Military Admission - Support Services

Deployed or Called to Active Duty

If you are active-duty military and are deployed or are a member of the National Guard or Reserves and are called to active duty after being admitted but before classes begin we will defer the offer of admission to a future term. You will receive another acceptance package for the new start term. We request that a copy of the student's orders be provided for our records, but this is not required. Please contact Ann Marie Beall, Associate Director of Admissions at 910.962.7038 or bealla@uncw.edu.

If you are active-duty military and are deployed or are a member of the National Guard or Reserves and are called to active duty after being admitted and after classes begin please refer to the process through the Office of the Registrar.

Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC)

UNCW is a member of SOC, a consortium of over 1,800 institutions pledged to be reasonable in working with active-duty personnel and veterans trying to earn degrees while pursuing demanding, transient careers. The university supports the SOC principles and criteria as a framework for policies that are fair, equitable and effective in recognizing the special conditions faced by military students and their family members.

SOC is sponsored by fifteen higher education associations with the military services, the National Guard Bureau, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense serving as cooperative agencies.  Participating institutions within the SOC program may agree to guarantee transferability of courses according to pre-approved tables developed within specific SOC Degree Program Networks. UNCW is a participating member in the following networks: SOCMAR (Marine Corps) four-year and the SOCNAV (Navy) four-year network for the Bachelor of Arts degree in elementary education and the Bachelor of Arts degree in criminal justice. The significance of this participation is that designated courses are pre-approved and guaranteed to be accepted, in transfer, by other institutions participating in the network. As recommended by the SOC program, UNCW extends these guarantees to veterans, retired military and adult family members of military personnel attending classes at our extended campus sites.

For more information on the SOC program please contact the UNCW Onslow Extension Site Office at 910.455.2310.
