• A high school transcript is required for all transfer students.
• Internationally-educated students must have their foreign credentials translated and evaluated by an accredited credential evaluation service. Transfer applicants must have a "Course by Course Report" completed by the service. Many UNC Charlotte applicants choose World Education Services (WES) as their evaluation service.
