Additional Information From UNC-Chapel Hill:
This is a suggested course plan. It is highly recommended that you meet regularly with your academic advisor to determine your course selection and progress toward graduation.
The Community College course recommendations on this Transfer Guide will exceed the requirements of the AA degree; however, UNC will accept up to 75 credit hours from the Community College and students are strongly encouraged to take the recommended courses even if beyond the requirements of the AA. To be considered for the School of Nursing, students must be on track to complete all General Education requirements of UNC-Chapel Hill and all nursing science prerequisites by the end of the spring semester prior to beginning the program.
Students who transfer to UNC under the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) have all lower-level General Education requirements completed, but must complete these requirements through transfer or UNC coursework: Global Language, Research and Discovery, Lifetime Fitness, Communication Beyond Carolina, Campus Life Experience, and, where applicable, Supplemental General Education. Students who do not transfer in under the CAA should work closely with their advisor to determine which requirements apply to them for the IDEAs in Action General Education curriculum.
IDEAs In Action General Education Requirements not covered by the North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement that could be completed at the Community College:
COM 231 (UNC COMM 113) can fulfill COMMBEYOND; COM 120 (UNC COMM 120), CHM 251 (UNC CHEM 261 + CHEM 262L) or CHM 252 (UNC CHEM 262 + CHEM 262L) can fulfill RESEARCH, and PED 110 (LFIT 998) can fulfill LIFE-FIT.
Advising and Community College Course Selection
For UGETC, Pre-Major, Elective, or GEC course options, please refer to the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement transfer course list.
Students should work with their community college academic advisor to ensure appropriate course selection for AA/AS degree completion.
The recommendations on the Transfer Guide will exceed the requirements of the AA degree; however, UNC will accept up to 75 credit hours from the Community College and students are strongly encouraged to take the recommended courses even if beyond the requirements of the AA.
Additional Resources
To find out how your N.C. community college coursework will transfer to UNC, please view the transfer credit list for your community college campus.

Students who complete BIO 111 General Biology I will receive credit for BIOL 101 Principles of Biology, BIOL 101L Principles of Biology Lab, and BIOL 103 How Cells Function.
BIO 168 and BIO 169 taken together are awarded BIOL 252, BIOL 252L, BIOL 253, and BIOL 253L at UNC. Either course taken alone would be awarded BIOL 290 and BIOL 290L.
