English Language Center
UNCW’s English Language Center offers courses in reading, writing, speaking, and listening, to non-native speakers of English. Students receive 20 hours of instruction per week. This intensive English program emphasizes Academic preparation. UNCW’s Conditional Admission policy allows students who wish to start a degree to transition smoothly into degree programs once they have completed the highest level of the ELC program successfully. The ELC Program is best suited for students who have at least a basic foundation of English.

Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS)
The Office of International Students & Scholars fosters globalization at UNCW by recruiting, admitting, welcoming, advising, supporting, engaging, and advocating for UNCW’s community of international students and scholars. OISS builds partnerships with overseas partners to attract international students to UNCW and fosters relationships with advisers, counsellors, agents, and governmental agencies to increase the international student and scholar population on campus. OISS provides transition support that addresses the unique needs of international students and scholars; ensures institutional compliance with federal immigration regulations for foreign students, visiting scholars, and employees on our visa sponsorship (F, J, H, and LPR); coordinates events and programs that engage international students with the broader community to promote a global culture throughout our campus; and serves the broader campus community in an administrative and advisory capacity.
