College Transfer Programs
(Associate in Arts, Associate in Arts Teacher Preparation, Associate in Science, Associate in Science Teacher Preparation, Associate in Fine Arts in Visual Arts, Associate in Engineering and Associate in General Education-Nursing)
Gaston College offers a college transfer program for students intending to transfer to a four-year college or university by offering courses that parallel those offered during the first two years at four-year institutions. Students who transfer from Gaston College pursue majors such as Agriculture, Anthropology, Architecture, Art, Business Administration, Commercial Art, Design, Education, Engineering, English, Fine Arts, Foreign Language, History, Mathematics, Music, Nursing, Pre-Law, Pre-Medicine, Pre-Ministry, Pharmacy, Psychology, Science, Sociology, Textiles, and others. Students may complete a 60-61 hour Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Arts Teacher Preparation Degree (A.A.T.P), Associate in Science Degree (A.S.), Associate in Science Teacher Preparation Degree (A.S.T.P), Associate in Fine Arts in Visual Arts (A.F.A.V.A.) Associate in Engineering (A.E.), or Associate in General Education-Nursing (AGE-Nursing). Students not interested in pursuing a degree may enroll in courses for personal growth and fulfillment.
A Work-Based Learning (WBL) or an ACA Course of one semester hour of credit may be included in a 61 semester hour-credit degree program such as Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Science Degree (A.S.), Associate in Fine Arts in Visual Arts (A.F.A.V.A.), Associate in Engineering (A.E), or Associate in General Education-Nursing (AGE-Nursing). This course will receive transfer evaluation (not necessarily credit) by the receiving institution.
Each student should confer with their assigned academic advisor about course selection prior to registration. Only with approval of the appropriate academic dean may students substitute courses for those specifically required for graduation and those outside the area of specialization. Only students are responsible for the proper completion of their academic programs based upon the requirements stated in the Gaston College catalog in conjunction with the current schedule.
Arts and Sciences Advising
Academic advising is an integral part of student success. All new students and first semester students are required to seek assistance with course planning from their assigned academic advisor. It is recommended that continuing students meet with their assigned advisor and log into Aviso on a regular basis to review academic plans and progress.
The Arts and Sciences Advising Center (Transfer Advising Center) is located in RCB 236 on the Dallas Campus.
Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA)
Under the provisions of House Bill 739 and Senate Bill 1161, the North Carolina Community College System and the University of North Carolina system have developed a Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) to facilitate the transfer of credits for community college students.
Gaston College graduates of Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degree programs who have made a “C” or better in each course will be considered to have fulfilled the institution-wide, general education requirements of UNC schools to which they are admitted and will be admitted as Juniors. Foreign language and physical education requirements of receiving institutions must still be met.
The North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities have adopted a parallel version of the CAA (ICAA). The following private colleges and universities in North Carolina honor the ICAA: Barton, Belmont Abbey, Bennett, Brevard, Campbell, Catawba, Chowan, Gardner-Webb, Greensboro, Guilford, High Point, Johnson C. Smith, Lees McRae, Lenoir-Rhyne, Livingstone, Mars Hill, Meredith, Methodist, Montreat, Mount Olive, North Carolina Wesleyan, Pfeiffer, St. Andrews, Saint Augustine Salem, Shaw, Warren Wilson, William Peace, and Wingate.
Graduation Requirements
In order to graduate with an Associate in Arts, Associate in Arts in Teacher Preparation, Associate in Science, Associate in Science in Techer Preparation, Associate in Fine Arts in Visual Arts, Associate in Engineering, or Associate in General Education-Nursing Degree, students must have a grade of “C” or better in each course applied towards degree requirements. Students who make below a “C” in a course should either retake the course or complete an approved alternative course.
Students who wish to apply grades of “D” for graduation, may petition for graduation in the Associate in General Education degree program, which is not designed as a transfer program.
