Our Associate of Arts, Associate of Business and Associate of Science are considered transferable and are designed to cover the first half of a bachelor's degree.  We highly recommend meeting with an Academic Advisor each semester to discuss your long term goals and to stay on track for graduation.

 

Steps to Transfer:

1. Meet with an Advisor
   Meet with your advisor on a regular basis to ensure you are selecting the appropriate courses for your transfer program.
   
   
2. Apply for Graduation
   Discuss with your advisor which WNC associate degree will best meet your needs and allow you to fulfill your program requirements at your desired college or university.  Submit a WNC application for graduation and pay your fees by the deadline.
   
   
3. Send an Official Copy of your Transcript
   Request a copy of your transcript from WNC Admissions and Records be sent to the transfer institution.  You will need to submit a WNC transcript when you first apply to the transfer institution, and then again after you complete your last WNC course and final grades and degree have been posted.
   
   
4. Apply for Admission at the College or University of your Choice
   Apply for admission and pay all fees to the intended transfer school by their deadline.  Be aware of imortant dates and residency requirements.  Start early!  Many colleges and universities set priority application deadlines as early as Oct. 1 for admission for the following fall semester.
