How Your Credits Will Transfer to Meredith

There are plenty of great reasons to transfer to Meredith College. With our strong reputation, talented faculty, intimate class sizes, and numerous professional opportunities you’ll finish your degree in a community that tailors your education to your passions.

As a transfer student, we know you have questions. Questions like “How long will it take for me to complete my degree?” “Will I have to take more classes?” “Will I fit in with the campus community?” “Can I live on campus?” “Can I study abroad?” These are all important questions, but perhaps the most pressing matter on your mind is, “How will my credits transfer?”

Well, we have good news. At Meredith, we want to make your transfer process easy. Whether you are transferring from a four-year college or university, a community college, or a two-year college, we will complete a transfer credit evaluation to ensure you receive the maximum credit hours.

It’s also important to know that Meredith College has articulation agreements with the North Carolina Community College System. This blog post defines the agreements and how you’ll reap the benefits.  

Articulation Agreements

NC Articulation Agreements are statewide agreements that govern the transfer of credits between statewide community colleges and Meredith College. These agreements make it easier for you to transfer from a community college and complete your bachelor’s degree at a four-year college.

Associate of Arts or Associate of Science

If you’ve completed an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree at an NC-CC, you will enter Meredith College as a junior. In addition to the guaranteed transfer of all eligible credit hours, you may qualify for need-based financial aid when you submit the FAFSA.
