UNCW Pre-Engineering Program
Two-Plus-Two NCSU transfer applicants

When applying:

  • On the "Tranfer Only" page of the application, under the section "List courses in progress", be sure to add in parentheses where the courses are being taken: (NCSU) for distance ed. courses or (UNCW) for on-campus courses. List any summer school courses you intend to take if you are applying for the fall. List NCSU in the "Current/last colleges attended" if you took or are taking an distance education courses.

NCSU Transfer GPA calculation

When NCSU calculates the GPA it will use to consider your transfer application, it uses credits from all colleges and/or community colleges you have attended.  It also uses NCSU's repeat course/grade replacement policy and not that of the institution from which you transfer.  At UNCW for example, students are allowed five repeats of courses and grade replacements in which a grade below C- was earned.  At NCSU, students are allowed two repeats of courses and grade replacement in which a grade below C- was earned within the first 12 months of attending NCSU.  In addition, the repeat must be taken within 12 months of when the course was first taken.  Therefore, for any repeats above two, both grades for the same course will be used in the transfer GPA calculation.  NCSU also drops pluses and minuses when calculating the transfer GPA.

These policies are intended to put all transfer applicants on as even a basis as possible.

Most Two-Plus-Two students transfer after two years having met the above requirements.  If one wishes to transfer to NCSU after one year, these requirements must be met by the end of the first summer session after the freshman year to be accepted for the fall.  Therefore, PHY 201 will have to be taken in the first summer session. (It is not available in the spring semester.)  ENG 201 can only be taken by sophomores.  Therefore one will have to request an exception and take it in the spring or take its equivalent at Cape Fear Community College.  Alternatively, the equivalent of ENG 201 can be taken in the spring as a distance education course from NCSU.

If one wishes to transfer after one and one-half years, these requirements must be met by the end of the second summer session after the freshman year to be accepted for the following spring.  PHY 201 will have to be taken in the first summer session as above but ENG 201 can be taken in the second summer session.
