There's no other class ring like it in the world.

The NC State Class Ring Collection was designed for our university in 2005 by a committee of students, alumni, faculty and staff. Its distinctive features capture NC State through symbols you’re sure to recognize—no matter when you graduated.

• The Alumni Memorial Bell Tower is supported by 19 bricks, representing the first class to graduate.
• The North Carolina motto, "esse quam videri" ("to be rather than to seem"), speaks to our solutions-based role as a land-grant institution.
• The open doors of Holladay Hall welcome new students and returning alumni.
• A proud pack of wolves lunge in front of the university mace.
• Twenty-one bricks represent the first class to enroll.
• The Block-S logo tops the traditional-style and signet rings, encircled by the name and founding date of the university.
• Your college is identified in a banner on your ring.
• As an alumnus, you wear the ring with the university name facing outward. As a student, you wear it with the university name facing inward until you’re instructed to turn it at commencement.
• As a student with 60 hours and junior status, you are eligible to receive your class ring at a semiannual ceremony at the Park Alumni Center. The rings are stored overnight in the Alumni Memorial Bell Tower, symbolically connecting them to campus and to other ring-wearers. Watch a video about the class ring tradition »
  

The NC State Class Ring is a testament to your success as a student and your pride and loyalty as an alumnus. It’s not a piece of jewelry destined to sit in a box.  It’s meant to be worn with pride—to show the world you are Red & White for Life.

Alumni and qualifying students can purchase the class ring online anytime at www.ncsu.edu/classring or at the NC State Bookstores at the start of each semester.
