The University of North Carolina Wilmington is committed to and will provide equality of educational and employment opportunity for all persons regardless of race, gender, gender identity, sex (such as marital status or pregnancy), age, color, national origin (including ethnicity), religion, disability, sexual orientation, genetic information, political affiliation, veteran status or relationship to other university constituents—except where a protected status represents a bona fide educational or occupational qualification or where marital status is a statutorily established eligibility criterion for state-funded employee benefit programs.


Expenses

Catalogue Change 10/9/2015:

Counted Credit Hours:

The undergraduate credit hours to be counted for this requirement include: (1) all regular session degree-creditable courses taken at UNCW, including repeated courses, failed courses, withdrawals, and those dropped after the last date to add a course; and (2) transfer credit hours accepted from other UNC institutions, North Carolina community colleges, and private and out-of-state colleges and universities. However, this calculation excludes the following credit hours: (1) those earned through the College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) or similar programs; (2) those earned through institutional advanced placement, course validation, or any similar procedure for awarding course credit; and (3) those earned through the summer session or degree-credit extension division at UNCW or at another UNC institution. ; and (4) transfer credit from private North Carolina institutions, out-of-state and international institutions.


Scholarships and Financial Aid (OSFA)

Cataloge Change 10/20/2015:

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for Financial Aid Eligibility

2. Quantitative Measure Defined: (Hours Earned Compared to Hours Attempted)

  • To earn hours at UNCW, one must receive a grade of A, B, C, or D (including “+” or “-“). All other grades, including F, I, W, WE, WF, WP, Z or AU do not earn hours.
  • Classes from which a student withdraws after the drop/add period count as attempted but not earned hours. Therefore, withdrawing from classes after the drop/add period negatively affects students’ ability to satisfy the hours earned standard. (Also see Policy on Return of Title IV Funds)
  • Financial aid recipients should report grade changes to the OSFA in order to reassess financial aid eligibility.
  • When students repeat a course, the total attempted hours increase with each repeat, but the student may only earn hours for each successfully completed course once. Therefore, repeating courses may negatively affect students’ ability to meet the SAP standard and complete 67 75 percent of attempted hours. (Also see Repeating Courses using Financial Aid).
  • Audited hours (AU) do not count toward graduation and students may not receive financial aid for audited courses.
  • Accepted transfer credit counts as both attempted and earned hours, BUT are only used to calculate maximum timeframe to complete the student’s program/degree.

3.The quantitative measure for all students can be summarized as the total number of credit hours successfully completed divided by the total number of credit hours actually attempted. This includes grades of A, B, C, D, F, I, IP, W, WE, WF, NR, Z and P.

Students must complete 67 percent of all attempted hours, including transfer hours.

It is recommended students attempt to earn at least 31 hours per academic year in order to graduate in four years.


University Regulations

Catalogue Correction 1/28/16:

Auditing

The auditing of courses without credit is approved by special permission of the Office of the Registrar and of the instructor involved. Individuals not regularly enrolled as students in the university who wish to audit courses will be classified as special students and will be required to pay regular tuition and fees. Auditing by special students is restricted to classroom-based courses only. No distance education or computer-based courses may be audited by special students. These individuals must complete all registration and any other administrative processes in person at the Office of the Registrar. University students with regular status will be permitted to audit courses and must pay the same tuition and fees required for credit courses. See also Repeating of Courses.


Catalogue Correction 12/22/15:

Insufficient Academic Progress

An undergraduate is automatically placed on academic warning, if the undergraduate does not meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).

  • Satisfactory academic progress is generally defined as completing 67% of all attempted hours (excluding transfer hours) towards the completion of his or her degree program.  This is determined by dividing the number of credit hours successfully completed, defined as having earned a D- or better, by the total number of credit hours actually attempted.
  • When a student is placed on Insurfficient Academic Progress, it is the responsibility of the student to arrange regular meetings with his or her academic advisor or department chair/director to consider specific academic intervention strategies.

Students should refer to the Scholarship and Financial Aid (OSFA) section related to Policy on Return of Title IV Funds for information about how academic warning impacts financial aid eligibility.

Academic Probation

An undergraduate is automatically placed on academic probation when the cumulative GPA drops below 2.0. or if the undergraduate does not meet the standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).

  • Students who fall within the academic probation category at the end of any semester will be limited to enrolling in no more than 14 hours in the following semester.
  • Satisfactory academic progress is generally defined as completing 67% of all attempted hours (excluding transfer hours) towards the completion of his or her degree program. This is determined by dividing the number of credit hours successfully completed, defined as having earned a D- or better, by the total number of credit hours actually attempted.
  • When a student is placed on academic probation, it is the responsibility of the student to arrange regular meetings with his or her academic advisor or department chair/director to consider specific academic intervention strategies.
