Happy New Year!



The spring semester is set to being next week, Monday, January 11th. 

  • Take a moment to login to BANNER and verify your schedule.  Make sure that you are registered for the courses you intend to take this spring.  
  • Double-check whether you are registered for "synchronous" or "asynchronous" classes.
    • Synchronous classes have everyone in the class meeting online at the same time.  If a class is synchronous, BANNER will indicate what day and time you will be expected to login.  Your first class will be held the week of January 11th, on whatever day is indicated on the Banner schedule.
    • Asynchronous classes do not typically require that everyone be online at the same time.  If a class is asynchronous, BANNER will not indicate a meeting day and will show "12:00am-12:01am" as the meeting time.  Please note that asynchronous classes will begin at 12:01am on Monday, January 11.  
  • Be sure that you have your required texts and course materials by the time your class begins.  Check the program website for the textbook list.
  • Review the spring schedule/key dates, and spend some time making sure that your personal calendar contains all of the necessary notes and notifications.

We have two new faculty members joining us this spring! Drs. Helen Lupton-Smith and Alexandra Beckwith.  Be on the lookout for postings on our website and social media accounts introducing them.

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.
