North Carolina Community College Students

We offer a variety of resources that support the transfer experience for North Carolina Community College students. Use our transfer guides to ensure your coursework counts toward your degree and explore our guaranteed admission pathways.

Transfer Guides

To create an effective transfer plan using the Transfer Guides, students should:

  • Work with an academic advisor at your community college and connect with the university contact listed on each Transfer Guide.
  • Make sure you are using the most up-to-date Transfer Guide by checking the academic year and date published on each Transfer Guide.

Following a Transfer Guide does not guarantee admission to NC State or guarantee an AA/AS degree or BA/BS degree will be conferred.

College of Engineering

The NC State College of Engineering designed these Transfer Guides to allow students to complete their BS degree in two years or slightly longer, depending on the major. Due to NC State course offerings and prerequisites, some guides include part-time semester course loads. In order to maintain full-time status, students in these majors may wish to consider a minor or double major.

Please consult your advisor and the NC State College of Engineering to discuss your academic plan.

College of Humanities and Social Sciences

College of Natural Resources

College of Sciences

Poole College of Management

Wilson College of Textiles

The NC State Wilson College of Textiles strongly recommends that students work with both a community college advisor as well as an NC State WCOT transfer advisor before beginning these guides. Completion of our textiles BS degrees may require more than two years of coursework at NC State.

Please visit the Wilson College of Textiles website for more information.
