Comprehensive Articulation Agreement

The comprehensive articulation agreement between the North Carolina Community College System and the 16 institutions of the North Carolina University System contains the following components:

    1. Students who complete the A.A. or A.S. degree at an institution in the North Carolina Community College System and who are accepted by institutions within the North Carolina University System will transfer as juniors provided they also meet institutional and/or program requirements at the University to which they are transferring.
      • Specific articulation agreements in certain four-year professional programs have been established. These pre-professional program agreements are available through advisers in Arts and Sciences and should be followed by students planning to enter these fields.
      • Students planning to enter other areas of study at a four-year university or college should confer with their adviser and consult the school's catalog to determine courses they need to complete as part of a general A.A. or A.S. degree.
    2. Students who complete the 44 hour general education core at an institution in the North Carolina Community College System and who are accepted by institutions within the North Carolina University System will have met the general education requirements at the University to which they are transferring.
    3. Students who do not complete the 44 hour general education core will have their transcripts evaluated on a course-by-course basis and will be required to meet the general education core requirements at the University to which they are transferring.
