Overview

  • ECU accepts transferable credit with a grade of “C-“ or higher from institutionally accredited colleges and universities.
  • Because ECU has only articulated credit for schools current ECU students previously attended, TES does not display all possible transferable credit equivlancies.
    • We are constantly updating our equivalencies, but if you don’t see your course, you may submit a course for review using the Transfer Course Evaluation Form.
    • Please make sure your inbox accepts emails from automation@app.smartsheet.com so you get our response!
  • Once ECU receives an official transcript, we evaluate it. Most students have their evaluation completed within 48-72 hours, though it can take up to two weeks, depending on the number of transfer courses and where they were taken previously.

Important Notes

Military Credits

  • All Military/JST/ACE lower-level courses will be reviewed for transfer credit upon submission of official documentation.

Special Programs

  • Industrial Technology and Nursing intended majors should consult cetadvising@ecu.edu (College of Engineering and Technology) or conadvising@ecu.edu (College of Nursing) for transfer credit information. Credits may transfer as 1XXX electives but be able to apply differently to your major.

Alternative & Non-Traditional Credit 

  • Credit for AP, IB, CLEP, and DANTES is awarded based on receipt of official test scores. These equivalencies are available in TES, but you may also view them through ECU Placement Credit Information.
  • While ECU does allow the transfer of credit from third-party course providers like Sophia or Straighterline, students should use extreme caution when taking an abundance of credits through these types of platforms. Certain majors or departments at ECU may have their own restrictions on how these credits may be used toward a degree. If in doubt, check with an Academic Advisor in one of ECU’s Advising Centers.

Notes for North Carolina Community College Transfer Students

  • Some courses listed in TES may only be awarded credit for students within that major.
    • For example, NUR courses will only transfer for BSN students; they cannot be used for electives for non-nursing students.
    • For more specific information, make sure you are following the UNC System Transfer Guides.
  • Some bi-lateral and uniform agreements between the NCCCS and ECU require proof of a completed AAS degree for credit to be awarded.
