The Office of Military Affairs exists to support you in your academic journey and beyond. Our students represent all branches of military service. We have veterans, active duty service members, reservists, and National Guard members, as well as military/veteran family members. Our students are engaged across campus and online in a variety of academic programs.

Please use the links above to explore our programs and support services. Everyone's situation is different, and we recognize that navigating VA educational benefits and UNCW processes can be challenging. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions (email Melanie Nelson, the Military Student Services Specialist, at nelsonms@uncw.edu).

Here is a campus map showing Visitor Parking Lot M and the Warwick Center, labeled WC. The Military Resource Lounge is located in the Warwick Center across from the cashier windows.

Faculty and Staff Training Retreat 2019

Each year, the Office of Military Affairs hosts a training retreat for faculty and staff. This retreat, in conjunction with our Green Zone training, allows campus representatives to see firsthand what life is like at a military installation. It helps them to build their understanding of what military-affiliated students bring to the higher education environment, as well as of the challenges military-affiliated students face when entering higher education. This understanding paves the way for campus administrators and faculty members to craft policies, design programs, and create initiatives that support our military-affiliated students.
