Apply to UNCW

Welcome to the University of North Carolina Wilmington’s application manager. You can use this system to apply to UNCW if you are applying as one of the following student types: 

• Transfer: Students who have graduated from high school and enrolled in college courses, served in the military at least two years, or are graduating from a Cooperative Innovative High School (Early College) with their associate's degree. 

• Online Accelerated: Students who are applying to the online accelerated RN-BSN, RRT-BSRT, or Workforce Learning & Development programs only. 

• Re-enrolling: Students who previously attended UNCW as a degree-seeking undergraduate student and are planning to return as either degree-seeking or non-degree-seeking. 

• Special Undergraduate: Students who already have a Bachelor’s degree and are not seeking a second degree. Second-degree students should apply as transfer students. 

• Visiting: Students who are attending another institution and wish to take classes as a non-degree seeking student. 

Please note that your application and all required materials must be received by the deadline for your student type. 

Do not use this application if you are applying as a first-year student to UNCW. If you are currently enrolled in high school, are an early-college high school student or a high school graduate who has not taken any college-level courses, you're considered a First-Year applicant and must apply through Common App. Within 24 hours of submitting the Common App, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions for your first login to your applicant status portal.
