Upcoming Courses

Spring 2008           Fall 2008           Spring 2009           Summer 2009

Tuition and fees are charged according to campus at which the course is offered (main campus or extension) and not student classification.  When using the SeaNet registration system, please keep in mind that Extension courses are courses with section numbers 800 or higher and a campus of “EXT.”  Only these sections of courses are billed at the Extension tuition rates which are calculated on a per credit hour basis.  All other section numbers are considered on-campus courses and are billed as such.  Tuition and fee rates for both on campus and Extension courses can be found at http://uncw.edu/ba/finance/StudentAccounts/tuition_fees.html

With the exception of GLS 598-800s, all courses on this page are main campus courses and will be billed as such.  Contact the Graduate School Office (910.962.7303) for GRC 600 costs.

If you can't find a main campus GLS course to your liking and don't mind a trip to Camp Lejeune, NC, check the Onslow County page for more offerings.
