ACCEPTED FIRST YEAR STUDENTS are invited to attend the University of North Carolina Wilmington’s Spring Visit Day, Soaring to Greatness, on Saturday, April 5, 2008.  Join us for a very informative day that will answer your questions about becoming a Seahawk!

• a Parent Information session
• an academic and student services fair in which you can speak with departmental representatives

The formal program concludes at 1:00 p.m.  Beginning at 1:00 p.m., optional sessions offered will include:

• tours of the campus and residence halls
• a general session on financial aid
• a Next Steps session in which you may pay your enrollment deposit (if you haven’t already done so) and submit forms for housing, orientation and student health. 

 

Light refreshments and beverages will be available during the day.

Please note that we are expecting a big crowd, so we encourage you to carpool if possible.
