UNC Online exists to provide a ‘safety net’ for students that need one or more courses in order to stay on their paths to graduation, but are unable to register for that course(s) at their home institution. This may be because the course is not offered that semester, is full, or conflicts with the student’s schedule. Further, UNC Online allows students to register for online courses at another UNC System University at no extra charge!
The process is simple: Using UNC Online, an advisor or student simply identifies an equivalent to the required course at another institution and registers. Once that course is completed by the student, UNC Online automatically transfers the grade back to that student’s record as transfer credit.
