All UNCW graduate students have free access to the university's Student Health Center, which includes the Counseling Center, Disability Services, and the Crossroads substance abuse program. Many services at the health center are covered by student fees, while others (including many medical tests and prescriptions from the pharmacy) are offered at dramatically reduced rates.

All students (even those who receive funding) are responsible for covering their own student insurance & required immunizations, parking permits, and the student ID card fee.

Distance Education Students must check with the Student Health Center regarding immunization and health insurance requirements.

Graduate Student Association (GSA): The GSA supports all graduate students academically and socially, and promotes the interests and welfare of graduate students within the university.

Code of Student Life: The rules and regulations for UNCW students can be found in the Code of Student Life. We have an expectation that our students will read it and become familiar with our community standards - we want them to know and understand the Code.

PERCH services are provided by the Office of the Dean of Students to contribute to the successful transition and university engagement of off-campus, non-traditional, graduate.  PERCH can assist with:

• On-campus and off-campus housing search
• Educational opportunities
• Connecting students with UNCW and Wilmington resources/arranging opportunities for community development
• Personal support
