Transfer Credit Limits and
UNCG Graduation Requirements

Return to Curriculum Menu

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. See complete Transfer Credit Policies.

Transfer students may apply certain courses above the 64 semester hour limit to their departmental major requirements but not receive the semester hours credit. Transfers must earn a minimum of 31 hours at UNCG, perhaps more, depending upon the school or department of the anticipated major. See UNCG degree requirements.

Students beginning their college careers at institutions other than UNCG who anticipate transferring to UNCG are advised to maintain close contact with the school or department of their anticipated major. Accurate and up-to-date information about admission requirements, deadlines, and required courses can facilitate the transfer process.

Many courses completed elsewhere transfer into UNCG as specific UNCG courses. Certain courses completed at other institutions, however, do not have specific UNCG course equations and transfer into UNCG as electives, which carry the course number 000. These courses may be either departmental (ACC, BIO, ENG, etc.) or general elective (ELE) credit.
