As a graduate from a North Carolina Cooperative Innovative High School (CIHS) you have an important decision to make when applying for admission to �鶹���� Pembroke. According to House Bill 97 Section 11.16.(a) “any student who graduated from a cooperative innovative high school program with an associate degree and who applies for admission to the constituent institution has the option of being considered for admission as a freshman or as a transfer student.” You can see if your early college qualifies by reviewing the list of .

If you choose to apply as a first-year freshman, an admission decision is made on the basis of: completing your minimum high school course requirements, overall weighted GPA and class rank, plus SAT and/or ACT scores.

If you choose to apply as a transfer student, an admission decision is based on the total number of transferable college credits and overall transfer GPA.  Please refer to our Transfer Admission Requirements for more information.

To ensure your eligibility for housing, merit scholarships and first-year freshman programs, regardless of which option you choose, you will be listed as a first-year student with transfer college credit. However, your actual classification will be determined by the total amount of transferable semester hours of credit.  Students at �鶹���� Pembroke are classified according to the number of semester hours they’ve earned in keeping with the following table:

Less than 30 hours – Freshman	60 to 89 hours – Junior
30 to 59 hours – Sophomore	90 plus hours – Senior

If you have questions about which applicant status to select, please call our office at 910.521.6262 prior to submitting your application.
