My student is transferring to UNF with an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree from a Florida institution. What's next?

An A.A. degree from a Florida public university, community college or state college will satisfy UNF General Education and Gordon Rule requirements. Students should send a transcript to UNF at the time of application and a final transcript after the A.A. degree is awarded. Note: students must send an official transcript directly from every institution attended, as well as any score reports for accelerated mechanism credit, i.e. Advanced Placement (AP). Students must also meet transfer student admission criteria.
My student is transferring to UNF without an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree from a Florida institution. What's next?

UNF does admit transfer students without an A.A. degree from a state of Florida institution. These transfer students must complete UNF General Education and Gordon Rule requirements.

Note: students must send an official transcript directly from every institution attended, as well as any score reports for accelerated mechanism credit, i.e. Advanced Placement (AP). Students must also meet transfer student admission criteria.
If my student has completed all of their selected UNF major prerequisites, which classes are they eligible to take?

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.
If my student has not completed all of their selected UNF major prerequisites, how will that affect transferring 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.
What is the state of Florida foreign language requirement?

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. High school and college/university transcripts must be sent to the UNF Office of Admissions as per the state foreign language requirement policy. Students with questions about how to satisfy a foreign language deficiency should consult a UNF academic advisor.
