How does course transfer work from a community college to Fayetteville State University?

I'm currently attending a community college and planning to transfer to Fayetteville State University. How seamless is the course transfer process? Are there any courses that typically don't transfer?

The transfer process for courses from community colleges to Fayetteville State University is generally quite smooth, provided the courses are comparable and relevant to your intended major at FSU.

Fayetteville State University has an established articulation agreement with the North Carolina Community College System. This agreement intends to provide a good transfer of credits between these institutions. This means that if you earned an associate degree from an accredited North Carolina community college, you should be able to transfer your credits to FSU without much difficulty.

However, specific course transfers can depend on the relevance and compatibility of the courses with FSU's degree programs. To ensure a seamless transfer, it's recommended to choose courses in your community college that align with the program you intend to pursue at FSU.

You can access FSU's Transfer Equivalency System online where you'll be able to input your community college and see which of your completed courses can directly translate to FSU credits. This tool can guide you on which existing and future courses you take at your community college will have an equivalent at FSU.

Do note that usually developmental, technical, vocational, or remedial courses may not transfer, as these types of courses might not match the academic level or content of FSU's degree programs.

It's also important to maintain a good GPA at your community college, as FSU does take academic performance into consideration during the transfer process.

Of course, if in doubt at any time, don't hesitate to reach out to an academic advisor either at your community college or at FSU's admissions office. They can provide personalized guidance on your transfer process.
