Building Competencies Requirements (Writing Intensive & Information Literacy)
By default, no transfer course counts towards the competency requirements. If a transfer course has been reviewed and approved by the Petition for Competency process, a flag of "WI" or "IL" appears below, next to the course. Courses without a "WI" or "IL" flag may still be eligible for competency credit via petition. Transfer students should retain materials from courses taken at other institutions, and talk to their UNCW advisors about this possibility.

The University of North Carolina Wilmington participates in the advanced placement programs of the Educational Testing Service (ETS) by awarding academic credit to students who achieve acceptable scores on those examinations determined to have a UNC Wilmington course equivalent. For students who excel in certain subject areas, college freshman level course work may be repetitious. Thus, in an effort to alleviate duplication at the university level, to promote academic motivation and to provide assistance toward educational goals, qualified students are encouraged to take advantage of credit-by-examination opportunities offered through Advanced Placement, College Level Examination Programs, International Baccalaureate, Dantes Subject Standardized Tests, and Cambridge International Examinations.
Don't See Your Course Listed?
UNCW has evaluated the catalogues of many but not all institutions. Additionally, UNCW accepts all college-level credit from institutionally accredited educational providers. If you do not see your school or course listed, it means that we have not evaluated it. If you are a prospective student, and you’d like to request an unofficial transfer credit evaluation prior to applying, please contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@uncw.edu for assistance.
