Reverse Transfer Program

The Reverse Transfer Program is a collaborative effort between North Carolina’s Community Colleges and the University of North Carolina’s 16 constituent institutions. Students who transfer to UNC Wilmington from one of the 58 North Carolina community colleges are given the opportunity to combine the credits earned at UNCW with credit already earned at the community college to determine if the associate degree requirements have been met. Students have the opportunity to opt-in to this program at the time of admission as a transfer student.  There is no cost to participate.  For more information, contact the Office of the Registrar.

Eligibility: Students must have earned at least 16 college-level credit hours at one community college applicable towards their degree, to be eligible to participate. After earning a total of 60 combined credits, the student’s UNCW records will be sent back to their previous community college for evaluation.  The community college will contact students via their UNCW email, with further details, if the Associate degree is awarded.
