Transfer Planning
Planning to transfer to UNC Charlotte? The University Transfer Center provides tools to help you better understand how your coursework may fit into your transfer plan. Transfer Guides and the Transfer Credit Advisor can help you explore course options, review previously evaluated transfer credit, and make more informed decisions before you apply.
Using Transfer Guides
The Transfer Guides have been developed to help NC Community College (NCCC) transfer students select meaningful coursework at the community college that aligns with their intended major at UNC Charlotte. The Transfer Guides are one of the main tools the University Transfer Center uses to help NCCC students make their transfer plans to Charlotte. Each major department, in collaboration, has created and reviewed each guide, thinking about the students’ best interests.
To create an effective transfer plan using the Transfer Guides, students should:
- Work with an academic advisor at their community college and connect with the university contact listed on each Transfer Guide as questions arise.
- Ensure they are using the most up-to-date Transfer Guide by reviewing the academic year and revision date published on each Transfer Guide (Transfer Guides are updated annually)
Note: Some information on the Transfer Guides may not apply to students transferring prior to associate degree completion and/or dual-enrolled high school students. These students are encouraged to speak with their community college advisor and intended university for more information and guidance on NCCC course selection.
USING THE TRANSFER CREDIT ADVISOR
The Transfer Credit Advisor displays information about courses that have previously been evaluated for transfer credit at UNC Charlotte from institutions across the country. The database is updated daily as new transcripts are reviewed, making it a helpful tool for students who want to better understand how their credits may transfer to Charlotte. Upon admission, students receive an official evaluation of their course credits.
To use the Transfer Credit Advisor effectively, students should:
- Search for their current or previous institution to review how courses have transferred to UNC Charlotte in the past.
- Use the tool as a planning resource to better understand how completed coursework may apply at Charlotte.
- Keep in mind that transfer equivalencies shown in the database are based on previous evaluations and may not represent an official transfer credit decision.
Note: If you are transferring from a North Carolina community college, the list of courses is comprehensive. If you are transferring from a college or university outside of North Carolina, the database may not include all courses, as new evaluations are continuously added.
