Transfer Credit The University will award credit for a course from another college or university when the student has earned a grade of C or its equivalent and when a similar course is offered by the University. Students may receive no more than 75 total semester hours of credit for courses transferred from other colleges or universities. When a student has completed more than 75 transferable semester hours, credit will be awarded in this order: • For courses that equate directly with specific courses in the UNC– Chapel Hill curriculum; • For courses that do not equate directly with specific courses but are comparable to elective courses offered by UNC–Chapel Hill departments. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions reviews and awards transfer credit to enrolling students based on their official transcripts. For more information about study abroad transfer credit for current UNC– Chapel Hill students, please visit the UNC Study Abroad website (https:// studyabroad.unc.edu/abroad/study-abroad-credit-transfer-faqs/). The admissions office may be able to award transfer credit to students for study-abroad courses they completed before enrolling at UNC–Chapel Hill, provided they completed the courses while attending colleges and universities in the United States, and provided the courses are reported on the official transcripts of their U.S. Students who transfer to UNC–Chapel Hill from a North Carolina community college may transfer credit earned at UNC to fulfill their degree requirements at the community college. The University will consult two publications when settling questions concerning the transfer of credit: Transfer Credit Practices, published by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, and Accredited Institutions of Post-Secondary Education, published by the American Council on Education. Credit Review and Reconsideration The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is responsible for awarding transfer credit (https://admissions.unc.edu/transfer-credit/) for all credit by exam and courses taken elsewhere except Study Abroad. In those rare instances when a later change in transfer credit will enable a student to graduate on time, the student must appeal to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. In the absence of such a request by a student, the University will not review or change transfer credit that has been awarded by the admissions office

Transferred Semesters The University calculates transferred semesters based on the number of transfer credit hours accepted by UNC–Chapel Hill, not based on the number of semesters in which the student was enrolled at other colleges. For each 15 hours transferred upon enrollment, the student is considered to have completed the equivalent of one UNC–Chapel Hill semester as follows: Transferable credit hours Number of completed semesters Less than 15.0 0 Between 15.0 and 29.9 Between 30.0 and 44.9 1 2 Between 45.0 and 59.9 3 Between 60.0 and 75.0 4 Although all students at UNC–Chapel Hill are expected to graduate within eight total semesters of post-secondary enrollment, transfer students who enter with two transfer semesters (30 or more transferable hours) may enroll in up to 10 total semesters including calculated transfer semesters. Transfer hours awarded for courses taken concurrently with high school are not included in the calculation of Transferred Semesters, nor are hours awarded for credit by exam, such as Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate, or hours taken at UNC–Chapel Hill in the summer immediately preceding full-time degree-seeking enrollment at UNC–Chapel Hill. For additional information, see “Calculation of Transferred Semesters Based on the Number of Transferred Credit Hours” in the Credit and Evaluation (https://catalog.unc.edu/policies-procedures/credit- evaluation/) section and Undergraduate Degree Requirements (https://catalog.unc.edu/undergraduate/degree-requirements/ #requirementstext). Offers of admission typically are extended before an applicant’s transfer credit can be fully evaluated. As a result, while transfer students are advised of their likely classification at the point of admission, this classification is provisional until confirmed by notification of transfer credits earned.

Such admissions shall be for personal benefit and enjoyment, for the satisfaction of prerequisite requirements for professional or graduate programs, or for transfer of credit to a postbaccalaureate degree program, in which case the applicant may be exempted from the qualitative requirements for admission to degree programs.

Calculation of Transferred Semesters Based on the Number of Transferred Credit Hours See the Credit and Evaluation (https://catalog.unc.edu/policies- procedures/credit-evaluation/) section of the catalog. Additional Information for Students with an Academic Status of Suspension • If students earn 15 or more transfer semester credit hours for courses taken at other institutions cumulatively over the fall or spring semesters before applying for readmission to the University, a calculation will be made as to how many semesters the student is regarded as having completed, based on the number of hours accepted for transfer credit.

Special rules regarding transfer courses apply; see Transfer of Credit (https://catalog.unc.edu/admissions/undergraduate/) and Academic Eligibility (https://catalog.unc.edu/policies-procedures/ academic-standing/).

CREDIT AND EVALUATION Awarding Transfer Credit The University must receive an official transcript from the college or university with final grades for courses before transfer credit for approved courses is posted on the UNC-Chapel Hill record. For students who have applied to graduate at UNC-Chapel Hill and expect to have transfer credit applied to final degree requirements, coursework must be completed in the comparable semester or term of graduation and the official transcript received within graduation clearance deadlines. Undergraduate transfer students can expect a review of the domestic transfer transcripts, accurate transfer equivalency information, and an initial transfer credit evaluation 15 business days after the offer of admission and UNC-Chapel Hill receiving all required official transcripts. Undergraduate transfer students with international transfer credit and/ or those with four or more domestic transcripts, can expect a review of the domestic transfer transcripts, accurate transfer equivalency information, and an initial transfer credit evaluation 30 business days after the offer of admission and UNC-Chapel Hill receiving all required official transcripts. Final transfer credit evaluations will be completed once all official transcripts are received. Current undergraduate students at UNC-Chapel Hill seeking to have future transfer credits applied towards their UNC degree, need to submit a course pre-approval form. It is recommended that students discuss the preliminary course approvals with their academic advisor to understand how the transfer credit fits into their degree requirements. The following transfer credit rules apply to undergraduate students: • Students must earn a grade of “C” or higher in all external courses to be approved for undergraduate transfer credit. • The semester credit hours awarded by the external institution are transferred. • Students should only submit a course approval request for the term in which they plan to attend and complete the course.#Approved courses taken outside of the term for which they were approved will not be honored in the event a transfer credit update or change is made. • No additional transfer credit is posted to the student’s record after the student has transferred the maximum limit of 75 hours.No Credit and Evaluation 1 substitutions of transfer credit will be allowed. Transfer courses with no credit hours will not be granted. Overall Guidelines for Evaluations of Undergraduate Transfer of Credit The following guidelines align with the University’s goals, national best practices, and AACRAO recommendations. The administrative offices such as Undergraduate Admissions and Undergraduate Curricula use these guidelines for the course content evaluation of undergraduate transfer credit. The administrative office overseeing undergraduate transfer credit awards UNC-Chapel Hill equivalent credit for lower division (e.g. D. The administrative office overseeing undergraduate transfer credit awards general elective credit for professional school courses, in which UNC- Chapel Hill has a comparable professional school/ competitive admission program (completed at an accredited college or university) o during the initial review process. The administrative office overseeing undergraduate transfer credit only awards transfer credit to students for study-abroad and international courses if the courses were completed prior to enrolling at UNC-Chapel Hill or for current UNC students who plan to take courses in their home countries abroad. The transfer credit hours are based

If WES is unable to provide an evaluation, the course(s) will be denied transfer credit at UNC-Chapel Hill. Calculation of Transferred Semesters Based on the Number of Transferred Credit Hours Several academic procedures, including the determination of academic eligibility, depend on the tally of semesters that students have completed. When credit hours are transferred, a calculation must be made as to the number of semesters the student is regarded as having used up. This calculation is based on the number of credit hours accepted by UNC– Chapel Hill for transfer, not on the number of semesters in which the student was enrolled at other colleges. When credits are transferred from a college that operates on the quarter-term system, one quarter-term credit hour equals two-thirds of a semester credit hour. The formula also applies to transfer credit hours awarded for any courses taken at other institutions during a fall or spring semester (but not during summer terms) after a student matriculates at UNC–Chapel Hill. For students admitted as new first-year or transfer students beginning in fall 2009 or later, the following limitations apply to the use of By-Examination (BE) credit in a major or minor: • No more than two courses (six to eight credit hours) of BE credit may be used as part of the major core.

• Verified completion of two or more semesters of higher education (defined as the equivalent of 24 eligible for transfer credit hours) primarily taught in a language other than English. Credit and Evaluation 9 • Transfer credit for a language course approved as level 3 or above. However, upon recommendation of the appropriate language department, they may receive credit for courses taken at UNC–Chapel Hill beyond level 4 if those courses are heavily based on literature, film, culture, or other content.

3. Transfer credits awarded for courses taken at other colleges Each full multiple of 15 cumulative transfer-credit hours counts as one semester of full-time study. Students may not audit courses offered through Digital and Lifelong Learning (Part-Time Classroom Studies, Carolina Courses Online, Self-Paced Courses, or tutorial programs) or courses preparing students for credit by examination.

Based on the Number of Transferred Credit Hours” in the Credit and Evaluation (https://catalog.unc.edu/policies-procedures/credit- evaluation/) section and Undergraduate Degree Requirements (https://catalog.unc.edu/undergraduate/degree-requirements/ #requirementstext). Offers of admission typically are extended before an applicant’s transfer credit can be fully evaluated. As a result, while transfer students are advised of their likely classification at the point of admission, this classification is provisional until confirmed by notification of transfer credits earned. Students will receive an official credit evaluation prior t the enrollment deadline.

Calculation of Transferred Semesters Based on the Number of Transferred Credit Hours Several academic procedures, including the determination of academic eligibility, depend on the tally of semesters that students have completed. When credit hours are transferred, a calculation must be made as to the number of semesters the student is regarded as having used up. This calculation is based on the number of credit hours accepted by UNC–Chapel Hill for transfer, not on the number of semesters in which the student was enrolled at other colleges. Excluded from this calculation are transfer hours awarded for courses taken concurrent with high school. Students are regarded as having used up one semester for every full multiple of 15.0 semester credit hours accepted for transfer. When credits are transferred from a college that operates on the quarter-term system, one quarter-term credit hour equals two-thirds of a semester credit hour. See “Transfer Candidates” in the “ Undergraduate Admissions ” section of the Catalog for additional information. The same formula is applied to credit hours that a student earns while enrolled in a part-time program of study at UNC–Chapel Hill, with 90 hours regarded as six semesters and 105 hours regarded as seven semesters. Note: Hours earned in any UNC–Chapel Hill summer term are not included in this formula. The formula also applies to transfer credit hours awarded for any courses taken at other institutions during a fall or spring semester (but not during summer terms) after a student matriculates at UNC–Chapel Hill.

Has pending credits to be approved and posted to their academic record (even if not required for graduation); this includes but is not limited to: Credit earned while studying abroad Transfer credit Interinstitutional credit Robertson Scholars credit UNC Online credit Students with temporary grades or pending credits not resolved within 60 days of the degree award date must request a subsequent graduation.

Transfer credits awarded for courses taken at other colleges Each full multiple of 15 cumulative transfer-credit hours counts as one semester of full-time study. Students may not audit courses offered through Digital and Lifelong Learning (Part-Time Classroom Studies, Carolina Courses Online, Self-Paced Courses, or tutorial programs) or courses preparing students for credit by examination. Changes in Fall and Spring Semester Schedules Continuous Course Enrollment: Foundations English Composition and Foreign Language Requirements Effective in fall 2012, students admitted as first-year or as transfer students are required to complete ENGL 105 / ENGL 105I ( ENGL 100 and ENGL 105 / ENGL 105I , if applicable) during their first year, and they must maintain continuous enrollment in Foundations global language courses until they have completed this requirement.

substitutions of transfer credit will be allowed. Transfer courses with no credit hours will not be granted.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is responsible for awarding transfer credit for all credit by exam and courses taken elsewhere except Study Abroad. In those rare instances when a later change in transfer credit will enable a student to graduate on time, the student must appeal to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. In the absence of such a request by a student, the University will not review or change transfer credit that has been awarded by the admissions office after the first day of the student’s first semester in residence, except to correct clerical or other errors that may negatively affect the student. Transferred Semesters The University calculates transferred semesters based on the number of transfer credit hours accepted by UNC–Chapel Hill, not based on the number of semesters in which the student was enrolled at other colleges. For each 15 hours transferred upon enrollment, the student is considered to have completed the equivalent of one UNC–Chapel Hill semester as follows: Generic Table 2 Columns Column 1 Column 2 Transferable credit hours Number of completed semesters Less than 15.0 0 Between 15.0 and 29.9 1 Between 30.0 and 44.9 2 Between 45.0 and 59.9 3 Between 60.0 and 75.0 4 Although all students at UNC–Chapel Hill are expected to graduate within eight total semesters of post-secondary enrollment, transfer students who enter with two transfer semesters (30 or more transferable hours) may enroll in up to 10 total semesters including calculated transfer semesters. Transfer hours awarded for courses taken concurrent ly with high school are not included in the cal culation of Transferred Semesters , nor ar e hours awarded for credit by exam , such as Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate, or hours taken at UNC–Chapel Hill in the summer imme diately preceding full-time degree-seeking enrollment at UNC–Chapel Hill.

Transfer credit hours are not considered for this program.

Majors who other languages for informal conversation suitable for both beginning study abroad or wish to transfer credit from another institution may and advanced students. The department periodically sponsors lectures, apply to transfer a maximum of four courses counting toward the roundtables, small conferences, and film series for the various languages.

No more than five courses (15 hours) of transfer credit and College Board Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate credit may count toward the major. Up to five courses (15 hours) of transfer credit may count toward the major, but only up to two courses (six hours) of College Board Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate credit may count toward the major. In no case can the combination of transfer credits and AP/IB credits exceed 15 hours.

9 hours of additional coursework selected in consultation with the student's advisor, or 6 hours if the student receives transfer credit for one relevant, graduate-level course taken previously.

Internationally Trained Dentists: Advanced Standing Program (ASPID) As of February 2018, the UNC Adams School of Dentistry offers the Advanced Standing Program for International Dentists (ASPID) as an entry for graduates of foreign dental schools, except Canadian graduates, who seek to receive additional training and practice dentistry in the United States. Applicants must apply through ADEA/CAPPID . Each cohort of ASPID students begins in January, with a six-month intensive track leading to integration of the students into the third-year predoctoral D.D.S. class during the fall semester of that same year. During the first six months, ASPID students are enrolled in didactic and preclinical courses that will prepare them to be fully integrated into the third year of predoctoral dental education. The students will participate in specially designed preclinical laboratory and didactic courses to review key topics relative to the practice of oral health care. To apply, applicants are required to successfully pass both National Dental Boards Part I and II (both now discontinued) or the current Integrated National Board Dental Exam (INBDE), the standard written tests for practice in the United States. Transcripts from international schools must be evaluated by Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE).

Anthropology majors are limited to having no more than six credit hours of field-oriented coursework ( ANTH 393 , ANTH 395 , ANTH 451 , or ANTH 453 ) count toward meeting the major requirement, although they are not restricted from enrolling in more than six credit hours of these courses combined. By consulting with their departmental advisors as well as with the University’s Study Abroad Office, students can assess the relevance of available programs to their interests and arrange to transfer credit hours to count toward their undergraduate degree and, where appropriate, the anthropology major.

Students are required to complete 36-48 credits of coursework, depending on approved transfer credit. An Advanced Standing option is available for applicants who have previously studied accounting at the undergraduate level.

The school may accept transfer credit for media and journalism courses taken at other institutions. To request a review of eligible courses, students should submit a Transfer Credit Re-evaluation eForm through their ConnectCarolina Student Center . More than perhaps any other field, media and journalism requires a strong foundation in word usage, grammar, punctuation, and other writing skills.

A degree cannot be awarded to a student who does not meet requirements by the conferral deadline, such as: Has any temporary grade on their academic record; this includes but is not limited to non-permanent grades: AB, IN, NG, NR, SP.

Overall Guidelines for Evaluations of Undergraduate Transfer of Credit The following guidelines align with the University’s goals, national best practices, and AACRAO recommendations. The administrative offices such as Undergraduate Admissions and Undergraduate Curricula use these guidelines for the course content evaluation of undergraduate transfer credit. A. The mode of instruction (e.g., online, asynchronous, in person) is not a factor in determining course equivalency . B. A threshold of 70% content matching is used to determine UNC-Chapel Hill equivalency, unless otherwise needed for specific accreditation factors, discipline content (e.g., language or STEM courses in a sequence), or other discipline requirements . Language or STEM courses in a pre-requisite sequence at UNC-Chapel Hill may require additional justification of course rigor, on-campus equivalency test, or other supporting documentation before a direct course equivalency is approved . Focus Capacity Gen Ed courses at UNC-Chapel Hill require 1.) writing, 2.) presenting, and 3.) collaboration (“recurring capacities”). Checking for these “recurring capacities” is not a determining factor when evaluating a transfer course for equivalent credit. The content, learning objectives , and readings are weighted more heavily. Departments may require that specific upper-level major courses be taken at UNC-Chapel Hill, e.g. capstone course. ​C. Credit Levels and Initial Credit Review . The administrative office overseeing undergraduate transfer credit awards UNC-Chapel Hill equivalent credit for lower division ( e.g. 100- and 200-level courses) for all departments in the College of Arts and Sciences using the 70% criterion . The administrative office at UNC-Chapel Hill awards equivalent credit for upper division (e.g. 300-level and above) courses for all departments in the College of Arts and Sciences and requires academic departments to review the recommendation of equivalency for upper division courses before the credit is posted to the student’s record. If there is not an upper division equivalent, departmental elective credit can be awarded . D. The administrative office overseeing undergraduate transfer credit awards general elective credit for professional school courses, in which UNC- Chapel Hill has a comparable professional school/ competitive admission program (completed at an accredited college or university) during the initial review process . E. Transfer courses taken 10 years ago or more must be reviewed by academic departments to determine if course content is still relevant and is applicable to a student’s current program of study. F . Credit is awarded to current students participating in UNC-Chapel Hill approved study abroad programs by the Study Abroad Office and other UNC global programs offices . The administrative office overseeing undergraduate transfer credit only awards transfer credit to students for study-abroad and international courses if the courses were completed prior to enrolling at UNC-Chapel Hill or for current UNC students who plan to take courses in their home countries abroad . For transcripts from an international institution, a course-by-course evaluation from World Education Services (WES) is required . The transfer credit hours are based upon the WES evaluation . If WES is unable to provide an evaluation, the course(s) will be denied transfer credit at UNC-Chapel Hill . See policy on Grades Earned At Other Institutions here .

Transfer Credit The University will award credit for a course from another college or university when the student has earned a grade of C or its equivalent and when a similar course is offered by the University. Courses with grades that are reported on a scale other than A–F, such as pass/fail, will earn credit only if the transferring institution verifies that the passing grade represents achievement at the level of C or higher. Courses with final grades of C- or below (or the equivalent, if reported on a scale other than A–F) will not earn credit and will not satisfy University requirements. Courses completed in units other than semester hours will be converted to semester hours. Students may receive no more than 75 total semester hours of credit for courses transferred from other colleges or universities. Credits earned by exam through Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and similar programs are not included in this limit. When a student has completed more than 75 transferable semester hours, credit will be awarded in this order: For courses that equate directly with specific courses in the UNC–Chapel Hill curriculum; For courses that do not equate directly with specific courses but are comparable to elective courses offered by UNC–Chapel Hill departments. Courses that equate directly with specific courses in the UNC–Chapel Hill curriculum will fulfill the same course requirements as their equivalents at UNC–Chapel Hill, unless specifically identified otherwise at the time of the initial awarding of credit. Other transferable courses may not fulfill course requirements but may count towards the total semester hours required for graduation. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions reviews and awards transfer credit to enrolling students based on their official transcripts.

Transfer of Business Course Credits from Other Institutions Without regard to a student’s prospective academic major or minor at UNC–Chapel Hill, the UNC Kenan–Flagler Business School will consider for transfer credit business administration courses that meet each of the following six criteria. No exceptions are made. For upper-level courses (equivalent to those numbered 400–699 in the Kenan–Flagler undergraduate curriculum), the course was completed at an accredited institution, including but not limited to AACSB International, or a constituent four-year institution of the University of North Carolina, or an international partner institution of Kenan–Flagler’s undergraduate business program, or the Study Abroad Office housed in the College of Arts and Sciences . The final course grade earned was at least C (not C-) as verified by an official transcript. Courses taken Pass/Fail are ineligible. A comparable course is available in the Kenan–Flagler undergraduate curriculum. The course is not approved for credit in other UNC–Chapel Hill departments (i.e., no double credits). The student completed the course within the past three academic years. The substantive coverage of material constitutes no less than 75 percent of coverage in the comparable Kenan–Flagler course, and there is sufficient indication of individual student evaluation (i.e., no fewer than two major examinations, including a final examination). For students who wish to transfer to UNC–Chapel Hill, pre-approval of such courses is recommended. Requests for validation of course credits earned at another institution must be made no later than the end of the first semester of enrollment at UNC–Chapel Hill following completion of the course. The business school does not award transfer credits in excess of three upper-level courses for transfer students. For business majors who earn admission to UNC Kenan–Flagler Business School, no more than three upper-level courses taken at another institution may be applied to the undergraduate business major curriculum unless earned as part of a preapproved Kenan–Flagler overseas study program. B usiness majors studying through the Study Abroad Office in the College of Arts and Sciences are limited to transferring back a maximum of 9 credit hours towards the business major. To request review and validation of eligible courses, students should submit a Transfer Credit Request Form through Connect Carolina for domestic credit transfer. A copy of the course syllabus must be included for all courses being evaluated. The syllabus must include the title and edition of textbook(s) as well as list explicitly the course content. If the syllabus lists only chapters covered, without a description of the chapter content, a copy of the textbook’s table of contents must be included. For Study Abroad credit review, students should follow the guidelines provided by Kenan-Flagler's Global Team or the Study Abroad Office’s credit team.

Transfer of Credit The following guidelines align with the University’s goals, national best practices, and AACRAO recommendations. The administrative offices such as Undergraduate Admissions and Undergraduate Curricula use these guidelines for the course content evaluation of undergraduate transfer credit. A. The mode of instruction (e.g., online, asynchronous, in person) is not a factor in determining course equivalency. B. A threshold of 70% content matching is used to determine UNC-Chapel r Hill equivalency, unless otherwise needed for specific accreditation factors, discipline content (e.g., language or STEM courses in a sequence), or other discipline requirements. Language or STEM courses in a pre-requisite sequence at UNC- Chapel Hill may require additional justification of course rigor, on- campus equivalency test, or other supporting documentation before a direct course equivalency is approved. Focus Capacity Gen Ed courses at UNC-Chapel Hill require 1.) writing, 2.) presenting, and 3.) collaboration (“recurring capacities”). Checking for these “recurring capacities” is not a determining factor when evaluating a transfer course for equivalent credit. The content, learning objectives, and readings are weighted more heavily. Departments may require that specific upper-level major courses be taken at UNC-Chapel Hill, e.g. capstone course. C. Credit Levels and Initial Credit Review. The administrative office overseeing undergraduate transfer credit awards UNC-Chapel Hill equivalent credit for lower division (e.g. 100- and 200-level courses) for all departments in the College of Arts and Sciences using the 70% criterion. The administrative office at UNC-Chapel Hill awards equivalent credit for upper division (e.g. 300-level and above) courses for all departments in the College of Arts and Sciences and requires academic departments to review the recommendation of equivalency for upper division courses before the credit is posted to the student’s record. If there is not an upper division equivalent, departmental elective credit can be awarded. D. The administrative office overseeing undergraduate transfer credit awards general elective credit for professional school courses, in which UNC- Chapel Hill has a comparable professional school/ competitive admission program (completed at an accredited college or university) o during the initial review process. E. Transfer courses taken 10 years ago or more must be reviewed by academic departments to determine if course content is still relevant and is applicable to a student’s current program of study. F. Credit is awarded to current students participating in UNC-Chapel Hill approved study abroad programs by the Study Abroad Office and other UNC global programs offices. The administrative office overseeing undergraduate transfer credit only awards transfer credit to students for study-abroad and international courses if the courses were completed prior to enrolling at UNC-Chapel Hill or for current UNC students who plan to take courses in their home countries abroad. For transcripts from an international institution, a course-by-course evaluation from World Education Services (WES) is required. The transfer credit hours are based

Permission to move forward with transfer credit for an introductory course requirement (Option 1 above) will require a review by the creative writing faculty of the syllabus and work completed in the course and is dependent on space availability, which cannot be guaranteed.

The University calculates transferred semesters based on the number of transfer credit hours accepted by UNC-Chapel Hill, not based on the number of semesters in which the student was enrolled at other colleges. For each 15 hours transferred upon enrollment, the student is considered to have completed the equivalent of one UNC-Chapel Hill semester as follows: Generic Table 2 Columns Column 1 Column 2 Transferable credit hours Number of completed semesters Less than 15.0 0 Between 15.0 and 29.9 1 Between 30.0 and 44.9 2 Between 45.0 and 59.9 3 Between 60.0 and 75.0 4 Although all students at UNC-Chapel Hill are expected to graduate within eight total semesters of post-secondary enrollment, transfer students who enter with two transfer semesters (30 or more transferable hours) may enroll in up to 10 total semesters including calculated transfer semesters. Transfer hours awarded for courses taken concurrently with high school are not included in the calculation of Transferred Semesters, nor are hours awarded for credit by exam, such as Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate, or hours taken at UNC-Chapel Hill in the summer immediately preceding full-time degree-seeking enrollment at UNC-Chapel Hill. For additional information, see “Calculation of Transferred Semesters Based on the Number of Transferred Credit Hours” in the Credit and Evaluation section and Undergraduate Degree Requirements. Offers of admission typically are extended before an applicant’s transfer credit can be fully evaluated. As a result, while transfer students are advised of their likely classification at the point of admission, this classification is provisional until confirmed by notification of transfer credits earned.
