Can I be accepted before I finish school?
Yes.  Just remember to submit your final transcript after completion of coursework from the institution you are leaving.

Do you offer a scholarship?
If you graduate from a North Carolina community college and have a GPA of at least 2.75, you will be eligible for the Transfer Student Scholarship.  For more information and the scholarship application click here.

If I’m accepted into the school, does that mean I’m also accepted into my major?
No.  Upon admittance to NCCU you will need to refer to the department’s requirement.  In many cases, that department will require you to submit another application for admission to your major. 

Does my A.A. or A.S. cover all general education courses required for graduation at NCCU?
No.  While the degree may grant you entrance into the university, it does not satisfy your physical education, health, and foreign language requirements.

Does an A.A. or A.S. guarantee admittance to NCCU?
Under the articulation agreement NCCU has with area community colleges, we will accept students who matriculate through a community college program with an associate’s degree. However, you must meet NCCU’s requirement of a 2.0 GPA.

Can I transfer with an Applied Associate of Science (A.A.S.) degree?
Yes. NCCU offers bilateral agreements and student track options for students who have graduated with a technical degree.  These agreements are pre-approved course curriculums for students who select to study courses that don’t always offer seamless transition options.

If I’ve been out of school for 7 years, do I still need to submit my high school transcript?
Yes, if you are under the age of 24.
