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 7 hours during each of the two
summer sessions, unless permitted to take an increased load by the
Director of Student Academic Services.
Transfer Credit Limit
The sum total of transfer credit from two-year college(s)
that may be applied toward an undergraduate degree may not exceed
64 semester hours.
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 Plus articulation agreement.
These agreements give students with articulated Associate in Applied
Science degrees access only to complementary degrees at UNCG.
Transfer Credit Limit
The sum total of transfer credit from two-year college(s)
that may be applied toward an undergraduate degree may not exceed
64 semester hours.
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 available on the web 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.
