What is the Seahawk Success Program?

The Seahawk Success Program has been developed to help former students come back and finish their degrees at UNCW. A benefit to this program is that before you formally re-apply, you can meet with a Seahawk Success Advisor to make the process easier and answer your initial questions. The Seahawk Success Advisor can help determine the best degree completion pathway for you.

To qualify for the Seahawk Success Program, you must:

Have been previously enrolled as a degree-seeking student at UNCW
Have completed at least 70 hours of college credit
Have been away from UNCW for at least one year
Be in good academic, disciplinary, and financial standing

Do you wish to continue in your previous major, or are you interested in pursuing a different degree/career path?
When you might want to return to school.
Taking classes full time or part-time?
