      • Official transcripts. By January 7, please provide official copies of your final transcripts. For first-year students this should include your high school transcript with your graduation date and transcripts for all college coursework. If you’ve earned an associate degree from a North Carolina community college, we’ll also need that final transcript with graduation date. View instructions in MyCarolina.
