The North Carolina Community College System office and GTCC make determinations about how to accept and apply prior learning credit. This page represents state and local CE-to-CU approved equivalencies at GTCC, as well as approved Industry Certifications that can be applied for CU credit. CE-to-CU credit is only applied if the approved CE course was completed at GTCC. Local equivalencies are not guaranteed to transfer to another institution.
