After You're Admitted

Access your UNCW Applicant Portal to review your enrollment checklist and upcoming deadlines.

• Declare your intent to enroll for Spring by the July 1 deadline. Completing the intent to enroll form, linked in your decision letter, secures your spot in our Spring First-Year class and allows you to access your next enrollment steps.
• Apply for on-campus Housing. First-Year students admitted for the spring semester are not required to live on campus but have the option. Housing for the spring is available based on space. The Housing application will open in October.
  • UNCW: Living Learning Communities
• Register for your required Orientation. Orientation for spring admits will be in January and registration opens in October.
• Send your Official Final High School Transcript and any Official Records of Advanced Credit (AP, CLEP, IB, all other Credit by Examination, or all Official College Transcripts) by July 15

First-Year Spring Admit (FYSA) students will be provided with a coordinated transition program throughout the fall semester and enjoy the flexibility of choosing how to spend the fall semester. There are no requirements put on FYSA students for the fall, but a number of options are available:

• Academics. If you wish to get a head start on your academics, you can take classes at a community college near home or close to UNCW.
• Internships. Internships are an excellent opportunity to explore a career field. Students are encouraged to find their own (non-credit) internships.
• Work. Some students choose to work full- or part-time in order to save money to help finance college costs
• Study Abroad. Use the fall semester to study abroad with other spring admits through our FYSA in the UK program, which invites FYSA students to earn credits abroad at our partner university in Bangor, Wales, United Kingdom.

Within myUNCW, students can also access their UNCW e-mail, calendar, and read about campus news and events. If you have trouble logging in or using the tools in myUNCW, contact the Technology Assistance Center (TAC).

• Visit UNCW for an official campus tour if you have not already. If you are not able to physically visit campus, check out our virtual tour offerings:
  • UNCW Main Tour
  • UNCW Housing
• Remember to check your UNCW e-mail often, as important communication from various UNCW departments will be sent there, including UNCW financial aid award packages.
• If you have questions about attending UNCW, you can find more information here:
  • Transition Programs (Orientation)
  • Housing and Residence Life
  • Center for Academic Advising (Advising)
  • Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid

If you are not planning to attend UNCW during the term for which you applied, please withdraw your application.

You may do so by completing the Decision Reply form within your UNCW Applicant Portal. Completion of this form withdraws your application from the university, rescinding any offer of admission as well.
