UNF: Other Student Types FAQ

What is a Transient Enrollment form?

A transient enrollment form is a form you will obtain form from your home institution to submit to UNF to gain approval to take classes at UNF as a transient student.

What’s the status of my FloridaShines application?

Since Florida Shines applications are first approved by a home institution and then sent to UNF, we would need to have received the FloridaShines application to know the status. If you have contacted the Office of Admissions and we are unable to see the application, that means we most likely have not received it from your home institution.

What qualifies as a proof of degree?

If you are requested to submit a proof of degree as part of your application materials, this would be a final official transcript from the university/universities from which you earned a baccalaureate degree.
