1. How can I become a member of the FAMU Section of NCNW?

 

• We accept new members every semester! If you're interested in joining our section please attend an informational meeting.

• If you are unable to attend the informational meeting contact us to receive the information and application. 

 

2. What if I am unable to meet the deadline for turning in my application, can I still join?

 

• Unfortunately, if you are unable to turn in your application at the given date and time then you will have to wait until the next intake to join. However, you can allow someone else to turn your application in for you and you may even be able to contact a member of the executive board to make prior arrangements if their schedule permits. 

 

3. Can I send my application in via email?

 

• No. We are only accepting applications by hand, however, if there is a conflict you may contact the Vice President 1 who is over membership to make prior arrangements. 

 

4. Does my community service hours have to be on my transcript?

5. Does my community service have to be hours that I've gotten through an organization on FAMU's campus and do they have to be recent?
