RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendations are required by some, but not all, programs. Recommendations are completed and must be submitted through the online application. During the application process, applicants will be prompted to enter the names and contact information of their recommenders. Once the recommender information has been saved, an e-mail notification will be sent on the applicant\xc2\x92s behalf, prompting the recommender to complete the form. The application may be submitted prior to recommender completion. Self-monitor the progress from your online application and application checklist.

TEST SCORES

Test Scores dated older than five years are not acceptable. Official scores must be sent directly to the Graduate School at UNCW. Make sure to include your full name, birthdate, and gender on your test scores. Failure to do so may delay the processing of your application. If the exam will be taken at a later date (no later than four weeks prior to the published program deadline) you may enter the date the exam will be taken and submit the application. Please note that official scores still need to be sent to the Graduate School if the exam is taken at a later date.

APPLICATION FEE

A $60 USD (non-transferrable and non-refundable) application fee is due upon submission and is payable by MasterCard or Visa via the online application.

TRANSCRIPTS

The Graduate School requires one (1) official transcript (official transcripts are received in a sealed envelope from the awarding institution or electronically delivered via an approved third party vendor) from each university, college, community college, junior college and high school dual enrollment institution attended. Transfer credit listed on another institution\'s transcript is not acceptable. If you do not request one (1) official transcript from each institution attended, the processing of your application will be delayed.
