Guaranteed admission
NCSSM Residential program graduates who successfully complete all of NCSSM’s graduation requirements and remain in good standing with a weighted GPA at or above the threshold set by the UNC System president and NCSSM chancellor (currently 3.5) are guaranteed admission to any UNC System universities to which they apply.
Facts about guaranteed admission:
- Admission to a particular UNC System institution does not guarantee acceptance into specific schools, colleges or programs of study within the institution (Note: Because UNC School of the Arts admits students only into particular programs of study, admission to UNCSA is contingent upon acceptance into the student’s chosen program)
- Students should submit their strongest possible application to each institution to increase the chances of receiving merit scholarships and admission to desired programs
- Residential graduates beginning with the Class of 2022 are eligible
- NCSSM Online students are not eligible
