Preparing for Aggie Access Upgrade
We are excited to announce that we will be rolling out a new look for Banner Student Self-Service 9, known as Aggie Access! The latest version of Aggie Access will incorporate new features that will include a new Student Profile page with a modern look and feel, making it easier to access important student information. For more information, please visit our Banner Student SSB9 website for more updates.
What does this mean for faculty and students?
· Links to Aggie Access will not change. The layout and navigation will change. Faculty and students will have new features that you will need to navigate through, and we have created training videos to help you with your new experience.
· Fall 2024 New first-time freshman and transfer students will begin to enjoy the new enhancements beginning Fall 2024.
How will this change the user experience?
· Combines important information. All course and organization information – like grades, messages, calendar information – is all consolidated into one global view, the Student Profile, minimizing the time spent navigating into each individual link.
· Only one click away. See something that needs your attention? Just click on it and you will be taken directly there, minimizing clicks and saving time.
· Works well on mobile devices. This navigation is designed to work well regardless of which device is being used.
· Modern, intuitive user experience. Users will enjoy this simple, intuitive, engaging user experience.
In the weeks to come, the Aggie Access Banner Student SSB9 team will be providing demos of the new interface and other resources to help users prepare for this exciting change! We will also be sharing this communication with deans, chairs, faculty and students over the next few days. If you have any questions about the upgrade or if you desire a demonstration, please do not hesitate to let us know.

2024-2025 FAFSA and Aid News
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a critical completion milestone on the college access journey for students and their families. The FAFSA process has changed to implement provisions of the FUTURE Act and the FAFSA Simplification Act. At a high level, the FAFSA changes are a significant overhaul of the FAFSA system, including an updated FAFSA form, need analysis, and provisions to many of the policies and procedures used by schools. The FAFSA determines a student's eligibility for multiple grants and aid for all income levels. Regardless of income, any student who wants to be considered for federal, state, and school financial aid programs is encouraged to complete the FAFSA.
FAFSA News and Aid Resources
-
FAFSA Toolkit: The Financial Aid Toolkit provides federal student aid information and outreach tools for counselors, college access professionals, nonprofit mentors, and other advisors.
-
Students attending North Carolina A&T State University in Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 are encouraged to complete the 2024-2025 FAFSA at www.studentaid.gov. If you have already completed the 2024-2025 FAFSA, you will be notified of your eligibility status between April 15-30.

Students attending N.C. A&T State University in academic year 2024-25 are encouraged to begin researching scholarship opportunities.
Financial Aid Cost of Attendance Survey Request
On March 18, 2024, the University of North Carolina System began surveying students regarding the 2024-2025 Cost of Attendance (COA). The COA is the cornerstone of establishing a student's financial need, as it sets a limit on the total aid that a student may receive for purposes of the Campus-Based TEACH Grant and Direct Loan programs and is one of the basic components of the Pell Grant calculation. Surveys will be emailed to students’ university email addresses. Students are strongly encouraged to complete the COA survey.
Next NC Scholarship (2024-25 Academic Year)
North Carolina residents attending N.C. A&T Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 may be eligible for up to $8,000 in the Next NC Scholarship. For a complete list of requirements, please visit the College of Foundation of North Carolina.

Financial Aid Changing Service Delivery Model, Hours to Better Serve Students
Beginning Friday, March 22, the Office of Financial Aid will change its service delivery model to better serve the North Carolina A&T student body and incoming students.
Financial Aid recognizes that reaching its staff by telephone can be difficult during peak periods. The new “focused” office hours will allow Financial Aid to better serve students in person or by phone and process the high volume of paperwork that flows through Financial Aid daily.
New Schedule (Effective May 22, 2024)
Monday–Thursday
Service by phone and email: 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Walk-in service: 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Appointments: 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

The new operations schedule will enable Financial Aid staff to be more responsive to students by phone more easily during hours focused exclusively on that need. The new schedule will be more beneficial for students who need assistance with questions regarding federal financial aid and scholarship programs.

Laboratory Animal Resource Unit Renovation – Jan. 1, 2023 to Sept. 1, 2024
Suspension of use of Laboratory Animal Resource Unit (LARU). On Sept. 20, 2021, the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (CAES) was awarded a $5.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to renovate and modernize the Laboratory Animal Resource Unit (LARU). Presently, the facility is scheduled to undergo renovation beginning May 2023. During this time, no animals can be housed in the vivarium to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all animals and vivarium personnel.
Effective immediately, grant submissions that require housing laboratory animals between the estimated timeframe of Jan. 1, 2023 – Sept. 1, 2024 should identify alternatives to LARU, as well as budget for the services required, as LARU will not be available. Investigators that currently house animals in LARU and/or were recently approved and funded to conduct animal research, will be provided temporary housing space to continue their research efforts. Further information regarding the relocation of the research animals can be obtained from Andrea Gentry-Apple, DVM, Director of the Laboratory Animal Resource Unit and Paulnisha Granger-Koonce, Administrator for the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee in the Office of Research Compliance and Ethics.

Common Thread Theatre Collective Presents “Fat Ham” on N.C. A&T’s Campus – June 27-30
Common Thread Theatre Collective (CTTC), a collaboration between North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and Davidson College, announces its third season of summer productions. Continuing with a mission to produce theatre by and about traditionally underrepresented communities, this season CTTC will produce the Pulitzer Prize-winning show by North Carolina native James Ijames, “Fat Ham,” directed by Xulee Vanecia J, N.C. A&T theatre professor.
The play is scheduled for June, kicking off its first run at Barber Theatre on Davidson College’s campus in Davidson, North Carolina, followed by its second run at the Paul Robeson Theatre on A&T’s campus – marking the first season CTTC will perform in Greensboro.
Award-winning playwright Ijames reinvents Shakespeare’s masterpiece “Hamlet” as a delectable comedic tragedy. The lead character Juicy is a queer, Southern college kid, already grappling with some serious questions of identity, when the ghost of his father shows up in their backyard, demanding that Juicy avenge his murder. It feels like a familiar story to Juicy, who is well-versed in Hamlet’s woes. What’s different is Juicy, a sensitive and self-aware young Black man, is trying to break the cycles of trauma and violence in service of his own liberation. From an uproarious family barbecue, emerges a compelling examination of love, loss, pain and joy, according to Concord Theatricals.
The performance at N.C. A&T will be held at the Paul Robeson Theatre on the following dates:
Thursday, June 27 at 7:30 p.m.
Friday, June 28 at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, June 29 at 3 and 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, June 30 at 3 p.m.
Tickets can be purchased through commonthreadtheatre.org or at https://www.etix.com/ticket/e/1041940/cttc-2024-davidson-the-barber-theaterdavidson-college
