How Credits Transfer

We have a variety of tools to help you plan your transition to UNC Charlotte. It’s important to use the right tool at the right time.

  • Meet with a Transfer Counselor – Your best option for personalized service! Our transfer counselors are available by phone, virtual appointments, or walk-in meetings. Connect with us!
  • Transfer Credit Advisor – The Transfer Credit Advisor is an online database of courses that have previously transferred from colleges and universities nationwide. Please note that the database reflects past transfer decisions and may not guarantee future transfers.

If you are transferring from a NC community college, the list of courses is comprehensive. If you are transferring from a college or university outside of NC, this may not be a comprehensive list as new courses are continuously added.

TRANSFER GUIDES

Common Numbering System (CNS) – The UNC System created a CNS Transfer Course Search to ease transfer across the 16 public UNC System universities, as well as the School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM).
