Waivers

No re-enrolling fee when you return from active duty

Students who leave UNCW when called for active duty should present their orders to the Office of the Dean of Students. There should be no fee involved when you return as a student to UNCW.

Additional Course Credit

Some students receive additional course credit for military and/or transfer courses. Contact your department chair for more information.

Priority Parking

Students on active duty are entitled to a priority parking assignment at the main UNCW campus. Registration for parking is still required and should be done early.

PED 101 Waiver for UNCW Military Students

Students who are currently serving in the U.S. military and veterans who served for two or more years will receive a waiver for PED 101 at UNCW. Students should be instructed to provide a military transcript to the Admissions office with their application to UNCW, or to the Registrar’s office if they have already been admitted.

Many military veterans also receive elective credit hours for Basic Training, depending on their transcripts. These transcripts are available to Army veterans from the following website: http://aarts.army.mil and for Navy and Marines from the following website: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil/ (click on Smart College Credit).

In August 2006, the Registrar's Office and the Health and Applied Human Sciences Department agreed to automatically grant a waiver for PED 101 for military veterans. This is included in the 2007-2008 UNCW Catalogue on page 116. Students do not have to report to the HAHS Department. They only need to present the transcript to the Admissions Office when they apply or to the Registrar if they are already enrolled. Awarding of credit hours as recommended by the American Council on Education should also be granted, though this varies for each branch of the military. Please help other students to understand we do not actually reward credit for the PED 101, the waiver just fulfills that graduation requirement. However, we do award the hours ACE recommends as general elective credit that will go toward the 124 semester hours needed to graduate.
