Are you looking for a short-term enrollment at Craven that helps you earn transfer college credits for another college or university? We have several options available if you want to earn college credits.
You are considered a visiting or special credit student if:
- You are enrolled at another college and want to take courses with us that transfer back to your current institution
- You need to take a few prerequisite courses to enter a program at another college or university
- You are taking courses for personal interests
If any of these apply to you, follow the steps below to get started.
Step 1: Complete the Residency Determination (RDS) interview process. If you already have a Residency Certification Number, please ensure that the expiration date is after August 31 (fall semester), January 31 (spring semester), or May 31 (summer semester).
Step 2: Submit your application for admission to the college – view How to Create Your CFNC Account (video). When choosing the program of study or the major you are interested in pursuing, please select “Visiting Student Not Seeking a Degree at Craven CC – Special Credit.”
Step 3: After you set up your student email account, please submit your request through our iaForms portal. College transcripts AP scores, and other approved prior learning credits will be uploaded during the process. Additionally, for students taking ENG 111, MAT 143, MAT 152, or MAT 171, high school transcripts or approved placement test scores will be required. A final grade of “C” or higher is required to waive the prerequisite.
A complete guide on submitting and viewing in processes requests can be found on Panther Portal. You can view our course offerings through the course catalog.
Step 4: If you are using VA benefits, please email your documentation to our VA Certifying Official. If you are requesting a consortium agreement from your home institution, please email our Financial Aid department with the request. Please be aware that you are still responsible for paying for class(es) up front with the agreement.
Note: While special credit students are not eligible to receive financial aid directly from us, scholarships may be available if the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is complete.
