Welcome to
Passport
Orientation
PASSPORT OVERVIEW
UNC Charlotte and CPCC share a long history. The
introduction of the Passport Program was a
natural progression in our relationship.
Why was the Passport
Program established?
• Natural step in our already established relationship
• Followed the model set by other established
“bridge” programs (Clemson, University of
Missouri, Penn State, Oregon State University,
University of Alabama, Oklahoma State University,
IUPUI)
• Took the best aspects from these programs to
develop the Passport Program
• Students have higher transfer and success rates in
established programs
Who gets admitted to
the Passport Program?
• Applicants to UNC Charlotte (application growth of
over 11% this year)
• Passport students are identified during the
application review process
• Passport students are typically students who would
have been admissible in prior years. These are
students who we feel would be successful at UNC
Charlotte after completing transfer coursework.
How is the Passport Program different
from the regular transfer process?
• Dual-advising
• No need to reapply to UNC Charlotte, we will
update your application
• Earlier notification of admission to UNC
Charlotte
• Special courses and seminars offered only to
Passport students
• Transition activities offered at UNC Charlotte
