General Information Dismissed Students Fresh Start Two Term Abscence FAQ Back to Admissions

Fresh Start

Former undergraduate students who have been dismissed and who wish to return to the University of Florida after an absence of no fewer than five calendar years (during which they have engaged predominantly in nonacademic activities) may petition for undergraduate readmission under the Fresh Start Program.  Students interested in the Fresh Start Program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences should first meet with an academic advisor in 100 AAC to determine initial eligibility.
Please be aware that this College generally only considers students for Fresh Start who had academic difficulty during the first one or two semesters while making the transition from high school to college.

If re-admitted under the Fresh Start Program, credit for previous UF courses in which a grade of C or better was earned will be calculated in UF hours earned and may be applied toward a degree. No grades previously earned in UF courses will be included in the UF grade point average. All previous course attempts and grades received will remain on the student's academic record and transcript.

Students who have been readmitted under Fresh Start may not petition subsequently for any retroactive change to their academic records. Students admitted under Fresh Start who do not enroll must reapply for a future term.
