Course Equivalencies
Use the transfer equivalencies tool to see how courses taken at other institutions transfer to UNC Asheville.
This system reflects previously approved course equivalents at UNC Asheville. If you do not see a specific institution or course listed, it means that we have not yet evaluated course(s) from that institution. Currently enrolled students who are considering taking courses elsewhere should contact the Transfer Evaluator in the Registrar’s office to determine possible equivalencies.
Note to transfer applicants: We are only able to provide an official transcript evaluation upon acceptance to UNCA. Transcript evaluations are completed within two weeks of your acceptance. If you have any questions, please contact Admissions@unca.edu.
