Transfer Credit Policy 

Transfer Credits are accepted only from the regional accrediting agencies listed below:

  • Higher Learning Commission (HLC)
  • Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE)
  • Southern Association of Colleges and Schools - Commission on Colleges (SACS)
  • WASC Senior College and University Commission (WASC-SCUC)

A minimum grade of “C” is required for all transferable coursework. Grades of "C- (minus)" and below are not transferable.

Accepted courses are entered on students' academic records, but grade points are not calculated on the transferred courses. N.C. A&T does not accept transfer credit for remedial coursework and coursework where grades of “P/F” were earned.

Advanced Placement (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), Cambridge International (CAMB) and International Baccalaureate (IB) Program and Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) credits may be accepted by N.C. A&T.

Maximum Credits Transfer Policy

  • For coursework completed at a four-year institution, the maximum number of transferable credits is 90.
  • For coursework completed at both a two-year and a four-year institution, the maximum number of transferable credits is 90.

The North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement

The University of North Carolina System and the North Carolina Community College System have designed the North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA). The CAA is a statewide agreement governing the transfer of credits between NC community colleges and NC public universities to facilitate the transfer of courses to most four-year colleges and universities in North Carolina.

To be eligible for transfer credit under the CAA, the transfer student applicant must have successfully completed a course designated as transferable or graduate with an Associate in Arts (AA) or Associate in Science (AS). N.C. A&T accepts credits under the guidelines of the North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement.

If a student from a North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) college believes the terms of the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) have not been honored by N.C. A&T or any of the other University of North Carolina (UNC) institutions to which the student was admitted, the student may invoke the CAA Transfer Credit Appeal Procedure.

An Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree is not covered under the CAA and courses will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis. Also, all Associate in Arts (AA) and Associate in Science (AS) degrees earned from out-of-state institutions are not covered under the CAA and courses will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis.
