NC Community Colleges

This agreement establishes college transfer courses that are accepted by University of North Carolina Wilmington from all 58 NC community colleges.

Students who complete degree requirements are guaranteed credits earned will transfer to UNC institutions. However, the Office of the Registrar determines the amount of transfer credit for students on an individual basis.

The list of UNC Wilmington equivalents of all transferable courses within the agreement is available from the Transfer Course Equivalents page.

North Carolina Community College transfer students, who have earned an AA or AS degree meeting the requirements of the North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) will receive a waiver of Foundations and Approaches & Perspectives requirements with the exception of PE; foreign language; and 3 credits from Living in Our Diverse Nation or Living in a Global Society.

Students will also receive a waiver of 3 credits each of:

• Writing Intensive
• Information Literacy
• Critical Reasoning

AS and AA degree-holding transfer students will be held to all other University Studies requirements. All other transfer students will be held to University Studies in its entirety, with the exception of First Year Seminar.

Our campus participates in the state of North Carolina's Reverse Transfer program [link to https://www.nccommunitycolleges.edu/students/enrollment-and-registration/university-transfer/reverse-transfer/].

If you have a qualifying degree awarded through this program by a North Carolina Community College, email the Registrar's Office [link to registrar@uncw.edu] to request your UNCW record be updated with your awarded degree. Provide your full name, student ID number, what degree has been awarded and the date it was awarded, and the community college awarding your degree.

University Studies includes both lower division general education components and graduation requirements related to the major.

Lower division general education components of University Studies include:

• Approaches
• Perspectives

Only 3 credits of Living in Our Global Society or Living in Our Diverse Nation may apply as lower division credit as follows:

Note that other credit meeting University Studies requirements may transfer on a course-by-course basis and some courses may be exempted by specific agreements. For example, the lifetime wellness and foreign language requirements by the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (PDF).
