NC Community College Transfers

The North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) is a statewide agreement governing the transfer of credits between NC community colleges and NC public universities and has as its objective the smooth transfer of students.

If you are currently attending a North Carolina community college to complete an AA or AS degree with plans to transfer to ECU, we have developed baccalaureate degree plans which can help you select your coursework at the community college. Following these degree plans will ensure you are best positioned to transfer smoothly to ECU. Please note that these plans are published as an example of how a degree from ECU can be completed. Course availability, prior credit, course prerequisites, and student needs must be considered in developing an individual academic pathway. Following the Baccalaureate Degree Plan does not guarantee admission to ECU or guarantee a degree will be conferred. Students should seek academic advising to determine the best course of study to meet their educational goals and degree requirements.

North Carolina community college students who are awarded an Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Arts Teacher Preparation, or Associate in Science Teacher Preparation degree qualify for a General Education program waiver as part of the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA). This waiver does not exempt students from the following requirements: Writing Intensive, Domestic and Global Diversity, and Health-Promotion and Health-Related Physical Activity. Requests for waivers should be made here.

NC Baccalaureate Degree Plans are housed on the Transfer Hub.
