Academic Advising & Course Registration

Academic advising is not available for Special Undergraduate students. If the course you wish to enroll in has pre-requisites, it is the student's responsibility to work with the Department to obtain the necessary override to enroll in the course. Students working toward teacher certification or teacher licensure are encouraged to contact the the Watson Academic Advising Center at watsonadvising@uncw.edu

Upon admission to UNCW as a Special Undergraduate student, students may then register for classes by accessing SeaNet. For more information on class registration please visit the Office of the Registrar.

Transfer of Credit

Transcripts of work completed at UNCW must be requested through the Office of the Registrar.
