Students can transfer credits into UNC Greensboro through courses taken at regionally accredited institutions and/or placement tests. In order for the credits to transfer, you must have earned a minimum of a C in the course. In most circumstances, these credits will count toward the student’s degree. UNC Greensboro has a team that reviews transfer credits and translates them to their UNCG equivalents. This process is called articulation. Our Undergraduate Admissions Office has a dedicated team of Transfer Advising Specialists who are available to help you every step of the way toward completing your degree.
Future students not yet admitted to UNCG or current students who are exploring courses at other institutions should use the UNCG Transfer Credit Planner to understand how their credits will translate toward a UNCG degree. If you’re transferring from a North Carolina Community College you can utilize the state’s Comprehensive Articulation Agreement. More information on how your credits may transfer can be found below.
Completed your AA or AS degree from a North Carolina public community college: If you have at least a 2.0 GPA and a grade of “C” or better in all transferable courses, you will receive at least 60 semester hours of academic credit upon admission to UNC Greensboro. This means you will have fulfilled the university’s lower-division general education requirements. (Certain UNCG degree programs may have additional requirements or prerequisites.) This is part of the state’s Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) policy.
Completed an AAS degree: Your credits will transfer on a course-by-course basis unless your degree is covered by a specific 2Plus program. These 2Plus programs are specifically negotiated agreements between UNC Greensboro and certain NC community colleges. Degree options include early childhood education and nursing degrees at UNCG.
If you have an in-progress AA or AS degree from an NC community college with at least 16 completed credits, consider the Reverse Transfer program. This allows you to earn your associate degree while completing courses for your 4-year degree at UNCG. For more details about Reverse Transfer, contact our office.
You may transfer up to 64 credits from a community college and an unlimited number of credits from an accredited, 4-year university. Your credits will transfer on a course-by-course basis. Check your institution and coursework on the Transfer Equivalency Search website to get an idea of which courses will transfer.
