1. Ensure you have submitted your admissions deposit
(first-time-in-college students only) If you haven't done so yet, make sure you submit your admission deposit, or deposit waiver if applicable, in your applicant portal. This will save your spot at UNF! This deposit amount will be credited toward your first term's bill upon registration for courses and is non-refundable.
- Log into your applicant portal
- Select the "Home" tab
- Under the "Payment Due" section, click on the "Submit Payment" link
If you change your application term, the deposit will not be credited toward the new term's bill. However, you will not need to submit another deposit.
2. Log into your myWings student portal
As an admitted student, you now have access to the myWings student portal. myWings is the main hub for our Ospreys. Check out the step-by-step guide for help with logging into myWings for the first time.
3. Register for New Student Orientation
Incoming freshmen are required to attend Orientation, which helps you have a smooth transition to UNF and be ready for your first semester. Check the Orientation webpage for more details and dates.
Sign up for New Student Orientation in your applicant portal to confirm your spot at UNF!
4. Check your UNF Email
You'll receive emails to your official UNF email account, which can be accessed through the myWings student portal. Make sure to check your UNF email regularly and complete required tasks.
5. Apply for Financial Aid and Scholarships
If you want to be considered for financial aid, you must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) every year. The priority deadline to submit a FAFSA, as well as scholarship applications, is January 15.
The application needs to be completed on the FAFSA website.
6. Complete the Residency Declaration (all students)
All students are required to complete the Residency Declaration to determine their correct tuition rate, including whether you qualify as a Florida resident. Skipping this step can result in paying a higher tuition rate.
Go to the Residency Declaration webpage for additional information and to complete it.
7. Submit Housing and Meal Membership Contracts
On-campus housing fills up fast! Room selection and assignment happen on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is important to submit your contract early. You are not required to live on campus.
8. Take a look at the Hicks Honors College
The Hicks Honors College at the University of North Florida offers high-achieving students a unique approach to higher education that emphasizes experiential and active learning in smaller classes. Visit the Hicks Honors College webpage for more details, requirements and application information!
