Summer School

Summer session 1 and the dual summer session are underway. The second summer session is set to begin on June 29 - and will run through the month of July.

If you are taking any classes this summer, it is recommended that you review the textbook list. Go ahead and attempt to get your textbooks BEFORE your class begins. Summer classes move very quickly, and you do not want for class to start and not have your book(s).

Summer Session 1: May 23 - June 26
Summer Session 2: June 29 - July 28
Dual Session: May 23 - July 28

As you have probably heard, NCCU is changing "learning management systems", also known as LMSs. We are changing from Blackboard to Canvas.

Some instructors have been piloting Canvas over the last academic year, so some students may already have some familiarity with Canvas.

All classes offered during the dual summer session period will be delivered via Canvas - and all courses offered during the second summer session (and later) will delivered via Canvas.

Summer session 1: Blackboard or Canvas
Summer session 2: Canvas
Dual summer session: Canvas
Fall 2023 (and beyond): Canvas

Some Reminders from Dr. Blount, the Field Placement Coordinator:

Fall 2023 MOA deadline date: Friday, July 14, 2023
Special request deadline date: Monday, June 12, 2023

Dr. Robert Horne

On June 30, 2023, Dr. Robert Horne's status as a full-time faculty member with the NCCU Counseling Program will draw to a close. Dr. Horne has served as a valued member of our faculty since 2015. The faculty celebrated Dr. Horne with a luncheon in May (pictured above). We wish him well as he transitions into the next phase of his life.

Although Dr. Horne may no longer be a full-time faculty member, he will continue to teach as an adjunct professor within the Program - sharing his wealth of knowledge and experience.
