Acceptance of Transfer Credits

Transfer student transcripts will be evaluated on the basis of the following policies:

1. Full credit will be awarded only for courses in which a grade of C or higher was earned.
2. Transfer credits will be used to fulfill program requirements or as electives at the discretion of the appropriate department chair and dean.
3. Credentials for transfer students will be officially evaluated only after an applicant has been accepted and all official transcript(s) have been received.
4. Grades transferred from other institution(s) are not considered in computing the grade point average at Fayetteville State University.

The North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) between the University of North Carolina System and North Carolina Community College System takes precedence over bilateral articulation agreements previously established between Fayetteville State University and North Carolina Community Colleges. The university will accept transfer credits in accordance with the CAA relative to the General Education transfer core; graduates with the Associate in Arts, Associate in Fine Arts, and Associate in Science degree. Transfer credit for the Applied Science degree courses, general education core courses for non-graduates, and transfer courses not originated at North Carolina Community
Colleges will be awarded on a course-by-course basis.
