Transfer Student Peer Mentor Program

We are so glad that you have chosen to continue your academic career at UNCW! We also know that this transition can come with questions and concerns. Please know that you are not alone, and that there are students who have been through this who are ready to help you! If you would like to be assigned a mentor, simply go to this survey REQUEST A MENTOR, complete and submit. Over the summer we will be matching incoming transfer students (mentees) with Mentors, and hope to have all completed by the beginning of fall 2013 classes. Please check your UNCW email for more information or your assigned mentor. If you have questions, please contact the Office of Transition Programs at 910.962.3089.

Transfer Student Organization

Interested in meeting other transfer students like yourself? Check out the Transfer Student Organization. The purpose of TSO is to provide both support and resources that unite transfer students through academic, service, and involvement opportunities. There will be a focus on Non-Traditional students and transfer students from Cape Fear Community College. Being a transfer student is a truly unique experience that should be shared. Involvement on campus improves the quality of student's lives and likelihood of success at UNCW. Like the UNCW Transfer Student Organization on Facebook for more information.
