UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS
The
University of North Carolina at Pembroke is committed to the recruitment of a
diverse, achievement-oriented, and socially responsible student body that will
enrich the intellectual, cultural, and social community of the University and
the community at large. UNC Pembroke
welcomes applications from persons who have earned a high school diploma or its
equivalent and whose academic preparation and aptitude predict success in
higher education. No single consideration dictates admission decisions;
instead, numerous factors and their relationships to one another enter into
such decisions. All applicants demonstrating that they can profit from and
succeed in undergraduate studies qualify for admission to the University.
Any
student who supplies false or misleading information or conceals pertinent
facts in order to secure admission to UNC Pembroke may be denied admission or,
if admitted, may be immediately dismissed from the University. Such a student
may be ineligible to receive any credit from the University.

Requests
for general information, brochures, and application forms should be addressed
to the Office of Admissions. Completed application forms and all supporting
documents such as test scores, official high school transcripts and/or college
and university transcripts, and a non‑refundable $45.00 application fee,
should be forwarded to the Office of Admissions, PO Box 1510, Pembroke, NC
28372. We encourage you to submit your
application online by going to the apply now link at
http://www.uncp.edu/admissions/apply/default.asp. The office may be reached by
phone at (800) 949-UNCP or 910-521-6262.
Students may contact the Office of Admissions through email at
admissions@uncp.edu or visit the UNCP home page at www.uncp.edu. The fax number for the Office of Admissions
is (910) 521-6497.
All
new students, and all re‑enrolling students who have been out of UNCP for
one year, who plan to take 4 or more credit hours during their initial semester
are required to complete a medical history form. This form may be obtained from
the Office of Admissions and returned to Student Health Services prior to
registering for classes.
NEW FRESHMEN
Applicants
for the freshman class must be graduates of an approved or accredited high
school or home school. Non‑graduates must possess a high school
equivalency certificate and present evidence of maturity and the potential to
achieve success in a university environment.
An
application for admission, a $45 nonrefundable application fee, an official
high school transcript, and SAT or ACT scores with writing must be received
before an application is considered complete, and the file must be complete
before an admission decision can be made.
Students who are dual-enrolled at community colleges must also submit
official transcripts of any college work. The Admissions Policy requires one of
three possible decisions for each applicant:
* Applicants who have satisfactory
high school records, including course selection and class rank, appropriate SAT
or ACT test scores, and who meet the minimum course requirements will be
accepted for admission.
* Applicants whose records and test
scores do not meet the minimum requirements will be denied admission.
* Applicants whose records and/or
test scores meet many, but not all, of UNC Pembroke’s regular admission
standards may be offered admission to the University’s College Opportunity
Program. (A detailed description of this program is in the Special Programs
section of this catalog.)
MINIMUM COURSE REQUIREMENTS (MCR) AT
THE 16 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA CAMPUSES
The
following courses will be required for admission, in addition to each UNC
institution’s specific requirements:
* In English, four course units emphasizing grammar, composition, and
literature;
* In foreign language, two course units of language other than English
(required of Dec. 2003 and later high school graduates);
* In mathematics, four course units including algebra I, algebra II,
geometry, and for December 2005 and later high school graduates, a higher level
mathematics course for which algebra II is a prerequisite; or successful
completion of three Integrated Mathematics courses and a course for which
Integrated Mathematics 3 is a prerequisite:
* In science, three course units including:
** at least one unit in a life or
biological science (for example, biology),
** at least one unit in a physical
science (for example, physical science, chemistry and physics) and
** at least one laboratory course;
and
* In social studies, two course units including one unit in U.S. history, but an applicant who does not
have the unit in U.S. history may be admitted on the condition that at least
three semester hours in that subject be passed by the end of the sophomore
year.
In
addition, it is recommended that prospective students take one foreign language course unit and one
mathematics course unit in the twelfth grade. Course units as defined in these requirements
may include those high school level courses taken and passed by an applicant
while enrolled as a high school student with all courses reflected on the high
school transcript. Admission to the
University does not guarantee admission to individual programs; individual
program admission requirements are described in specific academic sections.
EXCEPTION
POLICIES FOR NORMAL ADMISSIONS REQUESTS:
The
Chancellor, with the recommendation of the Director of Admissions and the Executive
Director of Enrollment Planning and Recruitment, may allow a Special Talent
Waiver to a student who does not meet the UNC Minimum Course Requirements but
has otherwise demonstrated promise for academic success, as measured by grades,
class rank, SAT or ACT scores, when compared with other students admitted to
the University.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
* Students must submit a completed
application for admission.
* Students seeking to transfer from
other collegiate institutions must furnish an official transcript from each
institution attended. The transcripts must indicate a cumulative “C” (2.0)
average on all work attempted prior to admission to UNC Pembroke. Courses
satisfactorily completed at regionally accredited institutions are evaluated in
terms of courses offered and academic programs available at UNCP.
* An official high school transcript
and a nonrefundable $45 application fee are required.
* The student must attain at least a
grade of “C” (2.0) in a course in order for that course to be allowed for
transfer credit. Grades from transferred courses will not count toward the
student’s cumulative quality point average at UNC Pembroke, except for honors
designation upon graduation.
* Transfer applicants must submit a
University Questionnaire completed by the last institution they attended, which
states that they are immediately eligible to return to the previous
institution.
* Transfer applicants who graduated
from high school in the year 1990 and beyond must meet the minimum course
requirements outlined in the previous section (See Minimum Course
Requirements–MCR). For those students who do not meet these requirements, six
(6) college transferable semester hours must be earned at an accredited college
or university in the following areas—English, Math, Science, Social Science,
Foreign Language—before admission is granted.
Applicants 24 years old or older may be admitted as non-traditional
freshmen or transfer students without meeting MCR.
* Each transfer applicant must
submit a completed medical history form before registering for classes.
* Transfer students entering UNC
Pembroke with fewer than 30 transferrable hours (determined by Undergraduate
Admissions) will be required to attend a transfer orientation session to
acquaint the student with the academic, co‑curricular, and social life of
the University and to gather information to assist in the student’s academic
advancement.
Because
of differing admission requirements, transfer applicants who are candidates for
teacher licensure degrees should refer to the admission requirements stipulated
for the Teacher Education Program.
The
classification of transfer students (freshman, sophomore, junior or senior) is
determined by the number of transfer credit hours accepted by UNC Pembroke. The
maximum transfer credit hours accepted from a two‑year institution ranges
from 60-64 semester hours. Although there is no limit on credit hours accepted
for a student who transfers from a four‑year institution, a 30‑hour
residency is required to graduate from the University of North Carolina at
Pembroke, and students must satisfy all UNC Pembroke degree requirements for
their chosen major.
The Comprehensive Articulation Agreement, a statewide
agreement governing the transfer of credits between N.C. community colleges and
public universities in North Carolina, defines a 44-semester credit hour
general education core and 20 semester credit hour pre-major in the AA or AS
degree which is fully transferable to UNC Pembroke in courses with a minimum
2.0 GPA.
RE‑ENROLLING STUDENTS
Students who have interrupted their course of study for at
least two semesters must apply for readmission through the Office of the
Registrar ($25 readmission fee).
Students who are seeking readmission to UNC Pembroke after completing
additional work at another institution must reapply through the Office of the
Registrar. Transcripts of any academic work completed in the interim at any
other institution must be provided prior to approval for readmission, along
with an application, $25 application fee, and university questionnaire from the
last school attended if
other than UNCP. Students who complete classes at another institution while
they are suspended from UNCP will not be allowed to transfer any credit earned
while under suspension.
SPECIAL READMISSION POLICY
Any
former UNCP student who was academically suspended or placed on academic
probation at the end of his/her final semester and has not attended any
institution of higher education for a period of four (4) academic years may
apply for readmittance under the Special Readmission Policy. All students
admitted under this policy return on probationary status and must follow the
policies and procedures outlined under “Suspension and Readmittance” in the
Academic Policies section of the UNCP catalog. In order to qualify for the
Special Readmission Policy, students must earn a 2.0 or higher in their first
12 hours after being readmitted. Students may apply for readmittance under this
policy one time. Once approved, the decision will not be reversed.
Upon
meeting the requirements for this policy, the student’s QPA will be computed
excluding all previous grades below C (2.0). All grades will remain on the
student’s transcript, but only those previous courses in which a grade of C or
better was earned will count toward graduation. All course work, however, will
count toward attempted hours, and all grades, including those from the
student’s previous QPA, will be calculated for honors purposes.
Students
admitted under the Special Readmission Policy may not make use of the grade
replacement policy and must continue to maintain a minimum QPA of 2.00. Failure
to maintain this minimum QPA will result in a two-semester suspension.
Departments
with more rigorous QPA standards than the general University requirement of 2.0
have the right to deny admission to a program. Any student under this policy
must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours at UNCP after readmission in order
to qualify for graduation.
Students
must apply for the Special Readmission Policy through the Registrar’s Office.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Applicants
from non‑English-speaking countries must provide evidence of proficiency
in the English language with their applications for admission to UNC Pembroke.
Scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) are required. For
students born in non‑English-speaking nations but educated in senior high
schools in the United States, scores on the SAT or ACT can substitute for
scores on the TOEFL or IELTS. Each student must submit official verification of
financial resources sufficient to cover educational expenses. Certified translations
by a licensed or professional translator must accompany academic documents not
written in English. For transfer
students, the Admissions Office requires that all international college
transcripts be evaluated by an accredited transcript evaluation agency. The courses will need to be translated into
the U.S. equivalencies. The
international undergraduate admissions application and other information
relevant to prospective international students may be accessed at www.uncp.edu/admissions/
undergraduate/international.asp. It is preferred that all documents be sent to
the Admissions Office six months prior to date of entry. All documents must be received and evaluated
before a DS-2019 and I-20 can be issued.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
Persons
applying for admission as Special Students should meet the qualifications
described in one of the following categories:
Enrichment, Teacher Licensure/Renewal, Second Degree, Transient, and
Joint Enrolled. A $45 nonrefundable application fee may be required.
Enrichment: Applicants not
enrolled in a degree program at another institution who wish to complete
courses at UNC Pembroke for personal or professional enrichment may qualify for
admission as special students. Such applicants must submit an application for
admission, a $45 nonrefundable application fee, and a final high school or
college transcript. Students in this
category cannot earn more than 15 semester hours. Continuation of enrollment in
additional courses will require the approval of the Director of Admissions.
These students enroll without entering degree programs, and they may not later
become degree candidates unless they have been admitted as regular students. Students
under academic suspension from any university are not eligible to enroll as
special students.
Teacher
Licensure/Renewal: Individuals who have a baccalaureate degree may be admitted
to earn teacher licensure or take courses for renewal purposes. An application
for admission, $45 nonrefundable application fee, and a copy of the transcript
reflecting the baccalaureate degree awarded must be submitted prior to
admission to the University. In addition
to applying to UNC Pembroke through the Admissions Office, individuals must
also contact the Director of Teacher Education (and submit any additional
required documentation) to design an individualized education plan. All licensure candidates must meet the
admission and retention standards of the Teacher Education Program and the
National Teachers Examination requirements established by the State Board of
Education. (See Teacher Education Program.)
Second Degree: Applicants who wish to enroll at the
University to complete a second undergraduate degree must submit the
application for admissions, a $45 nonrefundable application fee ($25 if
applying for readmission), and transcripts from all colleges attended. (See
Requirements for a Second Baccalaureate Degree.)
Transient Students: Transient students are students enrolled in a
degree program at another college or university who qualify to study for one
semester or summer session at UNC Pembroke and plan to transfer credits earned
back to the institution at which they are pursuing a degree. To gain admission as
transient students, applicants must be in good academic standing and be
eligible to return to their parent institution. They must also have permission
from their institution to study at UNC Pembroke. Students may retrieve the
transient applicaton from the following site:
www.uncpsummerschool.com/PDF/Current_Transient_App. An application fee is not required.
Joint Enrolled: The Joint
Enrollment Program is designed for high school students who have excelled
academically in high school and prove ready for college-level work. Students may register for no more than one
course per semester while completing their high school curriculum, and they
cannot take courses that are offered at their high school. Interested students must submit a special
Joint Enrollment Application, an official high school transcript, SAT/ACT
scores, and class rank. Permission must be granted from the student’s high
school principal or guidance counselor and the Director of Admissions, prior to
admission as a Joint Enrolled student. An
application fee is not required.
AUDITING
All
persons, whether regularly enrolled in the University or seeking to take a
course for enrichment, who desire to audit a course must secure the permission
of the instructor and the Office for Academic Affairs. Audits may not be added
to a student’s schedule after the last day to add a class. The fee charged for
auditing a course will be the same as if the course were taken for credit. Students who are regularly enrolled at the University
must file a copy of the permission letter from the Office for Academic Affairs
with the instructor at the beginning of the course. Audited classes are listed on the permanent
record and are designated by the letters “AU.”
Class participation by and requirements of auditors are at the
discretion of the instructor.

COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM
UNC
Pembroke participates in the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and
accepts CLEP examinations which measure mastery of college-level, introductory
course content in a variety of subject areas. Students meeting the
credit-granting score on CLEP Examinations may earn up to 30 semester hours of
college level credit. Transfer students may earn credit through prior CLEP
exams provided the following criteria are met: 1) their scores must meet UNCP’s
credit-granting standards, 2) their scores must be sent to the UNCP Admissions
Office, and 3) their exams must be among those listed below. CLEP credit will
not be granted for previously failed courses.
CLEP Examinations may be taken prior
to or during the student’s enrollment with the following exception: no CLEP
examination credit will be accepted during the final 25 percent of a student’s
course work. Successful completion of each examination earns three to twelve
semester hours of credit and may exempt the student from certain General
Education (as defined below) or major requirements. In some cases, only general
elective credit will be awarded.

ESTHER G. MAYNOR HONORS COLLEGE
The
Esther G. Maynor Honors College is designed to recognize outstanding students
and to promote the scholarly growth of the students selected for the program by
providing interdisciplinary educational opportunities that enhance the general
curriculum. These opportunities are developed around a learning community of
honors students and include selected general education courses, small
interdisciplinary seminars, cultural and service programs, and shared
residential facilities with other honors students. The Esther G. Maynor Honors College offers an
intellectually stimulating social environment; greater curricular flexibility;
more personal contact and scholarly discussion with students and faculty from
the various disciplines; and closer interaction with individual faculty members
in the College. Each Esther G. Maynor
Honors College student prepares a senior project under the supervision of a
faculty mentor. For program description,
see Special Programs.
Program
participants are selected on the basis of class rank, high school grades,
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores or American College Testing (ACT) scores,
and extra‑curricular and community achievements. Esther G. Maynor Honors
College students are appointed by the Dean of the Esther G. Maynor Honors
College upon the recommendation of the Honors College Council.
COLLEGE OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM
The
College Opportunity Program (COP) is designed to admit a limited number of
students who meet most, but not all, of The University of North Carolina at
Pembroke’s regular admission standards. Students are selected on the basis of
high school academic record, scholastic standing in the high school graduating
class, and SAT or ACT scores. The application for admission should be filed as
early as possible.
Students
enter the College Opportunity Program based on recommendations from the Office
of Undergraduate Admissions, and students enroll in courses designed to develop
academic skills which will be necessary for their success at UNC Pembroke. In
the Fall and Spring Semesters, the student is allowed to register for 15-17
hours of academic courses. In addition, students meet regularly with the COP
advisors for academic counseling as well as participate in special programs throughout
the academic year. Students who meet the
University’s academic eligibility requirements and have successfully completed
the College Opportunity Program (made a “C” or higher in ENG 0104, FRS 1000,
ENG 1050, and ENG 1060) then continue at the University as other regularly
admitted students.
