Approval for Transfer Credit Students enrolled in the Willie A. Deese College of Business and Economics must receive prior approval from the department chairperson and the Dean of the College of Business and Economics for courses to be considered for transfer credit from other colleges and universities. Community college courses included in articulation agreements and/or courses that are comparable to courses (100-200 level) in the first two years of the selected program of study at North Carolina A&T State University are considered for transfer credit.

Course Credit by Examination Credit may be earned by examination for any undergraduate course for which a suitable examination has been adopted or prepared by the department granting the credit. The student receives the grade “CE” and regular credit for the number of hours involved. However, the credit hours are excluded in computing the student’s grade point average. Credit may also be granted for the successful completion of standardized tests under the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) as approved for specific courses by University departments. There is no maximum amount of credit that a student may earn through CLEP, but a student must complete a minimum of three semesters as a full-time student in residence at the University. Fees NC for CLEP and other standardized examinations are determined externally, rather than by the University. These credits are treated as transfer credits. Questions about the program may be addressed to the Director of Transfer Articulation or the Director of Counseling Services.

All transferable credits must have a grade “C” or higher. If a high school graduate has taken Advanced Placement (AP) courses during high school years, the student will need to submit a test score report directly from the Testing Service of the College Board in order to receive transfer credits.

Graduates of appropriate associate degree programs may receive transfer credit for courses previously taken.
