Welcome to the land of the

Military Seahawk!

*Notice: Please review the Weather Alert from UNCW and stay safe.

*Notice: The Office of Military Affairs has moved to our new location in Veterans Hall. Our space occupancy is limited due to COVID-19 social distancing requirements. Please plan to follow the "Best for the Nest" guidance concerning the Fall 2020 semester, and always have a mask available when you plan to be on campus.

Students may continue to email Office of Military Affairs staff to schedule meetings in person or over Zoom. When dropping by the Office of Military Affairs, you must check in at the front desk, and please be prepared to wait in the Veterans Hall lobby if we have reached the maximum occupancy level for our space.

Please review the Chancellor's message concerning the Accountability Committee to Advance Diversity and Inclusion. The Office of Military Affairs recognizes the challenges faced by Black students, students of color, students with disabilities, students in the LGBTQIA community, and students in other marginalized populations, and we will continue to promote the ideals and standards of behavior found in the Seahawk Respect Compact. For more information about the demographic breakdown of the population of military-affiliated students at UNCW, please visit the Institutional Data Dashboards.

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 buttons above and below 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 militaryaffairs@uncw.edu).
