Online Orientation

Steps to Success

In the UNCW Applicant Portal, find your login ID and initial password in the green box titled “First Time Logging In?” on the right sidebar. Follow the password instructions carefully! Make sure to use your full UNCW email address when logging in. For help, refer to How do I Log In to My UNCW Account for the First Time?

If your password does not work after 24 hours, please submit a Report an issue with your UNCW Account service request.

Your student account may take up to 24 business hours to activate after viewing your decision letter. If applicable, pay your enrollment deposit to the Admissions Office by the required deadline. You can pay online through your UNCW Applicant Portal.
Below the congratulations message, you will find a link to pay the $20 orientation fee. After payment, return to the portal to view the Enrollment Checklist at the bottom of the screen.
Click the link to Register for your Required Online Orientation in the Enrollment Checklist. The registration form is simple: just check a box to confirm your information and click submit. Then, return to the portal.
Click the link to Complete your Online Orientation that now appears in the Enrollment Checklist. Select “I’m A UNCW Student” and log in with your UNCW credentials (850#). The online orientation is self-paced, and you can come back to finish it anytime using the “Returning” section on the orientation log in screen.

Your advisor will contact you once they have been notified of your orientation completion. They will provide you with a Time Ticket and PIN after your advising appointment.

If you are unsure who your advisor is, visit UNCW’s Advising page for more information.
