Transfer Admission - Deadlines & Applying

Deadlines

UNCW offers two deadlines for applications. Applications are not reviewed or evaluated until all application items have been received.

• Summer / Fall - March 1
  The application deadline has been extended. UNCW will continue to accept applications and issue decisions on a space available basis. Apply Today!
  
  
• Spring - October 15
  Admission for the Spring semester is competitive and limited; students are encouraged to have a secondary plan of action when pursuing spring transfer admission to UNCW.

How to Apply

There are two methods of applying to UNCW: Online or with a paper application. Last year, more than 95% of our applicants elected to apply Online. We strongly encourage you to apply Online via SeaLevel.

• SeaLevel (Online)
  If you have not created a SeaLevel account, click here to do so.
  Log-in to your SeaLevel account and click on “Apply to UNCW” and then on “Online Application”. The SeaLevel application will allow you to save your information at any point and continue at a later date prior to submission.
  
  
• CFNC (Online)
  Alternately, students may elect to apply Online to UNCW via the College Foundation of North Carolina at www.cfnc.org. This will require that you register for an account with CFNC.
  
  
• Paper Application (PDF)
  Some students may elect to access the paper version of the application from our website, print and mail it. In an effort to protect our environment, we no longer print any paper applications, so it is the applicants responsibility to print the application and materials on their own.

Application Process

In addition to submitting the application for admission, there are additional items both you and your current institution will submit.
