Admissions

No, just one. Admissions rotates between the two universities every four years. Currently, the UNCG Graduate School is handling admissions paperwork. See here to access the online application.Once all successful applicants have been accepted, students will be randomly assigned to either UNCG or NCA&T for purposes of tuition and fees, registration, financial aid, and access to all fee-based services, including student health services. This will be considered the student’s “home” campus. The “home campus” has no bearing on class location or faculty.

Applications are available online.

Applications must be submitted online by January 15.

Financial Matters

Tuition and fees payments are made to the home campus to which students are randomly assigned after they have been accepted to the program.

You will apply for financial aid through your home campus. However, you will need to list both UNCG and NCA&T on your FAFSA because you will not receive your home campus assignment until sometime in May. The federal school code for UNCG is 002976, and for NCA&TSU is 002905

Regardless of which university is your home campus, your tuition will be the same. However, tuition does change from year to year, and usually is not posted until late spring or early summer. Fees at UNCG are posted on website.
