Advanced Placement

The Advanced Placement (AP) program administered by the College Board provides qualified high school students the opportunity to take college-level courses on the high school campus. The courses are taught by high school teachers and culminate with a three-hour standardized examination.

CLEP


Credit earned through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) at a Florida public institution prior to initial enrollment at UNF will receive equivalent transfer credit. CLEP scores for which credit is not awarded at another Florida public institution will be evaluated on the basis of national norms in accordance with the statewide articulation agreement.

By presenting appropriate CLEP general examination scores, students may earn as many as 30 semester hours of credit. The UNF Office of Admissions will determine the applicability of these credits toward completion of general education requirements. For additional information, contact your high school guidance counselor.

Early Admission


The Early Admission Program provides opportunities for talented students to enroll in college prior to high school graduation. Students who wish to apply for early admission at UNF must be recommended by appropriate high school officials.

Early admission allows students who have completed the 11th grade in high school to enroll full time at UNF.

In order to qualify for early admission, a student must have:
  • completed a minimum of six semesters at the high school level in grades 9-11 and 18 high school credits
  • demonstrated ability to excel in advanced level course work
  • achieved a 1200 on the SAT or a 28 on the ACT and a minimum weighted 3.5 GPA
  • submitted a completed Terms of Agreement form provided by UNF with all of the necessary signatures and specific courses listed as to what the high school will accept for graduation
  • completed a freshman application, health form, submitted a high school transcript with test scores, and an application fee
  • no admission exceptions for missing units or need English, math, or reading remediation
The student earns college credit and satisfies high school graduation requirements. Credit earned through these programs with grades of C or better may be used in degree programs at UNF. For additional information, contact your high school guidance counselor.
