Program Advising Center Overview


Information about program advisors can be found on the Program Advisor Information webpage.

Welcome to College Transfer Advising! We are located in the Program Advising Center in the Elm Building and assist students who plan to transfer to four-year colleges and universities in pursuing the A.A., A.S., and A.F.A. degree programs.

The College Transfer Program provides opportunities for students to complete coursework that will transfer as baccalaureate credit to four-year colleges and universities. By completing courses in the Arts and Sciences, students can earn an Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, and Associate in Fine Arts. A-B Tech also offers Associate in Teacher Preparation or Associate in Engineering degrees. These degrees are designed to prepare students to continue their education in their field of study.

Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College is actively and fully complying with the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement between the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) and the University of North Carolina (UNC) System. This agreement establishes college transfer courses, degrees, and policies that are accepted by all 58 community colleges and all 16 UNC colleges and universities. Students who complete degree requirements will have certain guarantees that credit earned will transfer to UNC institutions.

Students who do not complete all degree or general education requirements of the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement will be able to transfer credit on a course-by-course basis and must comply with the requirements of the receiving institution. In all cases, it remains the responsibility of the student to be aware of the special requirements of a particular institution or program.
