Other Student Types

Are you a previous applicant or returning UNF student? In order to be reconsidered for re-admission to UNF, you must fit one of the following scenarios:

• I applied before, but did not submit all the required materials to receive a decision.
• I was admitted before, but did not attend classes.
• I was admitted before, but contacted the Office of Admissions to cancel my admission.
• I was an enrolled student, but had to take some time off (three or more semesters).

If any of these scenarios fit you, your status with UNF is inactive or your application was canceled.  Your first step is to verify the next available term in which you can apply by reviewing application deadlines. In order to be reconsidered for admission, you will need to submit a new application including a $30 application fee. Contact the Office of Admissions to confirm which documents (transcripts and test scores) are still on file and if there are additional items required to be considered.  You will be held to the admission standards and deadlines for the new term to which you are applying.

If you were an enrolled student and have been absent for fewer than three semesters, you are still considered an "active" student and may be eligible to register for classes. Review your registration status and check your registration holds through your myWings account. Contact One-Stop Student Services with any questions.

UNF Graduates 

If you graduated from UNF and would like to earn a second degree, please review the Post-Baccalaureate or Graduate School webpages for requirements. 

Go to the University's official policy to learn more about enrolling to the University after graduating.

Disclaimer: Although the FloridaShines application is always open, all transient applicants must submit their complete application package by the posted deadlines for admission for the semester to which they are applying.

What is a Transient Student?

A student who is already enrolled in one institution and who wishes to temporarily enroll in another institution to transfer credits back to their home institution is referred to as a transient student. Students must obtain approval from an academic advisor in their home institution before pursuing transient enrollment at UNF.

Students are not sent a bill for tuition. Deadlines for payment may be found on the Academic Calendar.

Admissions Process

For students attending a Florida public institution:

• Complete an electronic application through FloridaShines. If you are a UNF student seeking to temporarily enroll in another institution, download instructions for assistance. Please note that not all Florida public schools participate in the FloridaShines program, so please check the list of schools carefully. Not all schools have the capability to process financial aid requests via FloridaShines, but the functionality will eventually be available. If you are not prompted to answer financial aid questions on the FloridaShines electronic application, you will have to complete the UNF Financial Aid Consortium Agreement.

For students attending a Florida public institution that does not participate in the FloridaShines program:

• Complete the UNF Application for Undergraduate Students.
• Obtain a transient student application form from your academic advisor in your home institution, complete it, and submit it to:

For students attending a private or non-Florida public institution:

• Complete the UNF Application for Undergraduate Students.

All transient students must provide the following:

• A recent, official transcript OR a transient enrollment form from the university registrar at the home institution.
• A copy of immunization records indicating proof of vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella. 

Registration Times

Transient students can only register during Transient Registration day and Late Registration. Transient students do not receive registration appointments. For registration dates, refer to the Academic Calendar.  

Selecting Courses

Transient students should not assume that all UNF courses can be applied to the degree program in which they are enrolled in their home institution. Students should obtain the approval of an academic advisor in their home institution for each UNF course they select. Only the academic advisor in the home institution can assure that courses taken will be applied to a student's degree program.

Registering for Courses

After obtaining a UNF student ID number, register using the myWings portal.

Received a Registration Error?

When attempting to register for a transient course, if you encounter a prerequisite or department approval error, please follow these steps to request a registration override: 

• Log into your myWings account
• Select the Banner Self Service option in Student Resources
• Under the Student Services tab, select Online Forms
• Complete the Registration Override Request

If you have additional questions after submitting the form, you can reach out to the academic college associated with the specific course. 

Paying for Classes

Students are not sent a bill for tuition. Deadlines for payment may be found on the Academic Calendar.

Tuition and fees may be paid by check, money order, or credit card and must be paid by the payment deadline. Fees must be paid to:

Credit card payments can only be made through My UNF Bill box in the myWings portal.

Transferring UNF Credits to the Home Institution

Once transient students have completed courses at UNF, they must request a UNF transcript from One-Stop Student Services and have it sent to their home institution. Official transcripts cost $8 each. The home institution WILL NOT transfer UNF credits to the student's record until an official transcript is received. Learn more about ordering a UNF transcript. 

Please Note: Students must specify that their transcript request should not be processed until final semester grades are posted.

The Learning for a Lifetime (LFL) program is designed to promote the increasing desire for knowledge among experienced citizens of our First Coast community. The LFL program allows Florida resident senior citizens to audit college-level courses with tuition fees waived. There are no application fees, no course limits, and no grades in the LFL program.

Apply now to the Learning for a Lifetime Program

Admission

For consideration as an LFL student, you must be:

• A Florida resident
• Sixty years of age or above
• Admitted and classified as a senior citizen by the Office of Admissions prior to registering for classes

An application and a Residency Declaration are required for all new Learning for a Lifetime participants as well as for those returning after breaking continuous enrollment (not taking classes for three consecutive terms). All students must also submit a UNF Immunization Health Form when first joining the program.

Students must apply to the Learning for a Lifetime program using the online application. Please note that you must be admitted prior to the designated LFL Registration Day. Students will not be able to submit an LFL application on the day of registration.

Please check the posted deadlines for admission. You must complete the online application and residency declaration by the posted deadlines to be considered for admission.

Selecting Courses

UNF Course Schedule

Courses may be taken only on a space-available basis. LFL students may not use their fee waiver for MAT 1033, dissertation, thesis, practicum, independent study, applied music, supervised research, supervised teaching, and internship courses.

Restrictions on courses may limit an LFL's course selection. Restrictions are listed in the catalog and on the course schedule; our system prevents students from adding restricted courses to their schedule. If you are interested in taking a course with a restriction, you must contact the department offering the course prior to registration. If you provide written approval from the academic department, or from a professor in the appropriate academic advising office, an override will be assigned, allowing you to register for a restricted course on the designated registration day.

Registration

There is a specific registration day for admitted LFL students. For tuition fees to be waived, you must register for courses on the designated LFL registration day. LFL students can self-register in myWings or come into One-Stop Student Services (Hicks Hall-Building 53, 1st floor) for assistance. Be sure to first check the One-Stop Student Services webpage for walk-in and appointment information. Once registered, follow the instructions below to change the grade mode designation to "audit". Please note that some classes are not permitted to be taken in audit grade mode.

Click here to view detailed instructions on how to register in audit grade mode.

**ESSENTIAL STEP**: The University requires two-factor authentication for most applications. The purpose of two-factor authentication is to protect your UNF account and your personal information. It adds a quick and easy step to the login process. After entering your UNF ID and password, two-factor authentication requires you to validate your identity by responding to a prompt using a second verification method such as a mobile device. Please visit the Duo webpage for instructions on how to set up your extra layer of security.

**IMPORTANT**: If you register for classes before the assigned registration day, you will be responsible for all tuition and fees.

Fees

Most fees are automatically waived unless you have registered for courses for which you will receive credit. Your student account will show a balance due until the fee waiver has been applied. The fee system generally updates during the week following the Add/Drop period. Fee waivers are not available to senior citizens taking any courses for credit.

As an LFL student, you are responsible for the following fees:

• Classes you register for prior to LFL registration day
• Late fees incurred by registering during the Late Registration period as noted on the Academic Calendar
• Lab/studio fees associated with certain courses
• Parking permit (purchase online)

Fees not covered by the LFL waiver must be paid by the payment deadline listed in the Academic Calendar; late payments are subject to a $100 late payment fee that is not covered by the LFL waiver.

Disclaimer: Please check the posted deadlines for admission. Students must submit their complete application package before the deadline to be considered for admission.

Non-degree courses can be taken for enrichment, certification or to meet pre-acceptance requirements for entry into a graduate degree program. The Office of Admissions processes all non-degree applications.

• Submit the $30 non-refundable application fee.

About Dual Enrollment

• Dual enrollment students are exempt from payment of registration, tuition and laboratory fees.
• Applied academics for adult education instruction, developmental education and other forms of pre-collegiate instructions, as well as physical education courses that focus on the physical execution of a skill rather than the intellectual attributes of the activity are ineligible for inclusion in the dual enrollment program.

• Instructional materials are not provided by UNF.
• Dual enrollment students are permitted to enroll in a maximum of six credit hours per semester.
