Transfer Credit Regulations
Back
to Admissions
Accreditation
UNCG
accepts the accreditation of the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools Commission on Colleges. Colleges and universities outside North
Carolina must have accreditation from the appropriate regional accrediting
agency for the transfer credit to be accepted.
Nonaccredited Institutions
Applicants from nonaccredited post-secondary institutions must meet
the requirements in effect for admission to the freshman class, including
satisfactory secondary school records and SAT
I scores, as well as meeting the transfer requirements of a 2.0 GPA
average on a 4.0 scale.
Validating Examinations
Some departments at UNCG
require an examination to validate transfer credit. These examinations
are administered by the department or school involved.
Professional
School Admissions
Admission to the University does not constitute selection into any of
the professional schools.
Transfer Credit
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 many four-year NC institutions
and several area universities are also now available on the web at http://transfer-here.uncg.edu
Transfer 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-Plus and
transfer/extension credit may exceed 64 semester hours on the student's
transfer evaluation worksheet.
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 towards 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 thereafter be 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 hours will be applied toward the UNCG
degree. |
