(All applications are viewed the same, UNCW has no preference.)

*Attention freshman applicants*

1. Each application option has both a required short answer question and essay topic(s). If you have previously written an essay following a prompt from the Common Application but have already begun an application using SeaLevel or CFNC, we ask that you provide the topic of your essay, along with your text, in the space allotted.

2. While the system will not prevent completion of an application for spring 2012, this option is only available for international students.

UNCW's Web Application - SeaLevel - All student types
The Common Application - Freshman Only (Domestic & International)
The College Foundation of N.C. - All student types

When possible, we strongly encourage the use of an online application (more than 95% of our applicants applied using an online application last year).

The application fee for all applicant types (with the exception of Summer School applicants) is $60. This application fee is non-refundable.
