Submit your application well before the deadline. This gives us more time to notify you of missing items and ensure your application is complete.

2. Make sure your application is complete
No later than four weeks after you submit your application, we will begin notifying you regularly, by e-mail and through your UNC Portal, of any required credentials that are missing from your file.

3. Check your e-mail and your UNC Portal often
Because we use e-mail and your UNC Portal to advise you of missing items, please check them frequently. We will post your admissions decision on your UNC Portal.

High School Transcripts



Some North Carolina public high schools have the capability to electronically send official high school transcripts when you apply online. We encourage you to visit your school counselor to verify coursework and grades prior to requesting an electronic transcript.

To send an electronic transcript, you must:

  • Complete this online application.
  • Make sure you have entered the following information in your profile and/or application:
    • First and Last name - This must match your NCWISE name (use the name that appears on your report card, or check with your high school counselor).
    • NCWISE Student ID - Your NCWISE Student ID is your North Carolina public high school student identifier number and is only applicable to North Carolina High School students. Providing the NCWISE Student ID is voluntary and if provided, will give you the opportunity to request your high school transcript electronically.
    • Current high school (or high school at time of graduation)
    • Date of birth
    • E-mail address
    • Gender
  • Be currently enrolled, or enrolled at the time of graduation, at a participating public high school in North Carolina that has converted from the SIMS system to NCWISE to manage student data. If you are not sure about your school's current status, or status at the time you graduated, check with your school counselor or office staff.
If these conditions were met when you submitted your application, you will then be presented with the option of sending your high school transcript electronically to that school.
