Transferring Credits to UNCG
This information is for admitted UNCG online students who are taking classes elsewhere to cover UNCG degree requirements. If you are a new transfer student interested in the BLS program, please contact us at 336-334-4977 or see our main website.
All Students
Transfer Information Pages:
- UNC Friday Center for Continuing Education (online & self-paced classes)
- North Carolina Community College System (online & on-campus classes)
- College Level Examination Program (CLEP) (credit by examination)
Transfer Credit Equivalencies:
- Search All Colleges and Universities (historical list; not comprehensive)
Transfer Credit Form:
Fill out and submit a Transfer Credit Form for the courses you are planning to take. These forms will be evaluated by the University Registrar's Office and a copy will be sent to you, informing you of the transfer equivalencies of the courses you are taking.
Send Transcripts:
We recommend you send a transcript at the end of each term or self-paced course, even if you are planning to take additional courses from the same institution. That way your courses show up on your UNCG degree evaluation. You can see that they have been articulated as expected, and avoid any nasty surprises when you're planning to graduate.
- Send official transcripts to:
UNCG Registrar
P.O. Box 26170
Greensboro, NC 27402-6170.
Minimum Grade of C:
Only coursework with a grade of C or above will transfer to UNCG. Courses with a grade of C- or below will not transfer.
Maximum of 64 Credits from 2-year Schools:
UNCG will only accept a total of 64 credits from 2-year schools toward the 122-credit minimum for graduation. Additional courses will transfer to meet degree requirements, but the credits themselves will not transfer.
Transfer Credit Waivers of GEC Markers:
Transfer credit waivers for Writing Intensive, Speaking Intensive, and Global requirements do not apply to continuing students. These waivers are only applicable with initial transfer credit, before you begin classes at UNCG.
Petitioning Transfer Credit
When to Petition Transfer Credit:
If you have transfer credits that should reasonably meet UNCG's General Education Core requirements but have only been accepted as elective credit ("Courses Not Used Elsewhere"), you may petition the transfer articulation personnel to reexamine them.
Do not make frivolous petitions! Research the requirements you are petitioning (for example, studio drawing classes don't meet the GFA), and only petition courses that may reasonably meet requirements you need. Do not petition requirements you have already met.
How to Petition Transfer Credit:
- Fill out the GEC/AULER/CLER Petition for Transfer Credit.
- Fill in all Student Identification and Contact Information.
- 1st Major is Special Programs.
- Fill in all Course Information.
- Use the original course number, not the transfer equivalent.
- Leave AULER/CLER Requirements blank.
- Select the requirement from GEC/GEC+CAR Requirements.
- If you have the original course description, include it in Other Comments.
- Press Submit Petition Form Now.
- Repeat the entire form for each class you are petitioning.
Inactive Graduating Students
If you are completing the last of your degree requirements elsewhere:
Do not apply for readmission through the admissions office if you will not be taking any more classes at UNCG. Simply log on to UNCGenie and apply to graduate under the Registration menu (if that doesn't work, contact the registrar's office). Make sure your personal information and address are up to date!
The deadline to apply for graduation is usually at the end of the first week of the semester. If you are applying to graduate in May, you should apply in January, during the first week of Spring semester.
