Advise students to follow one of the Career and College Promise college transfer pathways to ensure transferability of college credit completed while in high school:
UGETC
Universal General Education Transfer Component courses are guaranteed to transfer to any UNC system school, up to 30 hours, and be applied to general education curriculum. Students must achieve a C or better for the course to transfer.
- The UGETC guide (PDF, 183KB) will provide a quick reference for UGETC courses.
- The UGETC video will provide further information about how UGETC courses work.
General Education Program
In fall 2015 Appalachian implemented a new general education curriculum.
NCCC Transfer Guides
Baccalaureate Degree Plans and Transfer Four Year Guides are currently being developed for all majors at Appalachian. These guides are designed to assist transfer students with choosing appropriate coursework to meet both general education and major requirements.
Submitting official college transcripts for dual enrollment credit while in high school
Students taking courses from a North Carolina community college MUST submit both an official high school transcript AND official community college transcript. College credit cannot be applied if the official community college transcript is not received.
