  As an admitted student, you now have access to our myWings student portal. myWings is the main hub for our Ospreys. In your packet, you will find a quick-reference guide to help you learn what you can do in each of our systems.

• #2 - Register for New Student Orientation

  Your first big step as an admitted Osprey is signing up for New Student Orientation. This is your way of committing to UNF and is required for all new Ospreys. More info will be coming via mail and email. (Registration opens: late October for summer or fall admits; late September for spring admits)

  If you want to be considered for financial aid, you must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) every year. The FAFSA opens in December for the following academic year.

  The priority deadline to submit a FAFSA, as well as scholarship applications, is Jan. 15.

• #7 - Apply for the Hicks Honors College

  The Hicks Honors College at the University of North Florida offers talented students a unique approach to higher education that emphasizes experiential and active learning in small classes. Visit unf.edu/hicks for information on how to apply!

Prior to Attending Orientation:

• #1 - Clear your Registration Holds

  Every new student starts off with various holds on their account that will prevent course registration. These need to be cleared at least a couple of weeks before attending New Student Orientation. You will view and clear your holds via myWings, by selecting the Holds tile.

• #2 - Submit Immunization Records (MMR)

  Per the State of Florida, all students born after 1956 must show proof of immunity to MMR (measles, mumps, rubella). It can take 7-10 business days for your documentation to be processed. This requirement is also a registration hold, so it is very important to submit your documentation several weeks before your scheduled New Student Orientation.

• #3 - Register for Parent and Family Orientation

  At UNF, we feel our students’ parents and families play a vital role in their college success. During the Parent and Family Orientation program you will learn about UNF and the many programs available to your student. Learn more and sign up via New Student Orientation.

After Attending Orientation:

• #1 - Purchase a Parking Permit

  If you plan to have a car on campus, you must purchase a parking permit. You will receive more information about parking on campus during New Student Orientation. For students starting in spring or summer, permits will be available after you register for classes. fall parking permits become available in mid-to-late July.

• #2 - Submit Final/Official Transcripts

  After you have graduated, you must submit an official transcript from your high school and/or college showing all final grades and your graduation date. You must also submit official score reports (from the original testing agency) for all AP, IB or AICE exams.
