The University Transfer Advising Center is the first stop for new students who are interested in transferring after FTCC. The purpose of UTAC is to serve, guide, and support students preparing to transfer to a four-year college or university. Transfer students are paired with a UTAC Advisor during their first semester here. After their first semester attending FTCC, they will be assigned a Faculty Advisor to help them continue on in their educational journey.
UTAC Advisors can help you:
- Explore and define your educational and career goals
- Learn about the transfer process to a four-year college or university

FAQ’s
What is a University transfer program?
A University transfer program is a set of courses that have been designed to transfer to most four-year Colleges and Universities in North Carolina. The set of courses includes 45 semester hours of general education courses and 15 additional semester hours of transfer credit which include ACA 122 and other transferable courses.
What is the difference between the Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Fine Arts (AFA), and Associate in Science (AS) degrees?
The AA degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in areas of study such as English, psychology, music, business, communications or professional programs that require a strong liberal arts background. The mathematics and science requirements for the AA degree are usually fewer than for an AS degree.
The AFA degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in areas such as music, theater, or visual arts.
The AS degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in areas of study such as computer science, engineering, mathematics, the sciences or professional programs that require strong mathematics and science backgrounds.
Is it necessary to finish the associate degree before transferring to a University?
Completing the general education core before transferring is not necessary but advisable. Students who do not complete the general education core as stated in the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement will have to complete the specific general education requirements of the college or university to which they transfer.
When can I transfer, and when should I apply?
Some colleges require a minimum number of completed transfer hours, and others don’t. It’s best to check the transfer policies at the institution you’re applying to and also to ask about the best approach. For instance, more of your credits might transfer if you have completed a certain minimum number of hours or a degree (such as an associate degree).
As for when to apply, earlier is better. You’ll want to check with the admissions office to see if there are any special deadlines for transfer students.
