UNC Charlotte’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions maintains an online service that can help you determine which of your previous courses may transfer.

Undergraduate Transfer FAQs
Does UNC Charlotte have the same academic rules and regulations as my other school?
No. Every college or university has its own policies regarding academics. You should NOT transfer before you have thoroughly investigated these changes. You can set up an appointment with an admissions counselor in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to discuss your situation.
I am an international transfer student. Will my classes transfer from my foreign university?
Possibly. The International Student Admissions Office will need to evaluate your non-business classes and determine whether or not they are equivalent to those offered at UNC Charlotte. For business classes, you must see the Advising Center and provide course descriptions from the classes you have taken. We will evaluate them and determine whether or not they are equivalent to Belk College of Business classes. There is a limit on how much transfer credit you can receive for business coursework. See the "College Residency Requirements" in the UNC Charlotte Catalog.
I am a domestic transfer student. Will all my classes transfer from my other institution(s)?
Possibly. The Office of Admissions will evaluate your classes and determine whether or not they are equivalent to those offered at UNC Charlotte. If they are found not to be equivalent, you will be given elective credit. There is a limit on how much transfer credit you can receive for business coursework. See the "College Residency Requirements" in the UNC Charlotte Catalog.
Will my grades and GPA transfer?
No. The only things that will transfer are the credits you received from each course in which you received a grade of "C" or better. If you earned an associate's degree, the credits for all classes will transfer. In either case, no more than 64 credit hours will be accepted from any community college or associate's degree program.
I took a course at my other school that I think should satisfy a General Education Goal, but I only received elective credit. What should I do?
Go to the University College office (Colvard 2008) and pick up a "Transfer Credit Challenge for a Goal Request" form. Obtain a course description from your other school, and follow the directions on the form.
