Graduate Courses Taken for Undergraduate Credit

Graduate courses at UNCW or other accredited institutions may be used to fulfill undergraduate requirements if approved by the course instructor, student’s department chair, undergraduate dean, and the dean of the Graduate School. All other transfer credit policies apply. Permission forms may be obtained on the Graduate School forms page under the “Undergraduate Registration for Graduate Courses” section at https://uncw.edu/myuncw/academics/graduate-school/forms

Graduate Course Taken as an Undergraduate to Later Apply to a Graduate Degree

Undergraduate students who wish to take graduate courses and later receive graduate credit for them must fill out a Docusign to obtain permission in advance from the course instructor, student’s department chair and undergraduate dean, and the Graduate School for approval. Graduate courses taken under this provision may not be used to fulfill undergraduate degree requirements. Permission forms may be obtained on the Graduate School form page under the “Undergraduate Registration for Graduate Courses” section https://uncw.edu/myuncw/academics/graduate-school/forms

Credit for Approved Combined Degree Programs

Graduate courses used to fulfill an undergraduate degree requirement at UNCW may be applied to a graduate degree only when taken as part of an approved combined degree program. Courses applied toward an awarded degree may not be applied to a second degree except as described by specific degree programs.
