The Reverse Transfer Program is a collaborative effort between North Carolina Community Colleges and the UNC System.

Students who transfer to a UNC System institution from one of the 58 North Carolina community colleges are given the opportunity to combine the credits earned at the university with credit already earned at the community college. In many cases, the combination of credits meets all degree requirements for an associate degree. This ensures that students receive recognition for the work they have completed.
