Each year we enroll more than 900 transfer students, and these students are fully engaged in the academic and extracurricular life of the University. This website is designed to guide you through the transfer process. If there’s anything we can do to help you explore Carolina, please let us know. We encourage you to submit your application electronically. Our online application is secure and easy to use; it also allows you to pay by credit card and gives you immediate confirmation that your application has been received. To get started, go to your UNC homepage. You can also download a .PDF version of the transfer application from the forms library and mail the completed copy to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Printed applications are not available. The transfer application deadline is March 1 (postmark date) with notification provided by April 21. The deadline for junior transfer applicants to dental hygiene, clinical laboratory science, health policy and administration, nursing, radiologic science, biostatistics, and education varies by department. Please contact the specific department for additional information. Enrollment deposits are due by May 14 for Fall 2008 classes. We do not accept students for spring enrollment. We evaluate candidates based on both their high school and college records. You must have at least a 2.0 GPA and be eligible to return to any college or university you have attended in order to be considered for admission. Above that requirement, there is no minimum GPA that guarantees admission. We value a strong performance in a challenging college curriculum, including courses in English, math, science, literature, social sciences, and foreign language. We strongly recommend that students complete Carolina’s required courses in math, English, and a foreign language before transferring to the University.
Additional resources for determining required courses: 1. Refer to the Undergraduate Bulletin for degree requirements in your major. 2. View the following resources:
As for your high school record, we focus on the rigor of your high school curriculum, as well as your performance in those courses. Sophomore applicants must take either the SAT I with writing or the ACT with writing. If you’ve taken any SAT II exams, we encourage you to provide your scores, which will be considered as supplemental academic information; if you haven’t taken any SAT IIs, you won’t be disadvantaged.

Transferring Courses to Carolina In general, you will be awarded credit for an academic course with a grade of a C or better from an accredited institution if Carolina has a similar, equivalent course.

Note for current UNC-Chapel Hill students: If you have already completed 64 semester hours of credit at UNC-Chapel Hill, or will have 64 hours at the conclusion of the semester in which you plan to dual-enroll at a two-year school, you cannot transfer additional credit hours for concurrent courses taken at the two-year institution. Follow these steps to determine the transferability of your courses. 1. View Carolina’s Undergraduate Bulletin to assess the courses offered in your area of study. 2. View the following resources:
3. Even if you cannot find the exact course in the sources listed above, most general courses, such as history, English, psychology, sociology, art, and drama are transferable. Beginning with students applying for Fall 2008, class standing is determined by the number of transferable hours presented at the end of the regular academic year before the fall semester you wish to enroll. This does not include summer sessions immediately prior to enrollment.
No more than 75 hours can be transferred to the University and applied toward the hours necessary for graduation. If you have fewer than 30 transferable
hours, you will be
classified as a transfer student with first-year standing. While you
will need to submit a transfer application, you will be evaluated within
the context of other students who are applying for spaces in the first-year
class. Appropriate consideration will be given to your college-level Sophomore transfers enroll in the College of Arts and Sciences and are not admitted to specific programs in their major. Your choice of intended major plays no role in our admission decision. Junior transfers are admitted directly to their degree programs, with a few exceptions. Juniors planning to major in business administration, environmental sciences and studies, computer science, information and library science, or nutrition must enroll in the College of Arts and Sciences and complete at least one semester before applying for admission to those degree programs. Juniors planning to major in pharmacy must apply directly to the School of Pharmacy and not through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Junior transfers applying to major programs in education, dental hygiene, clinical laboratory science, or radiologic science must complete a supplemental department application, as well as an application for transfer admission through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Junior transfers applying to nursing must complete the online nursing application at nursing.unc.edu. Please visit the appropriate school’s website for its supplemental application and a list of prerequisites. In general, Carolina does not accept undergraduate applications from students who have already earned a bachelor's degree. Students wishing to be considered for a major in dental hygiene, clinical laboratory science, health policy and administration, nursing, radiologic science, or biostatistics are the only exceptions. If you are interested in one of these majors, please contact the particular department for more information. You may also wish to consider one of our graduate programs. Tuition, room, board, and other expenses for the 2007-2008 academic year are estimated as follows:
