Visit Campus!

The Office of Admissions invites you and your family to visit UNCW's main campus to explore one of the most beautiful campuses in the South and first-hand from a current Seahawk about the unique academic opportunities and tight-knit community.

First Year

UNCW uses a holistic approach to review transfer students' applications and will consider several aspects of your application in making our admission decision.

To be considered for admission to UNCW, first-year applicants must meet minimum course requirements (MCR) established by the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina System. Any student not meeting MCR will not be considered for admission.
