        We hope this format will be more complete, easier for you to access and transfer accurately into your system, and more timely. Here's how to find the information: Log onto the above address, which will take you to the main menu for a by-county breakdown of graduates. Click on the counties within your coverage area, which will bring you to an alphabetical listing of all graduates, followed by their fields of study (a two-or-three letter code; see enclosed description sheet). As always, students who have more than one curriculum listed earned degrees in more than one field.
        If a student's address is not listed under the appropriate county, it is because the student originally established residency in the county listed, but has changed his or her mailing address for grades. You may choose to delete those names.
        If you do not have Internet access or if you experience problems with this new format, please call NC State News Services at (919)515-3470. Following is the lead-in to the graduation list.
