• Why do I need a Degree Evaluation and an Osprey Map?
  The degree evaluation is a signed agreement between the Coggin College of Business and its degree-seeking students that provides the appropriate guidelines for students to follow to ensure their success in obtaining their undergraduate or graduate degrees. The University of North Florida requires that all degree-seeking students have a signed program of study for their major.   The Osprey Map is a detailed guide for the best path for a student to take courses and serves as an excellent guide to students.

• What is a wait list and how does it work?

  A wait list is a computer driven list of students who want to register into a closed class. The wait list allows for the fair distribution of available class spaces after the class has initially closed.

• Will I be required to take a certain amount of coursework each semester?
  No. Students can go at their own pace as long as they do not need to be full-time for athletic eligibility, financial aid, or other reasons. UNF defines full-time enrollment as completing 12 semester hours per term for Undergraduates and 9 semester hours per term for Graduates. Students must complete their program of study course work within a ten-year window for undergraduates and a seven-year window for graduates. Therefore, students may need to look at their enrollment pace to ensure that program of study coursework can be completed within this time and stay under their original program of study course requirements.
• Do you offer online classes?
  No, at this time, the Coggin College of Business uses blended learning. Our faculty feel that students learn best from classroom interaction with both the instructor and other class members present.
• Can I take classes at another institution once I enroll in the Coggin College of Business at UNF?
  No.  Once students matriculate to the Coggin College of Business at UNF, they are expected to complete their course work at UNF.

A College committee then makes a decision on a case by case basis.
• How do I return to UNF if I have been suspended from the Coggin College of Business?

  First Time Suspension: Students who are returning after their first suspension have not broken continuous enrollment and should meet with an academic advisor to discuss his/her plans to continue classes successfully.  This meeting should take place at least eight weeks before the semester for which they wish to return. This advising meeting necessary to process the necessary paperwork for readmission.  

  Students who have Broken Continuous Enrollment: Students in this category must reapply at the Admissions Office at least 12 weeks before the beginning of the term for which they are seeking reenrollment. Readmission is not automatic. Once the college makes a decision on the student's request, students are notified of the decision by mail. Students who are readmitted are sent specific instructions on their readmission conditions and given specific procedures to follow so that registration can take place in a timely manner. The reapplication deadline is strictly enforced by the college.

• What happens if I'm placed on academic probation?

  Students placed on academic probation are required to make an appointment with their academic advisor to discuss the specific circumstances leading to the probationary status and to have the HOLD lifted. The advisor can offer advice on services available at UNF that may assist the students with their particular problems. Students can be placed on academic probation for one of two reasons:

  • Undergraduate Student's overall &/or semester GPA falls below a 2.00
  • Graduate Student's overall &/or semester GPA falls below a 3.00 or an individual grade falls below 3.0

  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.
