We want every student’s college transfer journey to be a successful one and are here to help them navigate their transfer experience. The theme “Unlocking Potential: Keys to the Transfer Journey” celebrates the wealth of skills, knowledge, and perspectives that transfer students bring to our campus. Each student possesses their own unique ‘keys’ – their problem-solving skills and adaptability, diverse lived experiences, and their own connections to community.

At Wilson Community College, students can complete a two-year degree with general education courses that are guaranteed to transfer to any of the 16 public universities in the North Carolina system through the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement. This week, we’re celebrating National Transfer Student Week by helping you prepare to transfer to your future!
Benefits of college transfer include:
- Lower tuition costs
- Smaller class sizes
- More one-on-one time with instructors
- Flexible class schedules
Another benefit is the ability to receive your education on your schedule. Whether you’re a part-time student or full-time student, we have a degree path for you. WCC also offers fast-track transfer degree plans to help you transfer within a year. No matter your schedule, we have a plan for you!

Put School Spirit on Your Checklist!
Are you getting excited about college transfer? Whether you’re at the beginning of your transfer journey or nearing the end, it’s time to charge your transfer spirit! Today, wear and rep your university swag (colors, t-shirts, hoodies, lanyards, etc.) to show support for the university or college you plan on transferring to.
Take a look at your instructors and college staff on campus today as they will also show their school spirit from their alumni universities. If you see a WCC employee ‘repping’ college attire from the university you want to attend, make time to connect and ask questions about their college experience. They can give you information about the campus, what to expect, and share the excitement that comes from being part of the university family.
Not planning on transferring? No worries! Wear your WCC gear to support campus spirit.
