International Admission - Deadlines & Applying

Deadlines

UNCW offers three deadlines for applications. Applications are not reviewed or evaluated until they become complete (the application and all credentials have been received). Applicants will receive a decision approximately four to six weeks from the time their application becomes complete and ready for review.

We strongly recommend you apply four to six months before the term you plan to enter the university. Applying after the stated deadlines increase the risk that there will not be enough time needed to process all the required paperwork.

  • Fall - April 1
  • Spring - October 15  Note: Space is extremely limited.
  • Summer - February 1

 

How to Apply

When possible, we strongly encourage the use of an online application (more than 95% of our applicants applied using an online application last year).
