Viewing and Modifying Your Schedule
Your 2009 Fall Semester class schedule is available online via MyPack Portal. Please review your schedule to ensure you are enrolled for the correct courses. If you do not plan to attend NC State University this semester, you must drop all of your courses prior to the first day of the semester (August 19, 2009) in order to avoid further financial and academic obligations.
If you need to modify your schedule, you may do so using MyPack Portal. Please refer to the University Cashier's website for information about schedule modification and tuition calculation.
If you have trouble accessing MyPack Portal or have forgotten your Unity ID and password, please contact the Information Technology Division Help Desk at (919) 515-HELP (4357).

FERPA and Privacy
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) gives students certain rights to privacy and rights of access to their educational records. The university defines certain directory information to be publicly accessible unless you have a privacy block on your records. Privacy blocks can be created through MyPack Portal using the Privacy Settings feature under Personal Info.
