Before we get started, let’s make sure you’re a returning Eagle!

Readmission is for students who were previously admitted to, registered for, and attended a degree-seeking program at North Carolina Central University. If you skipped a term or stopped attending NCCU after completing one or more semesters, you must apply for readmission to return.
