Well-qualified
students with 30 academic semester hours or more of college credit
from a regionally accredited institution are encouraged to transfer
to UNCG to continue their studies. A student who has college credit
totaling fewer than 30 semester hours from a regionally accredited
institution is designated a "freshman-transfer" and must
meet requirements under both transfer and freshman admissions programs.
Applicants may also refer to: Former (returning)
UNCG students, or Nontraditional Adult students.
Requirements and Procedures
Transfer students must have a 2.0 or better average on a
4.0 scale on all previous work attempted and on all transferable course
work from a regionally accredited college or university. Grade point
averages are recalculated to determine admissibility. Transfer students
must be in good standing and eligible to return to their last attended
institution.
For transfer students, the priority deadline for submitting the application
is March 1 for fall and November 1 for the spring semester. Final
deadlines for transfer applicants are August 1 for fall and December
1 for spring.
Transfer students are required to submit:
1. UNCG application forms showing true and complete information.
2. Official transcript from the secondary school attended. Transfer
students must present 15 acceptable units of credit from an accredited
secondary school. See required secondary school
units. Transfer students not meeting this requirement should refer
to the section on entrance deficiencies.
3. Official transcripts from each postsecondary institution previously
attended (including summer school and extension).
4. A list of courses in progress including course number, course
name, and semester/quarter hours of credit.
5. An application fee, currently $35, not refundable and not applicable
toward tuition and other costs.
After receipt of the above credentials, the UNCG admissions staff
reviews the application to determine admissibility.
The number of semester hours of credit for previous college-level
work which can be transferred to UNCG and applied toward a bachelor's
degree will be determined by the University Registrar after formal
admission (see Transfer Articulation
Credit). Transfer credit to be awarded is determined by the quality
as well as the quantity of the student's previous college work. Course
work completed with a grade of D+, D or D- will not transfer hours
of credit but may be used to fulfill course requirements.
2 Plus Students
Articulation agreements currently exist with many North
Carolina Community Colleges. Specific details of each agreement may
be obtained from the UNCG Undergraduate Admissions Office or the community
college involved.
2 Plus Articulation students are transfer students with several unique
requirements and procedures. All details governing their enrollment
are provided for in the articulation agreements. The decision for
admission is based on successful completion of the Associate in Applied
Science Degree or the Associate Degree in Nursing, and other specific
factors outlined in the 2 Plus articulation agreement. These applicants
must complete all procedures listed under Transfer Students except
for #2 and apply through the Undergraduate Admissions Office.
2 Plus students must meet the GPA requirements of the UNCG School
of their major as designated in the articulation agreement.
No combination of 2 Plus and transfer credit may exceed 64 semester
hours on the student's transfer equivalency worksheet.
