Requirements for community college transfer to UNCW?

I’m thinking about enrolling in a community college first and aiming to transfer to UNCW. Does anyone have detailed info on credit or course requirements for the transfer?

In order to transfer to The University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) from a community college, you'll need to keep a few guidelines and requirements in mind.

Firstly, UNCW requires that you have at least 24 transferable credit hours at the time of application to be considered a transfer student. If you are a North Carolina Community College student, you will also need to follow the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) which guarantees transfer of credits and smooth transition to UNCW.

You should plan to complete general education courses that satisfy UNCW's requirements. Portals such as UNCW's Transfer Equivalency tool can help you determine how your community college courses will transfer.

Your GPA will be an important factor. UNCW generally looks for students with at least a 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale, though more competitive programs may look for higher GPAs.

UNCW also considers 'good standing' at your current institution important i.e., you should not be suspended or expelled.

When it comes to specific program requirements, that can vary. It's recommended you check the detailed requirements of the program you're interested in. For example, programs like Business, Film Studies, and Nursing have specific prerequisites that you must fulfill.

You should also work closely with your community college advisor while planning your courses to ensure a smooth transfer process. Transfer Counselors or Admission representatives at UNCW can also provide additional details and guidance throughout your transfer journey.

Lastly, I would recommend you apply as early as possible since UNCW reviews applications on a rolling basis. Good luck with your educational journey!
