Tuition Surcharge
Catalogue Change: 11/18/19
A bill to repeal the tuition surcharge in NC, NC - S225, was enacted by the NC legislature in July, 2019. The undergraduate catalogue was amended to remove language regarding the surcharge from the University Regulations, Expenses, and Enrichment Programs sections of the catalogue.
University Regulations:
All new undergraduates seeking a baccalaureate degree at the University of North Carolina Wilmington will be subjected to a 50% tuition surcharge if they take more than 140 credit hours to complete a four-year degree program or more than 110% of the required credit hours to complete an officially designated five-year program. For details concerning counted credit hours, students subject to the surcharge, students exempt from the surcharge, and the way that the surcharge is calculated, see the preceding catalogue section on Expenses, subsection, Tuition Surcharge or online at http://www.uncw.edu/reg/tuitionSurch-overview.htm.
Expenses:
After the fixed tuition period has expired, tuition surcharge shall be applied according to current regulation 1000.1.5 [R].
Students who take more than 140 degree credit hours to complete a baccalaureate degree in a four-year program, or more than 110 percent of the credit hours necessary to complete a baccalaureate degree in any program officially designated by the Board of Governors as a five-year program, shall be subject to a 50 percent tuition charge.
Note: The State Scholarship Program for Children of War Veterans administered by the North Carolina Division of Veterans Affairs will not cover the 50% tuition surcharge. Responsibility for the surcharge would be placed on the student.
Summer Sessions:
Summer Sessions constitutes an integral part of the university’s year-round program. The principal academic terms of summer are two five-week sessions and one ten-week session. A variety of courses are offered for students who wish to accelerate their progress toward graduation, to supplement the academic load carried during the regular terms, or to remove grade deficiencies. During the summer sessions, students from other colleges and universities may be admitted as visitors by using the “Visiting Student” application on the Summer Sessions web page. Undergraduate students may earn a maximum of 8 credit hours per session, and graduate students may earn up to 12 credit hours during the entire summer term. Credit hours earned during the summer are excluded from the fifty percent (50%) tuition surcharge imposed on students who take more than 140 credit hours to complete a baccalaureate degree in a four-year program. Further information concerning the summer sessions may be obtained by visiting the Summer Sessions web page at www.uncw.edu/summer/.
