Admitted, now what? FAQs

Congratulations on your acceptance to the UNF Graduate School! Check out our FAQs below and contact us if you have further questions!
  • How do I accept or decline my admission?
    You'll need to complete the Reply to Offer of Admission through your Application Status Portal. There is no fee associated with an admission confirmation.
  • Can I defer my admission?

    Yes, in some cases you may defer your admission. A deferment may be requested for the two consecutive terms immediately preceding your initial term of admission. The program must admit for the requested term unless written approval from the program director is received. Programs that only admit once a year are not eligible for an admission deferment. 

    The deadline to request to defer admission is always the last day of the Add/Drop period each semester. Refer to the Academic Calendar for specific dates. Requests to defer after the deadline will not be accepted unless there are extenuating circumstances. Students who miss the deadline to defer must contact the Graduate School to request a new application to apply again.

    To request to defer your application, please email graduateschool@unf.edu.
  • What happens if I do not enroll in courses for the term I am admitted to?
    If you don't enroll for the term admitted to your application will be canceled for non-matriculation. You will need to reapply for admission to a future term should you seek enrollment.
  • What happens if I do not attend for any term after my first term?

    Once admitted, graduate students are expected to maintain continuous enrollment in order to make progress towards degree. The continuous enrollment requirement begins with the initial graduate matriculation term. The Graduate School monitors continuous enrollment and reserves the right to take action if a student fails to maintain continuous enrollment. Students who cannot maintain continuous enrollment should seek a Leave of Absence as outlined in the Graduate Student Enrollment Requirements.

    In the event continuous enrollment is broken, you will need to reapply for admission. Your first step is to verify the next available term in which you can apply by reviewing your Graduate Program. You will be held to the admission standards and deadlines for the new term in which you are applying. Test scores and transcripts are automatically carried to new applications, however updated transcripts may be required.

    Common Hold Types

  • I was provisionally admitted, what does this mean?

    Provisional admission means you must meet the requirements of your Graduate Program Director within your first term in order to gain full admittance to the program. Please contact your Graduate Program Director for specific requirements. 

    At the end of your first term, your Graduate Program Director will notify us to either (1) approve your full admission to the program, or (2) dismiss you from the program. Fully admitted students will be able to continue within the program. If dismissed, your Graduate Program Director will notify you that you did not meet the provisional admission requirements, you will be dropped from all future coursework, and a hold preventing future registration will be placed on your account.
  • Who is my advisor/director?
    Your advisor is your Graduate Program Director.
  • How do I register? Where do I find my registration time ticket?

    Registration information can be found on the Records and Registration site. Here, you will find important tools, including the Registration Guide and Registration Add Errors you may encounter. Please refer to the UNF Course Catalog for information regarding offered courses. All holds on your student account will need to be cleared prior to being able to register. While many will clear instantly, some, such as Campus Clarity, take 24 hours.
