Undergraduate students admitted as first time, first year students may declare and be accepted into a major field of study after completing a minimum of 24 semester hours at the university. After one semester of enrollment, first time, first year students who have earned 30 or more credit hours including UNCW and transfer credit may declare their major with permission from the Director of Center for Academic Advising.
Undergraduate students admitted as transfer students are required to select a major or a pre-major at the time of admission to UNCW. Advising of transfer students is done within the chosen major field or Center for Academic Advising when appropriate.
In unique situations and with permission of both the Director of Center for Academic Advising and the Dean of the receiving College or School or designee, a student may declare their major before the end of their first semester. Colleges, schools, departments, and programs with admission requirements have a pre-major, and that academic unit provides discipline-specific advice. Students accepted into a pre-major status are expected to complete full admission requirements for the major within three semesters.
