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.
