Implications for JP knapp Students Complete only one degree at COA - multiple associate degrees are discouraged/not permittted Take courses at COA that apply toward degree at COA and four year institution For seniors….should I take another course in order to maximize my transfer potential? Fallon/Boone

Transfer max at UNC system schools is 60-64 credits Tuition Surcharge at four year institution - if student earns over 140 credits then student charge is 1.5 times the tuition amount (most degrees are 120-130 credits) Fallon/Boone
