During registration, most departments offer waitlists for classes that fill to capacity. If the class you wish to register for is currently filled, you will have the option of signing up on a waitlist for that section. This feature tells you how many people have already signed up on the waitlist. If the class becomes open and you are the next name on the waitlist, you will automatically be registered for the course. Please note that you may not move into a class from the waitlist if registration in that section would cause you to exceed max hours, if you are already registered in another section of the class, or if you have a hold.
For more information concerning the waitlist, visit the Records & Registration Online Waitlist FAQ webpage.

After the appropriate signatures are obtained (student, faculty member, department chairperson, and Director of Academic Advising), the form should be submitted to Academic Advising (Bldg 10/Rm 1351).

One important part of staying on track is to take the right number of credits each term. UNF recommends students take at least 15 credit hours each Fall and Spring term. Enrolling in 15 credit hours allows student to graduate on-time and helps prevent student from accruing an excess hours surcharge. In addition, many UNF institutional grants and scholarships require student to enroll in at least 15 credit hours per semester for both disbursement and renewal.
The minimum for full-time enrollment for purposes of athletic eligibility, financial aid or other reasons is 12 credit hours per term for undergraduate students and 9 credit hours per term for graduate students.
Students must complete their program of study course work within a ten-year window for undergraduate students and a seven-year window for graduate students. Therefore, students may need to look at their enrollment pace to ensure that program of study coursework can be completed with this time and stay under their original program of study course requirements.

III. Miscellaneous Policies
In general, concurrent/transient enrollment in business courses at other institutions is not permitted for Coggin students. Business courses include lower level business prerequisites and upper level business courses required for the degree.
UNF native BBA or BA degree seeking students can request permission for concurrent/transient enrollment only when extenuating, documentable circumstances are present. The concurrent/transient approval is required prior to taking the course(s) at another institution. Students must first complete a "Waiver of College Policy" form for permission.
If permission is granted, students must complete the Transient Student Admission Application at FloridaShines.
Students should meet with an academic advisor, and then follow instructions to complete the transient process. UNF native students are students who first matriculate at UNF after high school graduation.

- Undergraduate Student's overall GPA falls below a 2.00
- Graduate Student's overall program &/or semester GPA falls below a 3.00.
Students should seek advice from their academic advisor in either case. There are support services available at UNF to assist students who have academic difficulty.
