The NC Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (NCCAA) is a statewide agreement between all NC community colleges and all NC public universities governing the transfer of credits between the schools. This agreement means that if you complete an Associate in Arts or an Associate in Science at Central Piedmont and meet all the other eligibility requirements, you will be guaranteed admission to attend one of the UNC universities.

Depending on the program you want to do, you may need to complete additional courses once you transfer to the university.

Review the eligibility requirements and other details of the NC Articulation Agreement.

Learn how you can transfer a Central Piedmont Associate in Applied Science degree. Many of our programs have 2+2 transfer agreements with four-year institutions.

If you are interested in transferring to a private four-year institution in the state of North Carolina, please visit the North Carolina Community College's information page for the Independent Comprehensive Articulation Agreement. 

Central Piedmont credits may also transfer to public and private colleges and universities throughout the United States. Contact the admissions office at your school of interest for more information.
