Amanda Parkstone

Transfer and Military Admissions CoordinatorSlide2

Military Admission

A

ctive

duty and veterans who

have served

two or more

years

apply as transfer students (even if they have little or

no

traditional college credit) by allowing their military

training/experience

to count as transfer credit. 

Application fee is waived for current active duty members of the military.

Military Transcripts are required as part of the application process (Joint Services Transcript/CCAF)

No traditional college credit? Start in University College with a military specific transfer advisor

Traditional college credit? Still required to meet minimum GPA standard for admission.

Not admissible based on MCR’s or college GPA? Admissions Contract and Education PlanSlide3

Credit Evaluation

Active duty and Veterans may transfer up to 93 credits and can include military credit and credit by examination (AP, IB, CLEP, DANTES)

1. Visit our

Transfer Credit Equivalents website

2. Select “Military-Americas” from the first drop down box

3. Military Credit (

MC

from the second drop down

box)

 

UNCW awards either departmental elective or general elective credit as applicable for military training and experience reported on military transcripts. 

The

university physical education requirement is waived based on basic or recruit training.Slide4

Military Tuition Benefit

If you are active-duty or military dependent and you do not qualify as a resident for tuition purposes, you may still be eligible for the Military Tuition Benefit

.

Under this special North Carolina statute, members of the armed services stationed in North Carolina on active duty and their dependents may be eligible to pay a reduced tuition rate which is equivalent to the in-state tuition rate

.

You must file a special application

for

the benefit that includes an affidavit on official letterhead confirming active military status and duty station and military dependent status if applicableSlide5

VA Education Benefits

UNCW’s VA certifying official:

Shannon Miles

miless@uncw.edu

If you will be using your Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits, the maximum amount approved by the VA for North Carolina public universities is sufficient to cover

in-state tuition and

fees

but NOT out-of-state charges

We can help you get your bill figured out and help you defer your payment if you have financial aid or VA benefits waiting.

We can help you get your books if you are waiting on your financial aid or VA benefits to pay out

In order to place any type of hold on your account, our office must have all VA documents in your file.Slide6
