Dear Counselor Education Students,
Welcome back for the 2016-17 academic year! I trust that you had a good and productive summer. There are some key dates and tasks that you need to focus upon depending on where you are in your plan of study. The forms mentioned in the key dates are located on our program website (www.nccucounseling.com) on the student page and at http://www.nccu.edu/soe/gradforms.cfm.
Please note that all spring and summer Foliotek documents should be uploaded into Foliotek by September 9, 2016.
Have a great semester!
Dr. Whiting
