A graduate student must be in good academic standing (3.0 GPA or better) to be eligible for loans, fellowships, or appointment to an assistantship and must be registered for each semester in which aid is received. The number of credit hours which a TA may carry is limited by the Graduate School: 1/3 time is limited to 9 hours and 1/4 and 1/5 time to 12 hours.

Graduate students may qualify for various loan programs administered by the NCSU Financial Aid Office, located at 2005 Harris Hall, NCSU Box 7302, telephone 515-2421 and 515-2448. You may also explore Financial Aid opportunities through the following website:
