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.

Students who transfer to UNC under the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) have all General Education requirements completed, but must complete these degree 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 Graduation Requirements not covered by the North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement that could be completed at the Community College:

  • COM 231 (UNC COMM 113), or COM 160 (UNC COMM223), or SPH 151 (UNC COMM113) 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;
  • PED 110 (LFIT 998) can fulfill LIFE-FIT.
  • Foreign Language courses numbered 211 (Intermediate Level 1) can fulfill GLBL-LANG.

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.
