Wrapping up another year! A note from the Department Chair

As we close out 2020, and another fall semester, I hope that you will take some time to rest and relax.  This year, we have all spent a great deal of time looking at our screens.  It is time to "unplug" for a little while - both students and faculty. 

If you are seeking information about the Program, a lot of what you may be interested in can be found on our website (nccuCounseling.com).  If you have questions that are not addressed on the site, please be patient during the winter break.  Faculty will be available again in the first full week of January.

~ Dr. Chadwick Royal, Chair, Department of Allied Professions

Foliotek


North Carolina Central University is switching to a new assessment system (Watermark/Taskstream).  The School of Education will no longer use Foliotek.  We will make information about this new system available as things progress.  For now, you do not need to create or renew a Foliotek account.  You will not need to upload any more documents into the Foliotek system.  Please be assured that faculty will still have access to what you have already uploaded in Foliotek.
