Can I take a computer science class at another University over the summer and use the course to satisfy a specific graduation requirement?
In general students are discouraged from taking computer science classes at other Universities and using these course to satisfy UNC graduation requirements. While all courses taken outside UNC will be evaluated for transfer credit, transfer credit for courses beyond COMP 110 is rarely granted. Therefore, any student intending to satisfy a graduation requirement by taking a computer science course outside UNC is strongly advised to consult the Director of Undergraduate Studies before they enroll in the course. As a general rule, only courses taken at peer institutions (i.e., a Research 1 university) are likely candidates for transfer credit.
