College Transcripts
All applicants must provide evidence of an earned baccalaureate degree in the form of a transcript from a college or university accredited by one of the regional accrediting bodies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. The admission GPA will be calculated on the last 60 credit hours of undergraduate study.

Applicants must submit transcripts from every previously attended post-secondary institution by the posted deadline. Unofficial copies are accepted for admissions but must clearly state the institution name, student name, course information, terms, grades, and credits .

Admitted students will be prompted to provide official transcripts.

Please note, the UNF Graduate School does not have the ability to request transcripts on the applicants behalf.
- Transcripts are required regardless of the number of credits earned, or
- if transfer credit appears on another transcript (including institutions attended through Dual Enrollment).
- If currently enrolled in courses, an incomplete transcript must be submitted before the posted deadline.
- Applicants who also have to apply through systems such as ATCAS or PTCAS, must still submit transcripts to UNF.
- Applicants who have earned college credits through the military must also provide a transcript.
  - Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard: Transcripts may be requested through the Joint Services Transcript website.
  - Air Force: Transcripts may be requested through the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) website.
- When requesting college transcripts, please verify with your institution(s) whether or not they are able to submit electronic transcripts in the proper EDI format.
