$70 Application Fee
We require a nonrefundable application fee of $70. You may pay the fee by check or money order. Your check or money order should be payable to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; it must clearly indicate your full legal name, your date of birth, and the confirmation number that you receive after submitting this online application. If you cannot afford the fee, please submit a College Board Fee Waiver Form or a fee-waiver request signed by your high school counselor. Please do not send cash; we regret that we cannot accept it.

Second-Degree Applicants
If you already hold a college or university degree at the bachelor's level or higher, we regret that we cannot consider you for admission to any undergraduate degree program except for programs in Nursing, Radiologic Science, Clinical Laboratory Science, Dental Hygiene, and Public Health.

Minimum Course Requirements
Please remember that the following are minimum course requirements only; admitted candidates typically present credentials that go well beyond the minimum.

Your high school record in grades 9 through 12 must include at least the following:

• four years of English;
• Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry;
• three courses in science (one biological, one physical, and one lab science);
• one course in social science;
• one course in United States history; and
• two years of the same foreign language.

If your high school record lacks any unit in English, math, science, U.S. history, or social science or you hold a GED, you must present one of the following in order to meet minimum eligibility for admission. Additionally, the following requirements must be met if you are a sophomore transfer student who did not complete two years of the same foreign language in high school:

• At least 30 total transferable semester hours from an accredited college or university, with at least six hours in each of the following disciplines: English, math, social science, natural science, and foreign language (if you graduated from high school before 2004, the six hours of a foreign language are not required); or
• Completion of an AA, AS, or AFA from a regionally accredited two-year school; or
• Status as a nontraditional applicant older than age 24.

Transfer Standing
To be eligible for transfer admission, you will need to have graduated high school at least 12 months prior to the semester you wish to enroll. Therefore, if you graduated high school after August 2008, you will need to complete a first-year application, rather than this transfer application for Fall 2009 admission.

Additionally, you should have earned at least 30 transferable semester hours (or 45 transferable quarter hours) by the end of the regular academic year before the semester you wish to enroll at Carolina. This does not include college-level courses completed during high school or the summer sessions immediately prior to enrollment.

If you have fewer than 30 transferable hours, you will be classified as a transfer student with first-year standing. While you will need to submit a transfer application, you will be evaluated within the context of other students who are applying for spaces in the first-year class. Appropriate consideration will be given to your college-level work.

No more than 75 hours from a four-year school and 64 hours from a two-year school can be transferred to the University and applied toward the hours necessary for graduation.

Junior transfers are admitted directly to their degree programs, with a few exceptions:

• Juniors planning to major in Business Administration, Environmental Health Science, Computer Science, Information and Library Science, or Nutrition must enroll in the College of Arts and Sciences and complete at least one semester before applying for admission to those degree programs.
• Juniors planning to major in Pharmacy must apply directly to the School of Pharmacy (www.pharmacy.unc.edu) and not through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
• Junior transfers applying to major programs in the Schools of Dentistry or Allied Health must complete a supplemental department application, as well as this Transfer Application. Please visit the appropriate school's website for its supplemental application and a list of prerequisites.
• Junior or second-degree transfers to the School of Nursing may not use this application, but instead should complete the online Transfer Nursing Application available at http://nursing.unc.edu.

If your Fall 2008 courses do not appear on the transcripts you send, please ask your registrar to send us an official copy of your transcript as soon as those grades become available.

Honor Code/Community Standards
Please answer carefully all of the questions in the Honor Code/Community Standards part of the application, Screens 3 and 13. If you overlook one or more of these questions, we won't be able to consider your application. If you answer "yes" to any Community Standards question, an explanation is required and must be submitted with your application. It is very important that you be honest in your disclosure of past actions. Regardless of your current status, all sanctions at your current or former institution must be reported. Your failure to provide complete, accurate, and truthful information on this application will be grounds to deny or withdraw your admission, or to dismiss you after enrollment. If you have any questions about the community standards section of the application, please contact the admissions office.

Residency Application
If you are a legal resident of North Carolina, you must answer the residency related questions on Screens 2, 3, 4, 5, 12, and 13 to be considered for in-state tuition. If you do not provide complete residency information, we will assume you are not a legal resident of North Carolina.

Need-Based Financial Aid
The Office of Scholarships and Student Aid will send you general information about need-based aid regardless of your status in the admissions process. For more information, call (919) 962-8396 or visit studentaid.unc.edu.

If so, it is important that you respond promptly.

• FAFSA Title IV code: 002974
• CSS/PROFILE code: 5816

Standardized Testing
Sophomore applicants must take either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT with the writing section. If you've taken any AP, IB, or SAT Subject tests, we encourage you to provide your scores, which will be considered as supplemental academic information.

About Admission for Students with Disabilities
Each application for admission is considered in competition with all other applications. However, if you believe that your academic progress has been affected by disability-related issues, you may voluntarily include with your application documentation about the disability and its specific impact on your educational experiences. If you supply such documentation, we will keep it confidential and use it only as part of our voluntary efforts to comply with 34 CFR 104.42. Your choosing to supply this information will not subject you to any discriminatory treatment.

For additional information, please refer to www.admissions.unc.edu/Apply/More_Information.html.

International Students
We welcome students who would like to transfer to Carolina from other post-secondary institutions around the world. In addition to completing this transfer application for admission, international applicants should also complete the Financial Certificate (Section D of the International Application) in order to demonstrate sufficient funds. We are sorry, but UNC-Chapel Hill cannot offer any financial aid to international students; students must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States to qualify for financial aid at this university.

English Language Proficiency
Students currently attending a school where English is not the language of instruction or students for whom English is not their first language are required to submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). A score of 100+ on the internet-based TOEFL (or 250+ on the computer version) or a band score of 7.0 or higher on the IELTS is considered competitive. These examinations are administered at many testing centers throughout the world several times each year. Please take the test before January to ensure that your test scores reach us in time. Test scores should be sent directly from the Educational Testing Service or IELTS Worldwide to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, using the University’s score reporting code of 5816. For registration materials and information regarding these tests, please call or write:

International Transfer Credit Evaluation
Students who are currently enrolled in a university or college in the United States may send their transcripts directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions for evaluation. International students who have attended an accredited college or university in the United States may apply as either sophomore or junior transfers. If you have 30 semester hours or 36 to 76 quarter hours of transferable college work in the United States, you may apply as a sophomore transfer. If you have 60 semester hours or 77 quarter hours of transferable college work, you may apply as a junior transfer.

For students who are currently studying OUTSIDE the United States, we recommend sending foreign transcripts to one of the evaluation services that are part of the National Association of Credit Evaluation Services (www.naces.org) to be evaluated. Students should submit both the original transcript as well as the course-by-course evaluation of credit provided by the evaluation service with their application.

Students who choose not to use one of these credit evaluation services should still apply as a transfer, but will be given first-year standing. If you are admitted and decide to enroll, you may then have the appropriate department evaluate your university work for possible credit. This evaluation is done after students enroll, not before or during the application process. Students planning to initiate the course validation procedure after enrolling should bring as many of the following supporting documents as possible when they come to campus:

• A detailed course outline or syllabus
• A school catalogue description of the course of study
• Sample of written work (papers, examinations, etc.) from the course
• Instructor’s description of student course work, written on official school stationery
• A copy of the transcript with grades report (the Admissions office will have the original)
  (All documents should be in English or English translation.)

If the academic department recommends credit, a written statement will be submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, which will then contact the Registrar to have the credits applied to the student’s UNC-Chapel Hill record. The UNC-Chapel Hill faculty is the final authority on the credit amount awarded and for which UNC-Chapel Hill courses the equivalent credit may be given.
