UNCW is dedicated to supporting the success of each and every student by providing a variety of on-campus resources including admissions, financial aid & scholarships, counseling, disability services, health services, career services, tutoring and other academic support services. On-campus services extend to our students whether they are enrolled in online courses or a classroom setting.
- UNCW Military Affairs: The Office of Military Affairs, housed within UNCW's Office of the Provost, collaborates with academic and university departments to provide support services to military-affiliated students transitioning into UNCW.
