Summer
Session Credits
Approval to be a visiting student at another college and to have the
credits transferred to UNCG
for degree credits must be obtained from the Office of the University
Registrar.
Students
may enroll for no more than 14 semester hours during the entire Summer
Session (two terms) unless permitted to take
an increased load by the Director of Student Academic Services.
Transfer Credit and Credit Limit
The sum total of transfer credit from two-year college(s), extension,
or correspondence courses that may be applied toward an undergraduate
degree may not exceed 64 semester hours. No combination of 2+ and transfer/extension
credit may exceed 64 semester hours on the student's transfer evaluation
worksheet.
Current
UNCG
policy stipulates that courses completed in technical, vocational, or
professional programs at community colleges or courses from technical
colleges or proprietary institutions cannot be accepted in transfer,
unless they are part of a 2+ Articulation Agreement. These agreements
give students with articulated Associate
in Applied Science degrees access only to complementary degrees at UNCG.
Transfer Articulation
Located in the University Registrar's Office, this unit enters transfer
credit coursework into the student's official record. Also, in association
with University faculty, this unit is responsible for determining
how other higher education institution coursework transfers into UNCG.
Students with questions about transfer credit are encouraged to call
the University Registrar's Office and ask for the Transfer Articulation
area (336/334-5946). Transfer equivalencies for courses taken in the
NC Community College system
and several area universities are also now available online at:
www.uncg.edu/reg/transfer/index.html
Extension
or Correspondence Credit
Extension Credit
UNCG
extension credit, earned either on or off campus, will be considered
transfer credit for admission purposes. Up to 64 semester hours in extension
and/or correspondence credits may be applied to completion of work for
an undergraduate degree. Academic departments may establish such course
and credit limitations in acceptance of extension credit as may be required
by specific degree programs.
Although
UNCG
extension credit is treated as transfer credit at the time of admission,
it will be thereafter considered "Residence" credit
for degree certification purposes.
Correspondence Credit
Up to 64 semester hours in correspondence and extension credit may
be applied to the completion of work for an undergraduate degree with
the further stipulation that not more than one-fourth of the requirements
for the degree may be completed in correspondence credit. Academic departments
may establish such course and credit limitations in acceptance of correspondence
credit as may be required by specific degree programs.
Although
UNCG
correspondence credit is treated as transfer credit at the time of admission,
it will be thereafter considered "Residence" credit for degree
certification purposes.
Correspondence
credit earned from institutions other than UNCG
is always treated as transfer credit. It will have no impact on the
UNCG
grade point average. Only credit hours will be applied toward UNCG
degree requirements.
Undergraduate Degree Credit Limit
No more than 168 hours may be attempted
toward an undergraduate degree.
Non-Credit Courses
English 100 and Mathematics 100 are offered for beginning students
who need a transition course between their high school curriculum and
entering the credit course work for a degree. No credit toward graduation
is given for either English 100 or Mathematics
100.
Physical Education Credit Limit Policy
Any University student may take up to eight (8) hours of elective credit
in physical education activity courses to apply toward
graduation.
ROTC Credit
Limit Policy
Elective credit shall not exceed eight (8) semester hours for Army ROTC,
and twelve (12) hours for Air Force ROTC.
