Admission – Visiting Students

Students from other colleges or universities who intend to return to their home institution may attend UNCW as visiting students. The university does not assume responsibility for determining a student’s course selection when such credits are to be transferred elsewhere. Transcripts of work completed at UNCW must be requested through the Office of the Registrar to assure a record of academic work is sent to the home institution of the visiting student. Enrollment as a visiting student from another institution in no way obligates the university to continue a student’s enrollment at UNCW at the expiration of the visiting period. All application deadline dates apply to visiting students.

Students should apply as a visiting student using the non-degree seeking undergraduate application, submit the non-refundable application fee, and an official transcript from their current or most recently attended college or university. Visiting students must be in good academic standing at their current or most recently attended institution and have attained at least a 2.50 cumulative GPA with 24 transferable credit hours complete at the time of application to be considered for admission. A student may only attend as a visiting student for two consecutive semesters (not including summer session).
