Why do I need a
program of study?
The program of study is a signed
contract agreement between the Coggin College of Business

guidelines for students to follow to ensure their success
in obtaining their undergraduate or graduate degrees. The
University of North Florida requires that all degree-seeking
students have a signed program of study for their major.

appointment times will also be posted in myWings, typically
one month before the end of the semester.

What is a wait
list and how does it work?
A wait list is a computer driven
list of students who want into a closed class. The wait
list allows for the fair distribution of available class
spaces after the class has initially closed. For

the Records & Registration webpage (CLICK

How do I get permission
for a directed independent study?
Students may pick up the appropriate
form from the departmental offices or the Student Service
Center. Forms are to be completed by the student and the
faculty member directing the independent study. It is the
student’s responsibility to arrange with the professor
the course title and course specifications required. These
specifications must include how the study is to be evaluated
for a grade. After the appropriate signatures are obtained
(student, faculty member, department chairperson, and Associate
Dean if a graduate course is involved), the form should be
submitted to the Student Service Center (Room 2021 of Building
42). If all the appropriate requirements are met including
student eligibility, electronic permission is given by the
Director of the Student Service Center. Students are notified
of the approval or disapproval by email.

How do I apply
to graduate?
Apply with the Registrar's office
on line at the beginning of the term you plan to finish your
classes. After you apply, the advising offices will check
and verify that you are in fact ready to graduate and will
notify you if there is a problem.
top

is 620-2665.
top
How can I check
my grades?

off myWings and
verified by the Registrar's office for reimbursement reasons.
top
Will I be required
to take a certain amount of coursework each semester?
No. Students can go at their
own pace as long as they do not need to be full-time for
athletic eligibility, financial aid, or other reasons. UNF
defines full-time enrollment as completing 12 semester hours
per term for Undergraduates and 9 semester hours per term
for Graduates. Students must complete their program of study
course work within a six-year window. Therefore, students
may need to look at their enrollment pace to ensure that
program of study coursework can be completed within this
six-year window and stay under their original program of
study course requirements.
top
Do you offer online
classes?
No, UNF uses blended learning.
Our faculty feel that students learn best from classroom
interaction with both the instructor and other class members
present.
top
Can I take classes
at another institution once I enroll in the
Coggin College of Business at UNF?
Once students matriculate to
the Coggin College of Business at UNF, they are expected
to complete their course work at UNF. Under special circumstances,
students may request to take course work at another institution.
The process is to complete a petition to waive university
policy and a concurrent enrollment form and to furnish documentation
of the special circumstances. A College committee then makes
a decision on a case by case basis.

How do I return
to UNF if I have been suspended from the Coggin College
of Business?
First Time Suspension
Students who are returning after their
first suspension have not broken continuous enrollment and
should write a letter to the department chair of their major
area of study. This letter should detail the reasons for
the suspension and list a specific action plan that the student
plans to accomplish in order to improve his/her academic
status. Students should then make an appointment with their
academic advisor at least eight weeks before the beginning
of the semester for which they wish to return. This appointment
is necessary to process the necessary paperwork for readmission.
Students should take the letter mentioned above with them
to their advising appointment.
Students who have
Broken Continuous Enrollment
Students in this category must reapply
at the Admissions Office at least 12 weeks before the beginning
of the term for which they are seeking reenrollment. Readmission
is not automatic. Once the college makes a decision on
the student’s request, students are notified of the
decision by mail. Students who are readmitted are sent
specific instructions on their readmission conditions and
given specific procedures to follow so that registration
can take place in a timely manner. The reapplication deadline
is strictly enforced by the college.
top
What happens if
I’m placed on academic probation?
Students placed on academic probation
are strongly encouraged to make an appointment with their
academic advisor to discuss the specific circumstances leading
to the probationary status. The advisor can offer advice
on services available at UNF that may assist the students
with their particular problems. Students can be placed on
academic probation for one of two reasons:
• Undergraduate Student’s
overall GPA fell below a 2.00
• Graduate Student’s overall GPA fell below a 3.00
Students should seek advice
from their academic advisor in either case. There are support
services available at UNF to assist students who have academic
difficulty.
