Did you know you can transfer to 45 four-year institutions (public and private/independent) in North Carolina that will accept your transferable º£½ÇÊÓƵ course credits?

  There are agreements between these institutions that help protect all or some of your º£½ÇÊÓƵ credits; this is dependent on which associate degree program you complete. When you meet with your º£½ÇÊÓƵ Academic Advisor you can discuss more about which associate degree program may be best for you.

In North Carolina, we have many four-year institutions to consider for your bachelor’s degree program. There are two main types of institutions that you can consider in NC:

• public in-state institutions
• total of 17 across the state, with 16 offering bachelor’s degrees or higher
• learn about transferring as an NC Community College student

• private and independent in-state institutions
• total of 36 across the state, 35 offering bachelor’s degrees or higher, 30 participating in the ICAA regarding transfer credits (see below)
• The biggest Myth about these institutions
  • The thinking that they cost more to attend than public in-state institutions…this is not always the case.

Transfer Admission Guarantees (TAG) Co-Admission Agreements – A Step and Guarantee Beyond the Comprehensive Articulation Agreements

º£½ÇÊÓƵ has partnered with several four-year colleges and universities to create Transfer Admission Guarantees (TAG) program agreements which smooth the transfer pathway for students and strengthen the transfer relationship between institutions. Most TAG Co-Admission programs provide students early access and connection to the university advisors, faculty, financial aid counselors, and student life staff during their studies at the community college leading to direct entry admission to the university upon completion of their transfer degree.
