Transfer Students

Whether you're transferring from a local community college or a 4-year university, UNC will quickly make you feel at home.

You'll get personal attention from academic advisors, the maximum transfer credits for your previous work , the most financial aid possible and a dozen different residence halls to choose from if you'd like to live on campus.

Transferring to UNC means you won't miss a beat. You'll be continuing your studies instead of starting over.
