Brooks College of Health Undergraduate Academic Policies

Concurrent or Transient Enrollment

Any current UNF student interested in taking a course at another institution must receive permission from the Advising Office. Freshman and Sophomore level students can take up to 8 credits at another institution. Upper-level courses specific to the student's major must be approved by the program director. Students must speak with an advisor before they fill out the electronic transient form prior to the semester they wish to take the course.

Change of major

Students who wish to change their major to a Brooks College of Health major must have a UNF GPA of 2.0 or higher and comply with all requirements of the university change of major policy. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Program Director for the intended major the students wants to declare.

Mandatory Advising

Each new transfer student, except freshman, and native sophomore, junior, senior and post-baccalaureate UNF student must meet with the Brooks College of Health Academic Advising Office to review their degree evaluation once they are admitted into the Brooks College of Health. This meeting is mandatory and typically takes place prior to registration. Each admitted health student or UNF health student who reaches 30 credits will receive an email notification for a meeting. An advising hold will be placed on the student's account to ensure they meet with Advising in a timely manner.

Defined Major for Specialized Admission Programs

Students who are designated as a Pre-Health major, prospective Nursing, in the Brooks College of Health must meet the minimum GPA admission requirement once they've earned 45 credit hours.

Specialized admission major students who do not meet the minimum GPA admission requirement when they have 45  earned credit hours must change their major to a non-specialized admission major before proceeding with additional coursework. Students will closely work with Brooks College of Health academic advisors to improve their academic performance while at the same time exploring alternate major options.

Additionally, students who do not meet minimum college overall GPA requirements (3.00 for Nursing) may not change their major to Pre-Health, Prospective Nursing.

Returning from Academic Probation or Suspension

Students on Academic probation for two (2) consecutive semesters are eligible for academic suspension. Once placed on academic suspension students must sit out at least once semester and need program director permission to return to UNF. Students on academic probation or academic suspension that go inactive after non-enrollment for three consecutive semesters must receive permission from the program director to be re-admitted into the major. Certain majors within Brooks College of Health will not re-admit students who left the institution on probation or were suspended.
