University/College Agreements

Transfer to a University of North Carolina Public University

All NC Community College students benefit from a transfer agreement maintained by the NC Community College System Office with public universities in North Carolina. This comprehensive articulation agreement establishes college transfer courses, degrees, and policies that are accepted by all 58 community colleges and all 16 UNC colleges and universities**, including:

• Appalachian State University
• East Carolina University
• Elizabeth City State University
• Fayetteville State University
• North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University
• North Carolina Central University
• North Carolina State University
• University of North Carolina at Asheville
• University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
• University of North Carolina at Charlotte
• University of North Carolina at Greensboro
• University of North Carolina at Pembroke
• University of North Carolina School of the Arts
• University of North Carolina at Wilmington
• Western Carolina University
• Winston-Salem State University

A Baccalaureate Degree Plan (BDP) is available for each of the 16 NC public universities.  Sometimes called the “Four Year School Transfer Guide”, BDPs allow a student to make smart course choices while studying at the community college.
