  • Once admitted to NC State, you can view your Transfer Credit Report and Degree Audit in your MyPack Portal. These tools show how your credits apply to your NC State degree. You should expect to receive your preliminary Transfer Credit Report within 15 business days of your admission decision. The report will be updated when official final transcripts have been received for in-progress coursework.
  • Newly enrolled first-year students taking dual enrollment courses in high school or attending an early college should submit an official final college transcript by July 15. We will then evaluate your courses and apply transferable credit towards your degree.

Understanding Your Transfer Credit

  • Credits must be from a regionally accredited institution
  • To meet admissions criteria, you must receive a grade of a C- or higher

Earning Credits

Taking Advanced Placement (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and International Baccalaureate (IB) exams and A-levels in high school will provide you a jump start on your college requirements.

We don’t use exam scores in the first-year application review process, but we encourage you to submit your official scores once you confirm your enrollment to receive credit. AP exam scores may be used to meet the recommended courses for transfer applicants. Learn how to send AP exam scores to our office.

Select one of the links on the right to learn about the recognized test curriculum, accepted test scores and credit awarded for AP, IB and CLEP exams, as well as credit awarded for Advanced High School Accounting (AICPA APBP), A and AS Level Equivalencies, and military credits.

Transferring credits from a non-U.S. university?

We are unable to determine how many of your credits will transfer to NC State when you apply. If you are admitted to NC State, your academic department will then determine how many of your non-U.S. university credits will transfer towards your degree. This will require that you submit additional documentation. Read more about what you will be expected to submit on our Transfer Credit Evaluation page.

To complete your NC State application, you will need to have a course-by-course evaluation completed by World Education Services (WES) or Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) and have it submitted to our office.
