Hello Students,

This month the Library Co-Curricular Spotlight Topic celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! In 1968, President Lyndon Johnson signed in Hispanic Heritage Month “and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15” (https://hispanicheritagemonth.gov/about/).  Hispanic Heritage celebrates “the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South American” (https://hispanicheritagemonth.gov/about/).

Please visit our NC Library Moodle Course to review articles, videos,  and test your knowledge of what you learned. Please feel free to swing by NC's Library to review the books, books we have curated to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.

Dear NC students,

We are excited to continue upgrading several of our systems to bring you enhanced services. Soon, NC will be upgrading our student information systems, commonly known to the NC community as Webadvisor. Effective on 9/21/2023 (Thursday), when visiting the Webadvisor website\link in Moodle, you will be redirected to our new platform (Orbund SIS), upon landing on this page, please click on the (Role) option and select (Student) from the dropdown menu, then, click on (Sign in with Microsoft). You can begin to use your NC student email (username@st.nc.edu) as your login user ID and the same password you are currently using to sign into Moodle, Teams, NC-email etc. This change will also intergrade Microsoft MFA, (Multi-factor authentication) to your Webadvisor\Orbund SIS account, where you will find the usual student schedule\class enrollment information and more. This upgrade\change will have no downtime or impact on your daily activities or other online platforms such as Teams\email\Office365 etc.
