Registration
- Registration Dates
Transient students can only register during Transient Registration day
and Late Registration. Transient students do not receive registration
appointments. For registration dates, refer to the table above.
- Selecting Courses
Transient students should not assume that all UNF courses can
be applied to the degree program in which they are enrolled
in their home institution. Students should obtain the approval
of an academic advisor in their home institution for each UNF
course they select. Only the academic advisor in the home institution
can assure that courses taken will be applied to a student's
degree program.
- Pre-requisites
To determine if a UNF course requires pre-requisites, consult
the UNF Course
Catalog prior to registration. Students who have taken the
necessary pre-requisites at their home institution must be able
to produce an official transcript confirming completion of the
pre-requisites.
- For Pre-Req clearance, please contact the Department offering
the course. For Department Numbers dial 620-1000.
- Registering for Courses
After a student has submitted a transient form to Admissions
and obtained a UNF student ID number, he or she will access
registration using the myWings
portal, Acadecmics tab, Banner Self Service.

Transferring
UNF Credits to the Home Institution

at UNF, they must request a UNF transcript from One Stop Student Services and have it sent to their home institution. Official transcripts
cost $5.00 each (effective July 1, 2008, this fee will be increased to $8.00). The home institution WILL NOT transfer UNF credits
to the student's record until an official transcript is received.
Visit this page for more information about ordering a UNF
transcript.
Note:
Students must specify that their transcript
request should not be processed until the final semester grades
are posted. Grades will be posted on the date listed in the above
table. |
