Adult Students
UNCG encourages qualified adult students
to complete their undergraduate degrees.
Persons who have been away from formal schooling for at least twelve (12) consecutive months at any time may apply
for consideration as freshman or transfer students, even though they may not meet traditional admission requirements.
They must have completed high school, an adult high school diploma, or earned a GED.
If they are under 24 years of age, they must have fulfilled the UNC-System
Minimum
High School Course Requirements or a required sequence of college transfer course work to be eligible for consideration.
Some adult students may be admitted for full-time course work, some may have their hours limited to promote academic
success, and some may be advised first to complete preparatory course work elsewhere. An interview with an Admissions
advisor may be required.
Priority consideration applications for nontraditional adult students (including all required credentials) are due by March 1 for the fall semester or October 1 for the spring semester. The final application deadlines are August 1 (space permitting) for the fall semester or December 1 (space permitting) for the spring semester.
- Complete the UNCG application form
and return it to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions with the application fee no later than August 1 for fall
or December 1 for spring.
- Submit official transcripts for the secondary school attended (and GED scores
or adult high school diploma, if applicable) and from any post-secondary institution(s) attended, even those
granting summer, extension, developmental, and technical credit.
Applicants will be notified of a decision as soon as possible. Admitted students should confirm their intention
to enroll by confirming online in their SpartanLink portal within
four weeks from the date of acceptance if possible. Confirmation of late acceptance must be made by the registration
deadline. Before enrolling, students must submit an immunization form (found in the UNCG Enrollment Checklist) to the UNCG Student
Health Services in Gove Student Health Center.
