Nearly 60 percent of transfer students in the UNC System transfer from the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS). Whether you have earned an associate degree or have simply taken some courses at a North Carolina community college, many of the credits you have earned may count toward a four-year degree from a UNC System university. Course planning support from community college advisors and university university transfer counselors can help you complete your four-year degree efficiently and affordably.

The UNC System has transfer admissions processes and requirements for students who have completed college coursework after high school graduation. These requirements vary, so students should review specific university general transfer and major-specific admissions criteria, as well as university transfer policies and procedures. While this can feel overwhelming, there are established transfer pathways across the state designed to help students make a seamless transition.
