The UNC Chemistry Department recognizes the transfer course equivalencies previously approved by the University. Follow this link to look up courses by institution. If a student plans to take a course at another institution in the future, and it is not listed at the above site, that student should follow the advice of the Academic Advising Program and submit a Course Approval Form before taking the course. |
| If the course was taken in the past at a different institution but is not listed as previously approved, there are two methods to gain equivalency: |
| 1. For Introductory Chemistry (Chem101, Chem102 and labs), Analytical Chemistry (Chem241 and lab), Organic Chemistry (Chem261, Chem262, and lab), and Biochemistry (Chem430 and lab) students must take a placement/competency exam given by the chemistry department. If passed, this would show the student’s knowledge of the material, and the department will issue an explanation letter to the appropriate academic unit, e.g. Registrar’s office, Academic Advising, Graduate program in Pharmacy. These exams will be given the day before classes begin for the fall and spring semesters, follow this link for an academic calendar, beginning at 1:30 pm in our largest available chemistry lecture hall, currently Chapman Hall 211. The test ro tests will only be given if there are students interested in taking them, so students should email chemus@unc.edu to express interest or ask questions. There is no fee for this service, but students may only attempt each exam once. |
| Note: a separate exam solely for granting credit for Chem101L may be given during the first two-three days of classes during the fall semester. Contact the Chemistry Lab Coordinator for information. |
| 2. To receive credit for other chemistry courses, students should collect information from the course including a syllabus, with notes on school name, text used, credit hours, and topics covered, final course grade, and examples of class work, notes, exams, etc. This information will be reviewed by a chemistry advisor and should be deposited at the Chemistry Student Services office. |
