UNC schools add transfer guides

For community college students and graduates who want to transfer to one of North Carolina’s 16 public universities, the path just became clearer.

Nearly 1,400 “transfer guides” are now available, providing advisers and students with information about admissions, course equivalencies and academic programs. The online data tool will help students match their earned community college credits to four-year degree requirements in specific majors at individual University of North System schools.

The guides are available on university websites and the College for North Carolina website at cfnc.org/transferguides. On the CFNC site, a search function allows students to easily browse and compare transfer possibilities by major and by campus.

The user-friendly, accessible guides replace Baccalaureate Degree Plans. They will be updated annually.

“We need to make it easy for talented, ambitious students to continue their education,” said UNC System President Peter Hans, who previously served as president of the N.C. Community College System. “College courses should be challenging; college transfer should be simple.”

Jeff Cox is president of the N.C. Community College System. “This represents a significant milestone in our ongoing, collaborative commitment to enhancing economic mobility for families across North Carolina,” he said of the transfer guides. “Community college students now have a clearer pathway to a bachelor’s degree, and our academic advisers now have better resources to support students as they pursue their academic and career goals.”
