I want to take a course at another college over the summer, but how will I know if it will transfer?

First, you should know that if you have been declared academically ineligible taking courses elsewhere is NOT a good idea (See Eligibility Information). This is because you cannot raise your UNCW GPA by taking courses at another college.

However, if you are in good standing, taking courses elsewhere can be a good way to get ahead on your Basic Studies or degree requirements. Talk with your academic advisor about your plans and remember to complete a Transient Study Form. This form is available online in SeaPort. Your academic advisor will review it and the Registrar's Office will complete the process by notifying you via email what credit you will be granted at UNCW if you take the proposed course(s). Remember you must have a final transcript sent to UNCW once you complete the course(s) in order to receive credit at UNCW.
