Admitted, now what? FAQs

FAQs

• How do I accept or decline my admission?

  Ready to let us know your decision? Complete the Reply to Offer of Admission through your Application Status Portal.

  There is no fee to confirm your admission.

• 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 an admission deferment is one month before the application deadline of the upcoming semester.

  Deadlines:

  • Fall - November 1st
  • Spring- March 15th
  • Summer - July 1st
• What happens if I do not enroll in courses for the term I am admitted to?

  If you do not enroll for the term to which you were admitted, your application will be canceled for non-matriculation. 

  If you would like to enroll in a future term, you will need to submit a new application for admission.

• What happens if I do not attend for any term after my first term?

  Once admitted, graduate students are expected to maintain continuous enrollment to continue making progress toward their 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 does not maintain continuous enrollment. If you are unable to maintain continuous enrollment, you should seek a Leave of Absence as outlined in the Graduate Student Enrollment Requirements. 

  If continuous enrollment is broken, you will need to reapply for admission. Before applying, review your graduate program to determine the next available term. You will be held to the admission standards and deadlines for the new term.

  Your test scores and transcripts will automatically carry over to new applications, although updated transcripts may be required.

• What should I do if I have a hold on my account?

  If you see a hold on your account, don't worry. Many holds can be addressed directly through myWings.

  1. 1. Click the Holds tile
     2. Review your list of holds and click How to Clear Holds at the bottom.
     3. Review the information provided for each hold, including who to contact and what action is needed. Hyperlinked holds can be addressed by selecting the hold and completing the requested action.
     4. We also recommend reviewing the What's Next tile for additional helpful resources and options.

  Common Hold Types

  • Immunization Hold - contact Student Health Services
  • Campus Clarity Hold - visit the Informed Ospreys Program
  • Missing Documents Hold - contact us
  • Application Update Hold - contact us
  • Graduate Credit Hours Limit Hold - complete the Graduate Post-Baccalaureate Memorandum of Understanding.
• I was provisionally admitted, what does this mean?

  Provisional admission means you must meet the requirements established by your Graduate Program Director during your first term to receive full admission to your program.

  Because requirements may vary, contact your Graduate Program Director for details about the specific requirements you need to complete. 

  At the end of your first term, your Graduate Program Director will notify the Graduate School to either:

  1. Approve your full admission to the program
  2. Dismiss you from the program.

  Students who receive full admission may continue in the program. If you do not meet the provisional admission requirements and are dismissed, your Graduate Program Director will notify you. You will be dropped from future coursework, and a hold preventing future registration will be placed on your account.
• Who is my advisor or Graduate Program Director?

  Your Graduate Program Director typically provides graduate academic advising, although some programs use a combination of professional academic advisors and faculty members.

  If you are unsure who your advisor is, your Graduate Program Director is a great place to start.

• How can I prepare for my online program?

  If you are enrolled in an online program, we highly encourage you to complete the Online Osprey Orientation.

  This self-paced Canvas resource is designed to help you get comfortable with the tools and services you'll use as an Online Osprey, and you can revisit it anytime throughout your graduate journey. 

  Through the orientation, you'll learn how to navigate key UNF systems such as myWings, Degree Works, and the UNF payment portal. You'll also learn how to access online services, find technology support, and explore engagement opportunities for online students. 

  Visit the Online Osprey Orientation website to self-enroll.   

• How do I register for classes? Where do I find my registration time ticket?

  The Records and Registration website is your primary resource for registration information, including the Registration Guide and information about Registration Add Errors you may encounter. 

  You can also use the UNF Course Catalog to review information about offered courses. 

  Before you register, clear all holds on your student account. While many will clear immediately, some, such as Campus Clarity, may take 24 hours. 

  If you are unsure which courses to register for, contact your Graduate Program Director for guidance.

  To find your registration time ticket:

  1. Log in to myWings
  2. Select the Registration tile

  Degree-seeking graduate students typically receive time tickets earlier in registration week.

• Is there a graduate course withdrawal policy?

  While there is not a specific graduate withdrawal policy, some programs require approval before withdrawing from a course.

  We recommend contacting your Graduate Program Director before withdrawing from a course to determine whether your program has additional requirements.

• As a current graduate student, how do I change my concentration or major, or add a certificate?

  If you are an active, degree-seeking graduate student and would like to change your concentration or major, you will need to submit a Change of Concentration or Change of Major online form request through myWings.

  If you would like to add or change a certificate program, you will need to submit a Change of Major online form request through myWings.

  If your status is inactive, or you have not been admitted into a degree-seeking program, you will need to apply for graduate admissions.

  Visit the Change of Concentration or Major page for additional information.
