Graduate Transient at UNF

Looking to take a graduate course at the University of North Florida? Graduate transient status allows current graduate students from institutions accredited by an accepted institutional accreditor to temporarily enroll at UNF and transfer earned credits back to their home university. To qualify, students must be actively enrolled in a graduate program and in good academic standing. 

  • Deadlines
    • Fall - August 10
    • Spring - December 10
    • Summer - April 30
  • Process

    Obtain approval from your home institution before pursuing transient enrollment at UNF. It is also recommended you speak with the Graduate Program Director of the program the courses you intend to enroll in are under. A transient enrollment form or other documentation may be required by the program. 

    If your home institution and the Graduate Program Director accepts your UNF transient enrollment, complete the UNF Graduate School Non-Degree Application.

Current UNF Student?

  • UNF graduate students interested in taking courses at another institution as a transient should consult their Graduate Program Director on the transferability of any coursework completed outside of UNF. 
  • Up to 12 credit hours of a graduate program may be earned through concurrent enrollment at another U.S. institution accredited by an accepted institutional accreditor or its equivalent from a non-US institution while the student is enrolled in a UNF graduate degree program. Refer to the Graduate Transfer Credit Policy for more information.
  • After completing the coursework, submit an official transcript and a completed Transfer of Credit Request form to the Graduate School for processing.
