We're excited you've chosen to apply to the University of North Florida! If you are ready to apply for admission, you’re in the right place. Just follow the steps below to become an Osprey!

Step 1: Create an Osprey Account

It only takes a few minutes to generate your Osprey Account. You can always make updates to your account and access your application through this link.

Step 2: Fill out your application

There are two ways to fill out a UNF application:

1. 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.
2. UNF now accepts the Common Application. The Common Application must be completed online at commonapp.org. A nonrefundable $30 fee must be submitted with either application.

Step 3: Send us your supplemental documentation

This includes official transcripts, test scores and Self-reported Student Academic Record (SSAR).

For more information about SSAR, please visit our FAQ page.

Step 4: Check the status of your admission decision via the myWings portal

Check your email for important messages and instructions. Once you have submitted your application, you’ll be assigned an UNF ID number which will give you access to myWings, UNF’s student portal. Please note, this is a separate account from your Osprey Account. You will want to check the portal often to see the status of your application. All future UNF communication will be sent via myWings. You should receive access within three days.

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. 

If you have an in-progress application

After submitting your application, you will be able to track the status of the application and your academic credentials in myWings.
