13. Some Common Mistakes Failing to accumulate 124 credit hours
Repeating a course for which credit was previously earned (D- or better) will NOT result in additional hours of credit
2) Failing to properly transfer credits from other schools
Students who take courses at other institutions while enrolled at UNCW MUST complete a transient study form to ensure that a transcript of your completed course work is sent to the UNCW Registrar’s office.
Students may transfer up to 93 hours (no more than 64 of which can come from a 2 yr institution)
No transfer credit is given for grades of C- or lower
Grades earned at other institutions DO NOT impact your UNCW G.P.A.
3) Failing to plan for the Research Methods Sequence
Students must earn passing grades in MAT 111 (or higher, excluding MAT 141/142), STT 215, SOC/CRM 300; SOC/CRM 301 and -- depending on your track --the culminating capstone courses, seminars, and/or practica) . These courses MAY NOT be taken concurrently
Failing to register for graduation
Students MUST apply for graduation. Check the registrar’s webpage for graduation application deadline and application form.
