Meet Your Support Team
The UNCW online degree programs that focus on degree completion offer unparalleled support designed to replicate our connected campus experience. From your first inquiry through graduation, each person on your dedicated success team is meant to remove barriers, provide structure and keep you on track to finish.
Your Enrollment Team
Your first connection to UNCW, your admissions representative guides you through the entire enrollment process, from navigating the application and reviewing transfer credits to outlining financial aid and key requirements. They provide straightforward guidance and structured timelines to keep you on track.
Your Success Coach
Your success coach takes up where your admissions representative leaves off. They are with you from enrollment through graduation, providing regular check-ins, personalized planning and ongoing support. They help you navigate each term, overcome challenges and keep progressing toward completion.
Your Faculty
UNCW faculty members are accessible and involved, offering guidance, feedback and real connection throughout your courses. In small, focused classes, they get to know your goals and help you work toward them, so you’re supported not just in what you learn, but in how you move forward.
I work with each student to build a clear plan all the way to graduation, so they know exactly where they’re headed and how to get there. But it’s more than just a plan. I stay connected with them throughout the process by checking in, following up, and helping them navigate challenges as they come.

As a UNCW student, you’ll also tap into the full university ecosystem, including financial aid, University Library Services and Disability Resources.
