UNCW CARE intervenes on a broad spectrum of violent behaviors, including sexual assault, relationship abuse, stalking and harassment. We offer a comprehensive variety of violence prevention and relationship education programs, trainings and educational campaigns to the UNCW campus.
We respond to students who have been victimized, as well as those affected by someone else's experience with abuse or assault, by providing supportive services, including crisis response, individual advocacy and coordination with both on-campus and off-campus resources.

The goal of the Counseling Center is to assist enrolled students in maximizing their success at UNCW and in life.

Our mission is to foster a respectful and dynamic community that affirms the value and contributions of each individual, and empowers student success.

Parking & Transportation Services manages the university's parking resources and facilitates the use of alternative transportation methods including providing shuttle services to, from and around campus. We are committed to a safe campus environment for pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers.
The mission of the Abrons Student Health Center (SHC) is to provide student-centered, affordable, quality health and preventive service to the students of UNCW. Made up of four parts:
- Medical Services
- Pharmacy
- Health Promotion
We work collaboratively to best help students maintain wellness and make healthy lifestyle decisions while at UNCW. The Abrons Student Health Center is on the second floor of DePaolo Hall.
The University Learning Center is committed to being a vital part of UNCW students' education. Our academic support services are based on the principle that quality learning takes place when peers work collaboratively to develop knowledge and build skills.
The University Learning Center provides students a learning environment and experience that differs from the classroom; we focus on high-quality individual, small-group and large-group student-centered and student-led learning.
Hawk's Harvest is UNCW's food pantry for students who are experiencing food insecurity. The goal of Hawk's Harvest is to make sure no Seahawk goes hungry.
Open to all enrolled Seahawks, students can select their food items from the shelves. Pantry items include an expanded selection of your favorite pantry items, as well as toiletries. There is also a small selection of refrigerated and frozen items. The items vary so ask about this week's features when you stop in.
