ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT:

The University of North Alabama is dedicated to making the transfer process as simple as possible. As required by Alabama State Law, UNA will take your course work as outlined in the appropriate STARS Transfer Guide and enable you to graduate with the same number of hours as native UNA students in the same degree program (assuming you do not change majors). Together, the Transfer Guide and the UNA Area V Page, if used correctly, will guide you through your first two years of course work and prevent the loss of credit hours upon transfer. If you have obtained a Transfer Guide for a major in Elementary Education, be sure to print this page and use it along with the Guide. Upon transfer, please bring these documents to insure a smooth academic transition.


SPECIAL NOTES:

  • This document is not designed to replace or override Areas I-IV of the official STARS Transfer Guide. It simply provides a list of recommended course options for students who are seriously considering a transfer to UNA.
  • If you are transferring to UNA from an institution outside the Alabama Community College System, please contact the UNA Office of Admisions for the most up-to-date transfer information.

Admission to the University of North Alabama does not guarantee admission into the UNA Teacher Education Program. The Teacher Education Program requires a separate admission process. For more information, see “Teacher Education Requirements” in the UNA Undergraduate Catalog, or contact the UNA College of Education.

This degree program leads to K-6 elementary education certification. Students who wish to add P-3 certification may do so by successfully completing the K-6 program with two additional UNA courses (HES 362 and ECE 474) and a 6-semester-hour internship in either pre-kindergarten or kindergarten.
