New Wolfpack Connect Transfer Program with NC State University

Gaston College students who want to continue their education at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have a new transfer program option. The new Wolfpack Connect program, which complements our existing partnership with NCSU’s C3 program, guarantees admission to NCSU to Gaston College students who meet the required criteria.

This opportunity is available to Gaston students pursuing an Associate in Arts (AA) or Associate in Science (AS) degree, provided they have fewer than 30 transferable credits and at least one academic year remaining at Gaston College at the time of application, and they are interested in pursuing one of the eligible NC State degree programs.

“Gaston College is excited to announce this new guaranteed admission partnership with NC State University through the Wolfpack Connect program,” said Christine Ziemba-Tolbert, Gaston College’s Associate Dean of Arts & Sciences, Transfer Program Liaison and Academic Studies Lead.

“While we’re already proud participants in NC State’s C3 program, Wolfpack Connect opens the door even wider, allowing more of our students to pursue a seamless transfer to one of over 100 eligible bachelor’s degree programs at NC State.”

“This partnership reflects Gaston College’s ongoing commitment to creating accessible and strategic transfer pathways that support student success and academic achievement,” Ziemba-Tolbert added.

Enrollment for the Wolfpack Connect program will begin in late January 2026. Students interested in applying can find more information at transfer.ncsu.edu/apply/wolfpack-connect/.
