Admission Requirements:
If you left the University of North Carolina Wilmington for ONE semester, AND you were in good academic standing when you left, then you do not need to submit a re-enrollment application. A re-enrollment application is required when you have been away for two consecutive semesters. There are other specific conditions for re-enrolling that are outlined in the Undergraduate Catalogue.
- Apply by May 1 for summer semesters, June 1 for fall semester, and December 1 for spring semester.
- Complete and submit the online re-enrollment application (through the link below).
- Pay the $60 application fee (fee is waived for UNC Wilmington graduates) (UNC Wilmington faculty and staff may check with Human Resources to see if you are eligible for the Application Fee Benefit).
- Contact Student Accounts and Student Health and Wellness to remove any financial or student health holds from your record.
- Submit official transcripts if you attended another college or university since attending UNC Wilmington. (You must have maintained a 2.0 on a 4.0 scale on all work attempted at other institutions).
- Prior to registering for classes, make an appointment for advising. See registration for re-enrolling students for more details.

Previously Academically Ineligible
For students who have been declared academically ineligible, your re-admission application for fall and spring terms must be reviewed by the Committee on Academic Reinstatement. To be considered for re-admission you must petition the committee below, submitting the following:
- Complete the re-enrollment application.
- Submit a one page letter that addresses what hindered your previous academic performance, the strategies and actions taken while away from the university to improve and strengthen your academic abilities, and how your performance will be different upon return.
- Submit an academic plan of courses to be taken immediately and over the following semester.
The requested information must be submitted by March 1 for the fall semester and October 1 for the spring semester. Your petition materials should be addressed to:
Committee on Academic Reinstatement
111 Alderman Hall – Academic Affairs
UNCW Box 5900
Wilmington, NC 28403
The Committee on Academic Reinstatement meets once in March and again in October. The results of the review will be passed on to the Office of the Registrar with a determination of the acceptance, or rejection, of the applicants depending upon their potential for academic success. Academically ineligible students may enroll in any summer session.
