Through the registration process,
students assume academic and financial responsibility for the classes in which
they enroll. They are relieved of these
responsibilities only by formally terminating enrollment by dropping or
withdrawing in accordance with procedures and deadlines specified in the Schedule of Classes each term.
Registration Deadlines. University policies determine when students
may enroll or adjust their enrollment in classes. Deadlines for the spring and
fall semesters are shown below. (Deadlines
for summer sessions are approximately proportional based on the length of the
session.)
Register
for classes through the eighth instructional day of the semester.
Drop a class without record
(and remain enrolled in other classes) through the sixth instructional day of
the semester.
Withdraw from the University without
record through the sixth instructional day of the semester.
Drop a class with grade of W
recorded (and remain enrolled in other classes) through the
sixth week of classes in the semester.
No student will be allowed to drop a course after this deadline unless
there are extenuating circumstances recognized by the University.
Withdraw from the University with grade
of W recorded after the sixth instructional day through
the third week prior to the last day of classes of the semester. No student will be allowed to withdraw after
this deadline unless there are extenuating circumstances recognized by the
University. (See the Termination of
Enrollment section of this Catalog.)
Prerequisites and Permits. Credit will be awarded only to students who
are properly registered for it. All students, including visitors and non-degree
students, are required to meet course prerequisites and to obtain the required
permissions to enroll in courses specified in the Schedule of Classes.
Auditors.
With the consent of the instructor, a student may register as an auditor for any class in which space is
available. Fees and procedures for this non-credit enrollment are the same as
those for a credit enrollment.
No
student will be allowed to change the designation of a course from audit to
credit or from credit to audit after the eighth instructional day of a semester
(or a proportional period for summer school).
The
participation of auditors in class discussion and in tests or examinations is
optional with the instructor. Auditors receive no University credit, but they
are expected to attend class regularly. A formal record of the audit on the
student's transcript
is entered at the discretion of the instructor at the end of the course. The
procedure for adding or dropping an audit course is the same as for credit
enrollments.
Dual Undergraduate and Graduate Registration. Undergraduate
students at UNC Charlotte who are required to take fewer than 12 semester hours
of undergraduate work to fulfill all requirements for the bachelor's degree may
be allowed during their final semester to enroll in certain courses for the
purpose of obtaining graduate credit. Authorization for dual
undergraduate/graduate registration may be obtained by submitting to the Dean
of the Graduate School a
Special Request Form approved by the student's undergraduate academic advisor,
the instructor(s) of the graduate course(s), and the dean(s) of the college(s)
offering the graduate course(s), accompanied by the regular application for
admission to graduate study and supporting credentials. The total hours to be
carried in this status shall not exceed 12 hours, of which no more than nine
may be for graduate credit. On the basis of work attempted prior to the final
semester, such student must meet the grade point criteria for admission to a
graduate degree program at the University. No course for which credit is applied
to an undergraduate degree may receive graduate credit. Permission to take graduate courses under
dual registration does not constitute admission to any graduate degree program
at the University.
Consortium Registration.
The Charlotte Area Educational Consortium offers an inter-institutional
exchange during the fall and spring semesters for full-time undergraduate students.
UNC Charlotte students may take courses not available at UNC Charlotte
at one of the institutions listed below, have them appear on their
transcript and, be computed in their grade point average at this
University. The registration process is
initiated in the Registrar's Office and requires the approval of the student's
college dean.

Inter-Institutional Registration. An
inter-institutional registration program is available for a limited number of undergraduate and graduate
students with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro,
North Carolina State University, University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill, Duke University,
NC Central University, and NC
A&T University. The registration
process is initiated in the Registrar's Office and requires the approval of the
student's college dean.
Drop. A student may terminate enrollment in a
course but continue enrollment in other courses by following the procedure to
drop a course specified in the Schedule
of Classes. A student enrolled in only one course must withdraw officially
from the University to drop the course.
Withdrawal
from the University. Any
student voluntarily leaving the University before the close of the term must
withdraw officially. A student initiates the withdrawal procedure and files the
completed form at the Registrar's Office in person or by letter. A withdrawal
is effective when the form or letter is received by the Registrar's Office. A
student who withdraws from the University after the sixth instructional day
will receive the grade of W for all courses
in progress. No student will be allowed to withdraw within two weeks prior to
the last day of class (or as close to half the summer term as possible) unless
there are extenuating circumstances such as serious illness recognized by the
University and approved by the student's dean.
Any student who leaves the University
before the close of a term without withdrawing officially will receive a
failing or unsatisfactory grade (F
for undergraduate credit and U for
graduate credit) in each course for which he/she is registered. A graduate
student who receives a U must appeal
to the Dean of the Graduate
School for reinstatement.
Each instructor determines the attendance
regulations for his or her classes. Students are expected to attend punctually
all scheduled sessions in the courses for which they are registered and are
responsible for completing the work from all class sessions.
Absences from class may be excused by the
instructor for such reasons as personal illness, religious holidays, or
participating as an authorized University representative in an out-of-town
event. Whenever possible, students are expected to seek the permission of the
instructor prior to absences.
Declaration
of a Major. Undergraduate students must declare and be accepted
into a major field of study, or a pre-professional program, by the time they
have earned 60 semester hours of credit. Transfer students entering with 45 to
74 semester hours must declare and be accepted into a major field of study by
the time they have earned 15 semester hours at UNC Charlotte. Transfer students
entering with 75 or more semester hours must be accepted into a major as a
condition for admission. Students who do not satisfy these requirements must
have permission from the dean of Arts and Sciences to register for classes.
To facilitate the declaration process,
advising is required prior to registration for continuing students who have
completed 45 hours or more and have not been accepted into a major or
pre-professional program.
Change
of Degree or Major Program. An undergraduate student may change
from one degree program or area of academic concentration to another when space
is available provided he/she meets the prerequisites for admission to the new
program and has appropriate written approval via a "Declaration of
Program" filed at the Registrar's Office.
Second
Baccalaureate Major. Students who have earned a bachelor's
degree from UNC Charlotte or are working on a bachelor's degree at UNC
Charlotte may enroll in a program leading to a second major under the same
degree provided (1) the second major field selected is different from the
first; (2) the student meets the requirements for acceptance into the second
major program; and (3) the appropriate application for admission or
"Declaration of Program" is filed and approved.
Minor.
Students who
have earned a bachelor's degree from UNC Charlotte or are working on a
bachelor's degree at UNC Charlotte may enroll in a program leading to a minor
(or minors) under that degree provided: (1) the student meets the requirements
for acceptance into the minor program; and (2) the appropriate application for
admission or "Declaration of Program" is filed and approved.
Second
Baccalaureate Degree. Students who have earned bachelor's
degrees from UNC Charlotte or other accredited institutions may enroll in a
program leading to a second degree at the same level provided: (1) the major
field selected is different from that of the first degree; (2) the degree
sought is different from the first when that degree was granted by UNC
Charlotte; and (3) the appropriate application for admission is filed and
approved.
Students seeking a second baccalaureate
degree must: (1) satisfy residency requirements
if their first degree was not earned at UNC Charlotte; (2) achieve a minimum
grade point average of 2.0 on all work attempted toward the second degree; and
(3) satisfy all department and college requirements for the degree sought.
Students who hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution will
not
be
required to satisfy the UNC Charlotte General Education requirements for a
second degree.
Students who complete the equivalent of a
double major in areas for which different degrees are awarded, but who have not
met the requirements for the second degree, may have their accomplishment
acknowledged by an appropriate notation on their transcript.
Instructors assign grades on the basis of their
evaluation of the academic performance of each student enrolled in their
courses. At the end of the term, the
grades are reported to the Registrar's Office which is responsible for
maintaining student academic records and making grades available to students.
Grade Reports. Final grades are available through the
secure, student access pages of the Registrar's web page and through the
telephone registration system (consult Schedule
of Classes for access instructions).
Unsatisfactory grade reports are mailed to students in the middle of
each semester for courses in which the student is performing below average.
Final
Grade Changes/Appeals. When a grade of other than Incomplete (I) is reported
officially by an instructor at the end of a term, the grade is recorded by the
Registrar and can be changed only if an error has been made in assigning or
reporting the grade. When a grade is assigned consistent with University
policy, only the instructor has the right to change the grade except as
provided in the Incomplete grade
policy. When an instructor reports a change for a grade other than I, the Change of Grade Form must be
signed by his/her Department Chairperson and Dean. When a student believes that
a course grade is incorrect, the student’s inquiry should be directed to the
instructor within 10 days after the formal grade report is received. If the student is unable to resolve the
grievance through consultation with the instructor, a written request for
review of the course grade may be submitted to the chair of the department or
program in which the course was taught.
Requests for review must be submitted within the first four weeks of the
next regular academic semester. Requests
for review submitted after the deadline will be heard only in exceptional cases
as determined by the dean of the college in which the appealed course grade
occurred. To initiate a grade review,
the student should request in writing to the department chair a review of the
final course grade.
Grades.
Letters are used to designate the quality of student academic achievement.
Grade
of I (Incomplete).
The grade of I is assigned at the discretion of the instructor when
a student who is otherwise passing has not, due to circumstances beyond his/her
control, completed all the work in the course. The missing work must be
completed by the deadline specified by the instructor or during the next
semester (fall or spring) in residence, but no later than 12 months after the
term in which the I was assigned,
whichever comes first. If the I is
not removed during the specified time, a grade of F, U or N
as
appropriate is automatically assigned. The
grade of I cannot be removed by enrolling again in the same course.
Grade
of IP (In Progress). The grade of IP
is based on coursework for courses that extend over more than one semester. For
example, a course that requires enrollment for
two
consecutive semesters would be eligible for an IP grade in the first
term (i.e., Graduate Thesis, Undergraduate Senior Project, etc.) The grade in
the second term is also awarded for the course in the first semester. A grade
of IP should not be given for coursework to be completed in one given term.
It
cannot be substituted for a grade of I. The IP grade expires after six years, and if
no final grade has been awarded by that
time, the IP grade will default to a grade of N (no credit).
Grade
of W (Withdrawal or Drop). No
grade will be given for a course dropped on or before the last day to drop a
course without record. After this period a student who is permitted to drop or
withdraw from a course will receive a grade of W. Only students with such extenuating circumstances as serious
illness will be permitted to drop a course after the sixth week of classes in
the semester or to withdraw from all courses during the last two weeks of
classes in the semester. Unsatisfactory academic performance itself is not
an extenuating circumstance. The date of
withdrawal is determined when the withdrawal form is accepted by the Registrar’s Office.
Pass/No
Credit Option. Every student will be permitted during
his/her undergraduate years to select
a total of four courses in which he/she will be evaluated on a pass/no credit
basis. Only one such course may be selected during an academic year. Every
course in the University is offered on this basis except when taken by a student for departmental credit toward
his/her major or minor or to satisfy University General Education (COGE)
requirements. Courses completed with the grade of Honors or Pass will count
toward graduation, but they will not be considered in the computation of the
grade point average.
This option is designed to encourage
curiosity, exploration, and experimentation in areas where a student has strong
interest but little or no previous experience. Note: Courses designated by the faculty to be graded only on a Pass/No Credit basis are not counted as
part of this option. The student must declare his/her intention to take a Pass/No Credit option by the end of the
eighth instructional day in the semester.
Grades for General Education Courses. A
course taken to satisfy a General Education requirement must be graded A, B, C, D, F unless it is offered only
with Pass/No Credit grading. The Pass/No Credit Option described above
cannot be applied to General Education courses.
Repeated Courses. Courses listed as "May be repeated for credit" are not subject to the following regulations for repeated courses.
A student who has received a grade of C,
H, P or better in a course may repeat that course only with the prior
approval of the student's advisor, department chair, and dean. A student may
receive credit for a course one time only unless the course description
specifies that it "may be repeated for credit."
Progression Requirement. On
April 16, 1998, the Faculty Council voted to rescind the progression policy
(Course Exclusion Policy) in its entirety, effective immediately. Therefore,
neither new students nor continuing students are now subject to any progression
requirement.
Repeating a Course. On
April 16, 1998, the Faculty Council voted to establish a single course repeat
policy for undergraduate students, effective immediately, but with a grace
period extending to August 15, 1999, for continuing students. Under the new
course repeat policy, each grade earned in a repeated course is computed into
the grade point average.
Grade
Point Average. The grade point average for
an undergraduate student is determined by multiplying the number of grade
points for each grade by the number of semester hours credit received in that
course, adding all accumulated grade points together, and then dividing by the
total number of semester hours the student has attempted, except those for
which the student received a grade of I,
W, H, P, AU, or N. In computing
the grade point average, only
those credits attempted at
UNC Charlotte or through the Charlotte Area Educational Consortium are
included.
Grade Point Deficit. The grade point deficit is the number of
additional grade points required to bring a student's cumulative grade point
average up to 2.0.

GPA
Calculation / Grade Point Deficit. GPA is calculated by
dividing quality points (QPTS) by quality hours (QHRS).
QPTS are determined by multiplying the number
of quality points for each grade (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0) by the
number of semester hours credit associated with that course.
QHRS are the total number of semester
hours the student has attempted, except for those for which a grade of I, W,
P, AU, or N is recorded.
GRADE POINT DEFICIT is the difference
between the number of quality points a student has earned and the number
necessary to yield a GPA of 2.00.
(Number necessary to yield a GPA of 2.00 is equal to 2 times the number
of QHRS.)

The
Registrar is responsible for maintaining the official academic records for all
students. Upon written request by the student, an official transcript of the
academic record will be issued to the person or institution designated,
provided that all the student's obligations to the University have been settled
satisfactorily.
Each
student is entitled to one transcript without cost, regardless of how early in
his/her academic career the request is made. A fee of $3 per copy must
accompany subsequent requests. Requests should reach the Registrar's Office at
least one week before the date the transcript is needed.
FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY
ACT (FERPA) NOTIFICATION
The
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain
rights with respect to their education records. They are:
1.
The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days
of the day the University receives a request for access.
Students
should submit to the Registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other
appropriate official written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to
inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify
the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the
University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall
advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be
addressed.
2. The right to request amendment of the
student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate or
misleading.
Students may ask the University to amend a
record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the
University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of
the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading.
If the University decides not to amend the
record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of
the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding
the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing
procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a
hearing.
3. The right to consent to disclosures of
personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education
records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
One exception that permits disclosure
without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational
interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an
administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position
(including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or
company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor,
or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student
serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance
committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.
A school official has legitimate
educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in
order to fulfill his her professional responsibility.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S.
Department of Education concerning alleged failures by UNC Charlotte to comply
with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that
administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of
Education, 600 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20202.
UNC Charlotte intends to comply fully with
these requirements. Policy Statement No. 69, "The Privacy of Educational
Records," explains the procedures for compliance. Students may obtain
copies of the policy in the Office of the Registrar or http://www.uncc.edu/unccatty/policystate,
and copies of the policy statement are available for inspection in the offices
of each dean and department chair. The policy includes a list of the locations
of all education records maintained by the institution.
The following categories of personally
identifiable information about students have been designated as public or
"directory" information that may be disclosed for any purpose without
student consent: name, local and permanent address, telephone number, email
address, date and place of birth, class, major field of study, dates of
attendance, degrees and awards (including scholarships) received, participation
in officially recognized activities and sports, and weight and height of
members of an athletic team.
Currently enrolled students may withhold
disclosure of information in any category by completing the appropriate form
available in the Office of the Registrar. Written requests for non-disclosure
will be honored for a maximum of one year, and all such requests will expire on
the following August 31. UNC Charlotte assumes that failure to complete the
request indicates approval for disclosure.
All questions concerning this policy on
educational records may be directed to the attention of the Registrar.
Chancellor's List. The
Chancellor's List recognizes undergraduate students with outstanding records of
academic performance. To qualify for the Chancellor's List during the fall or
spring semester, a full-time student must earn a grade point average of at
least 3.8 in 12 or more semester hours of credit graded A, B, or C, with no grade
less than C. A part-time student must
earn a combined fall and spring grade point average of at least 3.8 in 12 or
more semester hours of credit graded A,
B, or C, with no grade less than C. To qualify for the Chancellor's List
as a part-time student, a student must enroll on a part-time basis in both fall
and spring semesters in the same academic year. Students who receive the grade
of AU, H, or P are not excluded from recognition as long as 12 hours are
completed with A, B, or C. Students who receive the grade of D, F, I, NR or N are not eligible for recognition.
Dean's List.
The Dean's List recognizes undergraduate students who earn a grade point
average of at least 3.4 and not more than 3.79 and meet all other criteria as
described for the Chancellor's List.
Commencement Marshals. At each commencement ceremony, the University
Honors the juniors with the highest grade point averages by inviting them to
serve as the marshals who lead the processions of graduates, faculty members,
and the platform party. To select
students for this honor, the University considers juniors who have completed 75
hours of degree work, enrolled full-time (12 or more hours per semester) during
the two most recent semesters, and are able to attend the ceremony.
Graduation With Distinction. Each of
the undergraduate degrees is awarded Summa
Cum Laude when the graduating student's cumulative grade point average is
4.0, Magna Cum Laude when it is at
least 3.8 but less than 4.0, and Cum
Laude when it is 3.4 or more but less than 3.8. To be eligible to graduate
with distinction, a student must have a grade point average computed on at
least 48 semester hours of credit completed in residence at UNC Charlotte.
REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTINUED ENROLLMENT
Good Academic Standing. An undergraduate student
must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above at UNC Charlotte
to remain in good academic standing.
Academic
Probation. An undergraduate student
who has a grade point deficit between one and 13 is placed on academic
probation, and this is noted on the student's academic record and grade report.
Academic Suspension. A student is suspended when either of the
following apply: (1) the student has a
grade point deficit of 14 or more OR
(2) the student fails to achieve good standing by the end of two successive
semesters on probation (excluding summer sessions).
However, a student will not be
suspended:
(1) who was in good standing at the end of
the most recent regular semester (excluding summer sessions); OR
(2)
who is finishing the first regular semester
of enrollment (excluding summer sessions) at UNC Charlotte; OR
(3) who has a 2.5 GPA for the current
semester (excluding summer sessions); OR
(4)
who is readmitted after a break in UNC
Charlotte enrollment of two calendar years or more.
Exception for Summer
Enrollment. Students who
are on academic suspension are permitted to enroll in summer session
classes. They are not eligible to
continue enrollment in the fall and spring semesters until they have applied
and been approved for readmission.
REQUIREMENTS FOR READMISSION AFTER ACADEMIC SUSPENSION OR
TERMINATION
An undergraduate student under suspension
must satisfy the admission requirements as stated elsewhere in this Catalog to qualify for readmission.
In addition, an undergraduate student who
has been suspended for failure to satisfy the requirements for continued
enrollment stated above will be ineligible for readmission until (1) an appeal
is accepted through the Registrar's Office with the approval of the Department
in which the student would major; (2) he/she meets the requirements for
continued enrollment; (3) he/she earns an associate of arts (A.A.) degree from
an accredited two-year institution; or (4) the student elects to use the
Two-Year-Rule. A suspended student who
originally entered UNC Charlotte the fall of 1993 or later is eligible for one
readmission to the University (but not to a specific program) using either the
A.A. Degree Rule or the Two-Year Rule. (See
Readmission of Former Students in this Catalog.) If readmitted, the student is expected to
satisfy the requirements for continued enrollment.
Note. Readmission after
suspension is not automatic. An
application for readmission must be made and approved. Included in the approval must be an
acceptance from the Department in which the student would major. (See the section on Readmission of Former
Students elsewhere in this catalog.)
APPEAL PROCEDURES
Undergraduate students may appeal their
suspension by submitting a written statement to the Office of the Registrar.
Other grievances relating to academic
status are to be addressed by the college where the grievance arises or, if no
particular college is appropriate, by the Assistant Vice Chancellor for
Enrollment Management. Written procedures are available from the dean of each
college and the Registrar’s Office.
Time Limits on Appeals to the Board of
Trustees, President, or Board of Governors
The Code
of the University of North Carolina provides that under certain conditions a
grievant may appeal from a chancellor’s disposition of a grievance. The line of
appeal is to the president or Board of Trustees. The line of appeal from a
decision of the president or the Board of Trustees is to the Board of
Governors. Board of Governors regulations
set time limits for giving notice of any such appeal.
Any appeal from a decision by the chancellor,
the Board of Trustees, or the president which is allowed under Board of
Governors regulations must be filed within ten (10) days after the grievant
receives a decision on the appeal from that officer or body. The grievant’s notice of appeal must be in
writing, but need merely state, “I wish to appeal from the chancellor’s (or
Board of Trustees) decision in my case.” The officer or body to whom the appeal
is directed will thereafter advise of the schedule for perfecting and
processing the appeal.
University of North Carolina regulations
provide that certain appeals from the disposition of grievances by the
chancellor must be addressed to the president, while others must be addressed
to the Board of Trustees. Whether a grievant’s notice of appeal to the next
level from a decision by the chancellor should be sent to the president or to
the Board of Trustees will be noted in the chancellor’s written decision.
Notice of an appeal to the president
should be addressed to the president with a copy to the chancellor. Notice of
an appeal to the Board of Trustees should be addressed to the chancellor for
forwarding to the Board of Trustees. Notice of appeal to the Board of Governors
should be addressed to the president for forwarding to the Board of Governors.
The full text of the Board of Governors
regulation concerning time limits on appeals may be found on-line as Item
III-J-7 in “The Administrative Manual of the University of North Carolina” at
the following: http://www.ga.unc.edu/publications/admin_manual/

CLEP credit will be awarded according to
UNC Charlotte policy in place at the time of evaluation. View score requirements at http://www.uncc.edu/admissions.
The amount of CLEP credit that is
applicable to a specific degree program is determined by the Department offering
the program.
Transfer
Credit from Other Institutions. Transcripts are evaluated
in the Admissions Office and the results are provided to the applicant and to
the major department/ college.
Determining the applicability of transferred credits
to
major or program requirements is the responsibility of the Department
Chairperson or Program Director. General
rules governing transfer credit:
1. Only courses taken at a regionally accredited institution will be considered for transfer
credit.
2.
Provisional
transfer credit may be granted for study at foreign institutions or U.S.
institutions that are not regionally accredited, but must be validated by 30
semester hours of successful performance in residence at UNC Charlotte.
3.
Courses for which credit is accepted must be
appropriate for approved University programs and curricula in which the student
is enrolled.
4.
Any course from an accredited institution
that transfers as a course on the General Education list carrying the
"IR" (initiation date retroactive indefinitely) notation will satisfy
the goals for which the UNC Charlotte course is applicable. All restrictions
that apply to UNC Charlotte courses apply
to transfer courses.
5.
No
credit below C level will be
accepted; grade points and averages do not
transfer.
6.
Transfer credit is awarded only upon receipt
in the UNC Charlotte Admissions Office of an official transcript from the
institution where the credit was earned.
Credit
for Military Training. The University will approve academic
credit for military training equivalent to UNC Charlotte courses required for
the students' major, minor, or General Education requirements and up to three
hours of elective credit. The military training credit must be part of the
student's first 30 hours at UNC Charlotte and must be approved by the student's
major Department Chair, College Dean and the Department that offers the course.
Documentation of the training, such as a
license of completion or notation on the student's DD Form 214, is required.
The same requirements apply to transfer or military training credit approved by
another institution. Contact the Registrar's Office for further information.
Correspondence
and Extension Courses. A limited number of correspondence
and/or extension courses may be transferred.
Credit
from Two-Year Institutions. The University accepts a maximum of 64
semester hours of credit from two-year institutions for undergraduate students.
Transient
Study. Courses undertaken by UNC Charlotte undergraduate degree
students at other accredited institutions may be transferred to the University
subject to the following regulations:
1. The University is not obligated to accept any
credit from another institution unless the student has obtained the prior approval of the dean of the
college in which he/she is enrolled. A Permit for Transient Study form should
be completed and filed in the UNC Charlotte Registrar's Office prior to
enrollment at another institution.
2. No credit will be accepted for courses below C level for undergraduate students or
below B level for graduate students.
3. The student must request that an official
transcript be mailed to the Registrar's Office upon completion of the course. A
form for this purpose is available in the Registrar's Office.
Credit
by Examination. A student currently enrolled at UNC
Charlotte may pass a specially-prepared challenge examination and receive
credit for a University course without having to do the normal course
work. The student contacts the Chair of
the Department in which credit is sought to request administration of an
examination. Since it may not be appropriate to award credit by examination for
some courses, the decision to offer an examination is that of the Department.
If the Chair authorizes an examination, the student is instructed to pay the
required fee for credit by examination and to bring the receipt of payment to
the examination. Hours earned through credit by examination will be indicated
on the transcript, but no grade points will be awarded. Hours attempted will be
assigned equal to the hours earned. Failure on such an examination will incur
no grade point penalty or hours attempted. A department may allow a student to
take examinations for courses not offered at UNC Charlotte, if it deems it appropriate
to do so. No student may challenge a
course for which either a passing or failing grade has been received at UNC
Charlotte.
GRADUATION
Application
for the Degree. Each student should make application for
his/her degree no later than the filing date specified in the University
calendar. The application may be submitted through the Registrar’s web page.
The fee for graduation is $35. Degrees are awarded at commencement exercises
held at the end of the Fall and Spring semesters; however, the diploma and
transcript will reflect the term in which all requirements were completed.
Students completing their degree
requirements in May, participate in the May ceremony. Students completing degrees in a summer term
as well as those completing in December, participate in the December ceremony.
Teacher
Licensure. Students who
have completed degree requirements and obtained passing scores on appropriate
exit tests (e.g., Principles of Teaching and Learning, Praxis II Subject
Assessments) must apply for licensure through the Office of Student Academic
Services (OSAS) in the College of Education.
OSAS will process and submit application packets including Praxis
scores, final transcripts, and required fees to the North Carolina Department
of Public Instruction (NCDPI). Licenses
are mailed directly to applicants by NCDPI.
BACCALAUREATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Credit
Hours. The baccalaureate degrees require completion of
120-128 semester hours of credit, including
all
requirements for a major field of study. Specific requirements for degrees and
programs are presented in the Courses of
Study section of this Catalog.
Residence. A
student must earn the last 25% of baccalaureate degree requirements at UNC
Charlotte, including the last 12 semester hours of work in the major field and
at least six hours of any minor field of study.
Exceptions to these hour provisions may be made upon the recommendation
of the student's major department and with the approval of the dean of the
college of the student's major.
Coursework taken in residence shall be
construed to mean work offered by UNC Charlotte and taken in courses on the UNC
Charlotte campus or at an approved off-campus center. Credit earned by challenge examinations or
other advanced standing examinations cannot be used to meet the residence
requirement.
Grade
Point Averages. To
graduate, a student must have an overall grade point average of at least 2.0
and a grade point average of at least 2.0 in the major and in any minor. Some programs
require a higher grade point average. See the Courses of Study section of this Catalog.
Course
Levels. Junior and senior students are required to have the
consent of the major department to enroll in any course below the 3000 level
not required in their degree program.
General
Education. All baccalaureate degrees at UNC Charlotte include a
common set of General Education requirements designed to develop skills,
competencies, and learning capacities to achieve the Goals of UNC Charlotte Education.
Requests
for Exceptions. Requests for exceptions to any aspects of
the General Education requirements for individual students must be approved by
the Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences.
Such exceptions may be requested by completing the Special Request Form,
including recommendations of approval by the student's Advisor, Chairperson and
Dean, and submitting it to the Registrar’s Office.
GOALS OF UNC CHARLOTTE GENERAL EDUCATION, GENERAL
EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS AND APPROVED COURSES
To meet the Goals of UNC Charlotte General
Education, students engage in a program to develop an understanding of and
appreciation for science and technology; literature and the arts; the
individual, society and culture; and the interrelationships among these.
Designation
of Approved Courses. The
courses that satisfy the Goals of UNC Charlotte General Education are listed
below and also identified in the course descriptions. In addition, a specific
section of a course may be designated to meet a goal. The Schedule of Classes published for each
term
contains a listing of courses and sections that satisfy specific goals. Courses
approved to meet goals are designated by the following symbols:
A Arts
and Ideas
C Individual, Society, and Culture
L Literature or Ideas
O Oral
Communication
P Problem Solving
S Science and Technology
V Values
W Writing Intensive
X Cross-Cultural/International Perspective
N Non-lab
Science Courses transferred from other
institutions and approved to meet the
New Science
Requirement
Courses
Approved to Satisfy Two Goals. Generally, a student may
use a course to satisfy only one Goal
even though the course qualifies to satisfy more than one Goal. The only exceptions to this restriction concern
Values (V), Oral Communications (O), and Writing Intensive (W). Courses approved to meet the Values, Oral
Communications or Writing Intensive requirements also can be approved to
satisfy another goal. However, a student may not use a course to satisfy more
than two goals at the same time even if the course is approved to satisfy more
than two goals.
Transfer
of General Education Equivalent Courses. Students may meet
the Goals of UNC Charlotte General Education with approved equivalent courses
transferred from other institutions. There is no limit to the number of
approved General Education equivalent courses that can be applied to General
Education requirements when the number of credit hours assigned to the
transferred courses are equal to or greater than the number of credit hours
assigned to equivalent UNC Charlotte courses. However, in some instances, the
number of credit hours assigned to a General Education equivalent course is
fewer than the number of credit hours assigned to the UNC Charlotte course. A
maximum of two of these General Education equivalent courses can be applied to
fulfill appropriate General Education goals, provided that the credit hours
assigned to each of the two transfer courses are only one credit hour less than
the number of credit hours assigned to the equivalent UNC Charlotte course. This policy does not reduce the total number of
credit hours required for the degree; students must complete the number of
hours specified for the degree by the Department or program.
Grading
Policy for General Education. A course taken to satisfy a
General Education requirement must be graded A, B, C, D, F, unless it is offered only with Pass/No Credit grading.
GOAL I.

UNC Charlotte graduates should be able
to:
§
Effectively send and receive in English
written and oral messages in different situations for a variety of audiences,
purposes and subjects.
§

§
Foreign language proficiency through the 1102 or 1202 course
level. Proficiency
may be certified by: (1) completion of any UNC Charlotte course in French,
German, or Spanish course at the 1102 level or above; OR completion of
any UNC Charlotte course at the 1202 level or above in Chinese, Greek, Hebrew,
Italian, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, or Russian; (2) transfer of an equivalent
course from another college or university; (3) satisfactory performance on the
UNC Charlotte Foreign Language Placement Exam or on an exam administered by
another university and approved by the UNC Charlotte Department of Languages
and Culture Studies; (4) presentation of an acceptable score on an approved
test in foreign languages, such as AP or CLEP. American sign language may be
used to meet this requirement. Students whose native language is not English
may satisfy the foreign language requirement by completing ENGL 1102 and
showing proof of their knowledge of a language not taught at UNC
Charlotte.
Bypass
credit:
In order to test out of the University’s General Education requirement in foreign
languages, students must demonstrate 1102-level competence by scoring 400 or
above on one of the Placement Exams.
Students who score below 400 on the aforementioned exams and complete
FREN/GERM/SPAN 1102 or 2201 with a grade of A or B will automatically receive 3
hours of credit for the preceding course.
For example, if you complete 1102 with an A or B, you will receive 3
hours of credit for 1101. Students who pass the Placement Exam in a given
language may not thereafter receive credit for a 1000-level class in that
language unless they are currently enrolled in 1100, 1101, or 1102. In that case they will be allowed to complete
the first-year sequence. Students who pass the Placement Exam but are not
currently enrolled in a first-year class may earn 3 hours of bypass credit for
1102 by completing 2201 with a grade of A or B.
The Department of Languages and Culture Studies does not award bypass
credit for 1100 to students who take 1101.
Note: All students with certified learning disabilities or with impaired
sensory, manual or speaking skills who require special assistance regarding the
foreign language requirement should contact the Office of Disability Services.
All other questions regarding the foreign language requirement should be
directed to the Department of Languages and Culture Studies.

Study
Abroad Option to meet Goal VI (X): Students enrolled in a
degree program at UNC Charlotte may satisfy up to six (6) semester hours of the
Goal VI (X) requirement through participation in a study-abroad program
sponsored, or specifically approved, by the Office of International Programs.
Upon successful completion of the approved study abroad program, credit to meet
the cross-cultural requirement will be awarded based on the following
guidelines:
Cross-cultural Requirement Met
8 weeks or longer of study abroad. Up to six semester hours, based on semester
hours earned through study abroad. (Examples: 3 hours earned = 3 hours of the
requirement met; 9 hours earned = 6 hours of the requirement met)
Less than 8 weeks. Up to three semester hours, based on semester
hours earned through study abroad (Examples: 2 hours earned = 2 hours of the
requirement met; 4 hours earned = 3 hours of the requirement met). An
additional three hours (to a total of six hours) may also be approved by
COGE
(on the advice of the Office of International Programs) to satisfy the
requirement if the program experience and/or content warrant.
