University launches ĢƵ Connect, a guaranteed admission program
Admission to ĢƵ from North Carolina community colleges just got simpler.
The university is launching ĢƵ Connect, a new, guaranteed admission program that paves a smoother path to ĢƵ for two-year college transfer students.
“ĢƵ continues to make the process of transferring to ĢƵ as smooth as possible for community college students, and ĢƵ Connect is the newest tool in making that transition easier,” said ĢƵ Chancellor Kelli R. Brown.
“As a community college graduate myself, I understand the unique challenges that students often face in their transition from community college to university and look forward to helping provide a pathway that is not only affordable but also leads to a high-quality, four-year education.”
Students from all 58 North Carolina community colleges are eligible to participate. Other community and junior colleges, such as those out of state and private institutions in North Carolina, are eligible for consideration.
To receive guaranteed admission through ĢƵ Connect, students must:
- Be currently enrolled at a participating institution in a degree-seeking capacity.
- Submit a complete ĢƵ application for admission and records by published deadlines.
- Pay the application fee or request a waiver.
- Be in good academic standing and demonstrate good conduct.
- Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 and at least a 2.2 GPA in their most recent term.
- Earn an associate degree from a participating college.
- Enroll at ĢƵ within one academic year of degree completion.
- Complete the ĢƵ Connect Form.
Students are also automatically invited to the Brinson Honors College if they’re a residential student with a 3.5 GPA upon transferring.
Transfers will also gain access to a number of benefits, such as early access to ĢƵ resources like Hunter Library and major-specific advisors, priority orientation and campus event access and a ĢƵ Connect card.
