Course Description. The Chief Academic Officer of any participating community college or university may request that a course be removed from the CAA transfer list. Both a community college and a university must partner to request the addition of a course to the transfer list. The university endorsement signifies that the university accepts the course and believes the course should be recommended for statewide consideration. Name of the Community College: Name of UNC Senior Institution: would like for the above course to be added to the CAA transfer course list with a status of: Pre-Major/Elective General Education or UGETC for the following discipline: Communications Humanities/Fine Arts Math Social/Behavioral Science Science would like for the above course to be deleted from the CAA transfer course list Please provide rationale for the course addition or deletion: (additional page may be utilized) Signature of Chief Academic Officer NCCCS College Date Signature of Chief Academic Officer UNC Senior Institution Date Please submit the completed and signed request to all of the following three representatives: Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Ed.D.
