Crosby 9th/10th
January - Class of 2026/27
Happy New year!
New Years is often a time of ambitions and hope. It is a time of reflection over the past year and hope of new life with new beginnings. May you not be brought down from the bad of last year, and instead be grateful that this is a time to bring about new life. And where there is life, there is hope. There is hope that your prior year does not define you and you do not have to be who you were last year, you can change! For some It can be very discouraging to fall into the pattern of unmet goals. It can bring about the monotony of yet another year of unmet resolutions.
But to quote Bruce Lee "A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at".
And Whatever the case for you, I hope that New Years brings you something to aim at. And may we all aim to be better versions of ourselves this year. :)

General Transfer Information
What program do I select if I plan on transferring to a UNC school?
North Carolina offers many transfer opportunities for community college graduates. There are three ways of transferring from a NC community college to a NC public university.
- The Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) provides seamless transfer to graduates of Associate in Arts and Associate in Science programs.
- Uniform Articulation Agreements (UAA) provide transfer opportunities for students in discipline-specific programs, such as Associate in Fine Arts – Visual Arts, Associate in Engineering, and Associate Degree Nursing.
- Bilateral Articulation Agreements (BAA) provide focused transfer pathways for many transfer and technical degrees into specific universities.
