As I plan to transfer to UNCC, I'm curious about the number of college credits required. Does UNCC have a cut-off or preferred range for transfer credits?
The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) does not specify a minimum number of transfer credits required. However, to be considered as a transfer student, you typically need to have completed at least 24 semester hours of college-level credit at the time of your application.
Remember, UNCC has a maximum transfer limit of 64 semester hours of credit from a two-year institution and an unlimited number from a four-year institution. But regardless of the amount transferred, students must complete at least 25% of the credit hours required for their degree at UNCC for graduation.
It's also important to consider how your credits will transfer and satisfy various general education, major, or minor requirements at UNCC. This will vary based on your intended program of study. You can use the transfer credit advisor tool on UNCC's website to evaluate how previous coursework may transfer.
So, depending on your academic and career goals, it's advisable to plan your coursework carefully with an advisor at your current institution and potentially reach out to a transfer advisor at UNCC as well. Good luck with your transfer journey!
