the RDU International Airport
ground transportation webpage.

services are available to Raleigh from various Ports of Entry

into the U.S. The nearest Amtrak train and Greyhound bus
stations are in downtown Raleigh (about 5 minutes by taxi
from the university). Please note that basic safety
precautions need to be taken when at the Raleigh train and
bus stations. Pay attention to your baggage, money, and
personal belongings.

To view the discounted transportation options arranged by

OIS, please visit our website.

OIS Airport Hospitality

Directions to NC State: if you choose to take a taxi or

shuttle from the airport to campus, it's important that you

ask the driver to take you to NC State University, not
the University of North Carolina (that's a different
university in Chapel Hill!)

OIS and our orientation volunteers look forward to

welcoming the new Fall 2016 international students.

Airport Hospitality Volunteers will be stationed at RDU
International Airport from Monday, August 1, 2016 through
Tuesday, August 9, 2016 for flights arriving between 8 a.m.
to 8 p.m.
To ensure appropriate volunteer support, OIS will open an
airport arrival form on the Airport Arrival & Hospitality
page on July 1st to accurately capture the arrival plans of
our Fall 2016 new international students.

Maintaining Status
Maintain Full-Time Enrollment
F-1 and J-1 students must maintain continuous full-time enrollment during the
fall and spring semesters to maintain their lawful nonimmigrant status. The
minimum requirement for graduate students is 9 credit hours for each semester.

Work Only when Authorized

F-1 and J-1 students are allowed to work a maximum of 20 hours per week on
campus while school is in session. (Note: J-1 students must have on-campus
employment authorization in writing from the organization which issued the
SEVIS DS-2019 before they begin such employment). All off-campus employment
for F-1 and J-1 students requires advance written employment authorization.
International students who work without authorization that is, they work more
hours than permitted by law, or without written permission if it is necessary, or
the employment is otherwise not permissible will find themselves in very big
trouble, since the University is required by law to terminate the SEVIS record of
any student who engages in illegal employment.

Always Have a Valid I-20 or DS-2019 Form

The SEVIS I-20 (for F-1 students) and the SEVIS DS-2019 (for J-1 students)
specify a date by which the program of study will be completed. An extension of
program beyond the date mentioned on the I-20 or DS-2019 Form should be
applied for prior to that expiration date.

Review your Rights and Responsibilities

It is very important for nonimmigrant students to understand their legal rights
and responsibilities as well as the requirements for maintaining their lawful
status. Please consult an advisor in our office with any questions. Immigration
information by any other source (friends, OIS volunteers, etc.) is not valid. More
information and procedures are explained in detail on the second page of the I-20
or DS-2019 and during New International Student Orientation and Check-in.

Students Responsibilities
Immediately upon arrival, students must physically report to OIS for check-in to
have their SEVIS records registered. Check-in is done by appointment only.
Enroll for and attend classes.
Maintain full-time enrollment and make normal academic progress towards
completion of program.
Do not engage in unauthorized employment.
Keep your passport valid for at least six months into the future at all times
during your study in the U.S.
Report any changes of address in MyPack within 10 days of the change.
File timely requests for extension of stay, change of status, transfer, Optional
Practical Training (OPT), Curricular Practical Training (CPT), and other benefits.
Obey all state and federal laws including laws regulating domestic disputes,
child endangerment, sexual assault, driving while under the influence of
alcohol or illegal substances, etc.
Read and obey the NC State University Student Code of Conduct.
15

Finances & Employment

Tuition and Fees

Tuition for new international students can be paid after arrival, but must be paid BEFORE August 22nd
for the Fall 2016 semester. This deadline is an extended deadline set up by the Cashiers Office
specifically meant to accommodate new international students who are at NC State for their first
semester. However, we recommend paying your tuition as early as possible. If you do not pay your
tuition by the deadline, your classes will be canceled!

International students can now pay their tuition via wire transfer! Visit the Cashier's Office website for
more details.
Students are billed for tuition and fees by the Cashiers Office. Please visit their website for information
on payment methods. OIS does not handle student accounts. If you have a question about your
account or payment, please contact the Cashiers Office at studentaccounts@ncsu.edu.

Financial Aid and Assistantships

International graduate students may receive aid in the form of teaching assistantships or research
assistantships. Only individual departments may award assistantships. OIS is not involved in the
process of awarding assistantships. For information on assistantships, contact the Director of
Graduate Programs (DGP) for your department.

On-Campus Employment

There are many types of on-campus employment at NC State. Unfortunately, it is competitive, and you
have to contact each department/unit individually after you arrive to learn about their employment
opportunities. You cannot apply to work on campus before you arrive. In the past, international students
have found success looking for employment at the NC State Libraries, University Dining, the Campus
Bookstore, University Recreation, Carmichael Gym (Rec Center), and the Talley Student Union.

Banking

You are strongly encouraged to open a checking account upon arrival in Raleigh. With a checking account,
you will receive a checkbook and usually an ATM card, which allows you to withdraw cash from your
account 24-hours a day. Services and fees vary but most banks in the area offer special Student
Accounts with minimal or very low monthly charges. Be sure to ask about student accounts when you visit
the banks (there are several within walking distance of campus) and have your passport and I-20 or
DS-2019 form with you when you open the account. If you will be bringing a large amount of money with
you at one time, you may also wish to open a savings account. Savings accounts earn interest. Banks also
offer additional services such as loans, credit cards, and safe-deposit boxes at lower cost to students.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SCAMS

OIS has been made aware of a scam targeting international students in which the caller, appearing to
call from 911 or USCIS, demands immediate payment due to a problem with the person's immigration
record. These calls are completely false. No government agency will call you to demand payment
over the phone. No matter who the caller claims to be, do not provide any personal or financial
information to them. For more detailed information about how to protect yourself from scams, please
visit the OIS website.

Health & Wellness

University Recreation
If you enjoy sports and working out, you will enjoy the
Carmichael Gym facility and programs! You can join intramural
sports teams, aerobic classes, club sports, Outdoor Adventures,
and join other student clubs on campus that specialize in
sporting fields (Ski Club, Sailing, etc.).
All students have access to the facilities of the Carmichael
Complex, also referred to as the Rec Center, with their Wolfpack
One Card (Student ID). Carmichael has extensive facilities for
student use, including handball courts, squash courts, weight
rooms, an aerobics studio, a golf room, a fencing room,
basketball and volleyball courts, an indoor jogging track, a
dance studio, a gymnastics area, a rock climbing wall,
swimming pools, a sauna, a steam room, an archery range,
tennis courts, etc.
The Rec Center provides exercise clothes and towels and
lockers for daily use. Lockers can be rented for entire semesters.
The gym also has equipment available for free daily use like
tennis racquet's and balls, basketballs, etc. Students in past
semesters have also taken advantage of the many fitness
classes offered in the fitness center. Some examples of the
fitness classes are the TRX Suspension Training class, cycling
classes, yoga and Pilates classes. To learn more about
recreational facilities, visit the Rec Center's website.

Outdoor Adventures
The Outdoor Adventure program includes activities and
instruction within and around Carmichael Complex. The
adventure trip program reaches far beyond the limits of NC
State to give students an opportunity to participate on a variety
of outdoor trips across the state. Some examples of trips include
rock climbing, canoeing, and backpacking.
If you are looking for a mode of transportation, the WolfWheels
bike-rental program through Outdoor Adventures offers a
unique, innovative approach to sustainable transportation at NC
State University. All students with a valid Wolfpack One Card
are able to rent bicycles on a daily, weekend, weekly or
semester long basis.
For more information about University Recreation's Outdoor
Adventures program, visit their website.

Student Health Insurance

NC State University, along with all public colleges and

universities in the state of North Carolina, is a participant in
the system-wide hard waiver health insurance plan
administered by Student Blue, Inc.

Waiver of NC State
Student Health Insurance
If you do not wish to use the plan administered by Student
Blue, you will need to show that you have another
appropriate insurance policy within 30 days of the start of
classes.

ALL INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO

MAINTAIN HEALTH INSURANCE THROUGHOUT THE
DURATION OF THE I-20 OR DS-2019 FORM.
Read more on the OIS website.
Students must either purchase Student Blue -- the university's
mandatory hard waiver plan -- or waive out of the Student
Blue plan by showing proof of an alternative plan that meets a
set of required criteria. More details can be found on Student
Health Services' website.
For international students this new system-wide requirement
has many benefits which include rates that are 38% lower
than in previous years, better benefits, and easy overlap with
NC State's Student Health Services. International students
can read up-to-date information as applicable to international
students on the OIS website.

Because of visa regulations, international students need

to demonstrate that their current insurance meets the
minimum requirements in order to be considered for a
waiver.
Review the minimum health insurance
requirements for J-1 and F-1 students
on the OIS website.
All waiver requests are submitted electronically through
the NC State University portal with Student Blue (not to
OIS). The deadline to waive out of the Student Blue
plan is September 12th.

As of Fall 2015, Student Blue will no longer offer coverage

options for dependents. Please review and prepare for these
changes in advance and make sure you are maintaining
continual coverage for yourself and your dependents.

Check the Student Blue website for more information.

The GSSP plan for students on Teaching and Research

Assistantships will continue to offer coverage for dependents.

Please note: Students on Teaching and Research

Assistantships will be provided NC State health insurance
through the Graduate Student Support Plan (GSSP) and
will be waived out of the hard waiver plan automatically.

If you fail to waive out of the student insurance plan by

the deadline, your student account will be charged
accordingly.

Note: The Student Blue policy does not cover dental care,
however Student Health Services offers a dental discount
program.
You can read more about the Student Blue Health Plan
enrollment and benefits here on the Blue Cross website.
18

For the Fall 2016 semester, GSSP insurance will be

effective beginning 8/1/2016.
More information about the GSSP can be found on the
Student Health Services' website.

Public Transportation in Raleigh

The university bus line, called the Woline," is free for anyone in the community. The GoTriangle bus is the city bus line,
which students can ride for free after obtaining a GoPass from the University Transportation Ofce. There are several
GoTriangle routes from the NC State campus to most parts of Raleigh. There is also a Triangle Transit Authority
(TTA) bus route that goes from campus to the airport, Durham, and Chapel Hill. If you want to view or track the bus routes so
you don't miss your bus, you can check the Transloc website or download the TransLoc Rider app.

Driving and Car Insurance in the U.S.

If you plan to drive in the U.S., you are permitted to drive with a license issued by your home country for up to 60 days after
your arrival date. After 60 days, you will be required by law to have a North Carolina Driver's License if you wish to continue
driving in the U.S. The International Drivers License is not valid in the state of North Carolina, however it may be
a helpful English translation of a license issued from your home country if it's not in English.
Please Note: When driving in the United States, you must have your driver's license with you at all times.
If you plan to purchase a car in the U.S., it is recommended that you bring a certified letter from your car insurance company
confirming your driving record in your home country. Such a letter might reduce high car insurance rates from American
companies. Purchasing car insurance is a law for all North Carolina drivers. For more information about driving in NC, visit the
Division of Motor Vehicles website.

Cell Phones and Emergency Phone Calls

There are many cell phone companies so do some research to determine which plans are most advantageous for your calling
destination. Some companies include: Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. Most companies want you to sign a 1-2 year
contract (especially if you want a free/cheap phone) and want you to have a Social Security number. If you dont want to sign
a contract or dont have a Social Security number, you can buy pre-paid phone plans and pay for the phone.
For emergencies within the U.S. (i.e. car accident, deep cuts, etc.) the emergency assistance number is 911.
If there is an emergency and you need to quickly reach someone outside of the country, you can contact the international
operator by dialing #00. This service may be a bit expensive but convenient in the case of an emergency.
