My student will have all program prerequisites for their major satisfied prior to transferring to UNF. Which classes are transfer students eligible to take once admitted to UNF?

Students can begin classes in their major (and minor, if applicable), if prerequisites to individual courses at UNF are satisfied. (Individual course prerequisites can vary from institution to institution.) Students should consult a UNF academic advisor prior to registering for classes. Note: students applying to limited-access or selective-admission programs must be admitted into the limited-access or selective-admission major prior to enrolling in classes.
My student will not have all program prerequisites for their major satisfied prior to transferring to UNF. How will this affect my student's ability to transfer to UNF?

Your student may still apply to UNF but must complete missing program prerequisites at UNF. Students may also request approval from a UNF academic advisor through the concurrent enrollment process to take courses at another institution once matriculated at UNF. Students should consult a UNF academic advisor prior to registering for classes.

Students must present evidence of completion of two years of the same foreign language in high school or must verify completion of eight credit hours of the same foreign language in college/university.
