Sounds to me like NCSLT dismissed it before trial themselves, which a plaintiff can generally do. It does not mean they will come back and try again, but it also doesnt mean they wont. The student loan shell game has been happening for a while now, and it's basically the same scam that has happened in the mortgage industry, with a notable difference--people seem to have had far better luck defending against student loan suits than against foreclosures. The same basic principles of promissory notes often apply but for some reason the courts allowed the banks to get away with a ton of shady stuff.
That being said, there are some things you need to be aware of.
1--NCSLT is in hot water with the CFPB as we speak. CFPB issued a consent order against NCSLT in June 2020. It would appear that all 800,000 student loans in the trusts are to be audited, and if any are found to be deficient in paperwork and/or proof of claim, then NCSLT is prohibited from suing OR collecting on those accounts.

2--Depending on the specifics of your situation, it is probably more likely that the debt was not dropped, just the lawsuit. NCSLT is actually not one trust, but a group of 15 trusts that basically only exist on paper. They have no actual employees, they hire debt collectors to service the accounts for them. If you did not move for dismissal, then most likely the plaintiff dismissed its own suit. I would check the records of the case at your court clerk's office, you should be able to see how it came to be dismissed.
