Step 2: Fill out your application

There are two ways to submit an application to UNF: UNF's Institutional Application or through the Common Application. Students can choose either application, and only need to apply once. 

For UNF's Institutional Application: After you create an Osprey Account, look for the Apply Now link on the top right corner of your screen. This link will take you to the institutional UNF online application. A great benefit of applying through your Osprey Account is that you can edit your application anytime.

If you want to change your major 

You do not need to fill out a new application to change your major.  We recommend you wait until you are admitted then change your major through your academic advisor. If you are a transfer student changing between limited/selective access and non-limited/selective access majors, please email your request to the Office of Admissions.
