Pre-Transfer Advising

To receive an estimated credit evaluation, please attach your unofficial transcripts when you schedule your appointment or email them to transfercenter@charlotte.edu at least two business days before your appointment.

An unofficial transcript is a copy of your academic record that shows your completed courses and grades. It can usually be downloaded from your student portal and doesn’t require a formal request or official seal.

Students who provide their unofficial transcripts can expect to receive a general education and pre-major credit estimation, as well as a review of University and major admissions requirements, plus course recommendations to complete prior to transferring to Charlotte.

49er Next: Special admission program with specific NC community colleges

First Year / Early College: students who have not enrolled at a college/university after graduating high school. Many first-year students have college credits, but these were taken while the student was still in high school 

Transfer Student: students who have enrolled at a college/university after graduating from high school

Second Degree: students who have already earned a Bachelor’s degree and are now pursuing a second Bachelor’s degree

Since our team focuses on general education and pre-major requirements, we are not able to provide an exact graduation timeline for prospective students, as many factors impact degree completion. Many majors provide a plan of study that prospective students can review for a best guess for future courses.

Yes – however, our team will only be able to provide general information in your appointment unless we receive your unofficial transcripts at least two business days prior to your session. 

If you wish to receive a credit estimation, want to know how your credits will transfer in, or understand which courses you should take in an upcoming semester prior to transfer, please provide your transcripts when making an appointment.

Our team is happy to help students who have been accepted into Charlotte but have not yet made the decision to enroll with a better understanding of their transfer credits. 

If you have already submitted your intent to enroll and need to meet with an Advisor to register for classes, you’ll need to follow the Next Steps through New Student Orientation. Our team is not able to remove advising holds.
