Prospective Students

UNCW seeks transfer students who are academically curious, excited to be in the classroom and willing to fully-immerse themselves in our community of scholars. When reviewing a transfer application for admission, the admissions committee will look carefully at your coursework and performance from all two-year and four-year institutions you have ever attended. While our academic reputation continues to rise year after year, UNCW students are a group of well-rounded students who will bring their talents and interests to our campus. Seahawks are the leaders of tomorrow, shaping their futures on our campus today as they Dare to Soar. The admission process is competitive (we receive more applications than we have space for in our transfer class) and our staff takes pride in getting to know you as more than a prospective applicant. This is evident in UNCW’s stellar graduation rates.

Who is a Transfer Student?

Transfer students at UNCW are students who have graduated from high school or have completed the General Educational Development (GED) test or an Adult High School diploma and are attending, or have previously attended, either a two- or four-year college/university.

What makes a transfer student admissible?

UNCW will consider several aspects of your application in making our admission decision. We invite you to explore the admission process in-depth using the links to the top right.

When can I or should I visit UNCW?

There is no better way to experience the campus than by visiting in person. Beginning in September of 2012 we will have special Transfer Friday’s, where you can take part in a visit designed specifically for you, the transfer student. You are welcome to visit anytime and we strongly encourage you to plan your visit to Wilmington and register for a campus tour using your SeaLevel account.

How do I apply?

There are two methods of applying to UNCW: online or with a paper application. Last year, more than 95% of our applicants elected to apply online. We strongly encourage you to apply online via SeaLevel.

Thank you for your interest and best of luck to you. We hope you will join the Seahawk family!
