NEW Transfer GUIDES!

     Transfer Guides, formerly known as Baccalaureate Degree Plans (BDPs), have been developed by the University of North Carolina universities to help NC Community College (NCCC) students have more seamless transfer experiences. Transfer Guides have been created to support NCCC students who are pursuing a transfer pathway outlined by the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) or other specified Uniformed Articulation Agreement (UAA). Transfer Guides outline meaningful coursework at the community college that leads to both associate degree completion and bachelor degree completion at a student’s intended university.

Important Note

All Transfer Guides are now available for students pursuing transferable degrees., including the AFA.
