February
February Reminders
Community Service & Academy Credit is due April 1!
Valentines day is a beautiful time to remember our loved ones. Loved ones are not confined to romantic relationships-- surely we love our family, friends, and others we are blessed to have in our lives. Our relationships are a blessing extending from the hand of love. We often think of love in terms of a feeling of what we have received, but what if instead we thought of it as something we can give! Acts of thoughtfulness and kindness are ways to be loving. Maybe think of something someone did for you, and think of ways you can bring that to others.
Hopefully you will come to enjoy Valentines day and the month of February and be thankful for loved ones. Rather it be our loved ones who have passed or or our loved ones we seem to pass by, let us extend a hand of love and peace during this Holiday.

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.
