What are general transfer credit rules I should know?
You can find details about your specific courses on our Transfer Credit Page.
When submitting a request for transfer credit, please consider the following rules:
- Grades and quality points earned elsewhere are not computed into you UNC cumulative grade point average. Enrollment elsewhere (other than summer school) will be counted as semesters earned toward computing eligibility requirements.
- You must earn a grade of C or higher to obtain University credit.
- Current students with questions about study abroad credits should contact the Study Abroad Office for more information. All other students will be required to provide a course-by-course evaluation from the World Education Services (WES).
- Only six of your last 30 semester hours may be taken at another institution. See your academic advisor for more information.
- The maximum number of hours that may be transferred from any and all institutions combined is 75.
- We do not award more hours to be transferred for approved courses than those earned at the original institution.
- Elective courses generally do not contribute directly to a major/academic program, but they do help students progress toward earning the 120 semester hours needed for graduation.
- The conversion for quarter hours to semester hours is a 2/3 ratio. For example, a 5-quarter-hour course converted to semester hours is 3.33 semester hours.
