Transfer Credit Evaluation Process

At NC Central University, we strive to provide the student with the best evaluation the first time. We provide a course-for-course evaluation that will help prevent a student from taking any duplicate course work. We can only post-transfer work to the student’s record if it meets the following criteria: 

• A grade of “C” or better has been recorded on official transcripts. 
• The course is not remedial or developmental (typically numbered 100 level or higher). 
• The course was taken at an intuition that is regionally accredited.

Please review the steps below, as well as the detailed explanation that follows, to better understand the transfer credit evaluation process.

Regular admissions procedures are applied to transfer student applications. When applying as a transfer student, please complete the Undergraduate Admissions application that is available online. 

After applying, please have official copies of your transcripts sent to North Carolina Central University (NC Central University) from your previously attended institutions. Your school’s registrar’s office may send official transcripts either by mail or electronically.

Once a transfer student has been accepted to NC Central University, has paid their enrollment fee, and has registered for orientation, we will begin the transfer credit evaluation process. Evaluations are completed within 7–14 business days. 

Transfer credits can be seen in myEOL on the student transcript. Please note that a student will not have access to transcript information if they have not activated their myEOL account. 

Course equivalencies may also be viewed under NC Central University’s listing on TES (CollegeSource.com). 

For any coursework not displaying on TES, NC Central University will review the course(s) and make a determination if there is a direct equivalency or if only general elective credit will be granted. If a course has not been granted a direct equivalency, it will display as ELEC 1000, which is a general elective.

During a transfer student’s orientation session, academic advisors will meet with students and review the transfer transcript evaluation. Advisors will help students determine which courses fulfill the requirements of their degree program and assist students with selecting the appropriate courses to take next. 

If a student had in-progress course work at the time of application to NC Central University, the student will need to submit a final official transcript after all final grades have been posted. Please be sure to mention if you have any in-progress courses to your academic advisor during orientation. 

If a student has questions about how their transfer courses apply to their new degree program, they should contact their academic advisor. Advisors are assigned according to a student’s academic level. The number of accepted transfer credit hours determines the level.
