Transfer Credit
We're here to help you understand how your credit from other schools could transfer to Carolina. Let’s start with the type of courses you’ve taken and see how the credit you’ve earned applies to Carolina's general education curriculum, IDEAs in Action.
Test Credit
For any advanced tests that you’ve taken during high school, such as AP, IB, or A Levels, learn what course credit you’ll be awarded.
College Credit
Here you’ll find a list of courses that students have previously transferred to UNC-Chapel Hill from other community colleges and four-year institutions, including dual-enrollment courses. If your course is not listed here, there are general guidelines about what courses typically transfer.
If you are a current student and planning to take courses outside of UNC-Chapel Hill, complete a Course Pre-Approval form and review the Transfer Credit Rules.
Common Numbering System (CNS)
The CNS Transfer Course Search was developed by the UNC System Office to help prospective transfer students determine how courses completed at other 4-year UNC institutions and at NC Community College’s may transfer to any UNC System 4-year school. Entering a course into the search will provide output showing how the course transfers to any of the University of North Carolina System’s 4-year schools. If your Common Numbering System (CNS) course isn’t transferring the way you expect when you get to UNC- Chapel Hill, you can initiate the UNC CNS Transfer Credit Appeal Procedure.
Military Credit
Explore the transfer credit you’ll received for educational training completed while serving in the U.S. Military.

NC Community College Transfer Guides
Transfer Guides serve as advising and degree planning tools for students at North Carolina Community Colleges who plan to transfer to a four-year UNC institution and earn a bachelor’s degree.
