Updates

Welcome to NCSSM and 3rd West!

Hello Everyone. I am Alex Currin and  I will be your Community Coordinator this year.  I am reaching out today to share with you several resources that will help you prepare for the transition to NCSSM and life on 3rd West.  I know the transition to NCSSM can be a lot, and I look forward to helping you navigate your time here; it is also my first week at NCSSM and can't wait explore the campus and culture here alongside you!  Please check back here in a few days, as I am working a video tour of the hall that I wills share here !

I want to take a moment to highlight the purpose of this website and all the resources contained within. The hall site has lots of helpful information for you.  On the home page you will see the 3rd West Activities calendar, the School Activities calendar, and the Academic Calendar.   The leadership page of the site includes an introduction to me and an explanation of my role, as well as brief introductions to our amazing team of Residential Life Assistants (RLAs) and their role on hall. There are also pages of resources for both students and families; these are meant to be helpful hubs where you can find reminders of policies and any links you may be looking for.

• Move Out

Juniors who do NOT wish to participate in Commencement must move out of their residence hall and check out with their CC between 12:00pm and 5:00pm on Thursday, May 23. Juniors who wish to remain on campus after exams to participate in end-of-year activities and Commencement must move out of their residence hall and check out with their CC prior to 2:00pm on Saturday, May 25. Due to the many end-of-year activities, staff will NOT be able to move out any students on Friday, May 24. Juniors who have not submitted the following form must do so as soon as possible to inform Student Life of their intended move out date.

During the week leading up to move out, students will have specific tasks to complete each day to ensure that they will be ready on the day they move out. This Final Week Checklist will be posted by each room and will be checked each night by their CC. Please note that students will NOT be permitted to attend hall or campus events until their CC confirms that all tasks have been completed.

Once a student is ready to move out, their CC will stop by their room and confirm that they have properly followed all Checkout Procedures. Please note that the student and a legal guardian will both need to be present to sign the Room Condition Report. Once all checkout procedures have been completed, the student will immediately leave campus. Students may not stay in another student’s room or lounge. Students may only return for the Commencement ceremony, if they choose to do so.

Students and families should review all documents to prepare for move out and consider taking items home over the extended weekend to make this process even easier. Students are also advised to return to campus with boxes to pack their belongings.

• End of Year Activities

Students who remain on campus May 23 & 24 are invited to enjoy a two day end-of-year celebration that will feature an outdoor field day, glow-in-the-dark kickball, inflatable water slide, Time Under the Tents with your favorite NCSSM employees, one last Hill Street block party, as well as food trucks, sweet treats, and more!
