Military Admission - Support Services
Deployed or Called to Active Duty
If you are active-duty military and are deployed or are a member of the National Guard or Reserves and are called to active duty after being admitted but before classes begin we will defer the offer of admission to a future term. You will receive another acceptance package for the new start term. We request that a copy of the student's orders be provided for our records, but this is not required. Please contact Amanda Parkstone at 910.962.2550.
If you are active-duty military and are deployed or are a member of the

Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC)
UNCW is a member of SOC, a
consortium of over 1,800 institutions pledged to be reasonable in
working with active-duty personnel and veterans trying to earn degrees while
pursuing demanding, transient careers. The university supports the SOC
principles and criteria as a framework for policies that are fair,
equitable and effective in recognizing the special conditions faced by
military students and their family members.
SOC is sponsored by fifteen higher education associations with the
military services, the National Guard Bureau, and the Office of the
Secretary of Defense serving as cooperative agencies. Participating
institutions within the SOC program may agree to guarantee
transferability of courses according to pre-approved tables developed
within specific SOC Degree Program Networks. UNCW is a participating
member in the following networks: SOCMAR (Marine Corps) four-year and
the SOCNAV (Navy) four-year network for the Bachelor of Arts degree in
elementary education and the Bachelor of Arts degree in criminal
justice. The significance of this participation is that designated
courses are pre-approved and guaranteed to be accepted, in transfer, by
other institutions participating in the network. As recommended by the
SOC program, UNCW extends these guarantees to veterans, retired military
and adult family members of military personnel attending classes at our
extended campus sites.
For more information on the SOC program please contact the UNCW Onslow Extension Site Office at 910.455.2310.
