Q. I attended
UF years ago and now want to complete my degree. How do I apply?
A.
Applications are available from the Office of Admissions. Box
114000, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL. 32611-4000. Forms
and directions vary with the level of readmission. Applicants should
indicate the college and level of last enrollment at the university as well
as the college and level to which they wish to apply. Applications
must be received in the Office of Admissions by the deadline published
in the university
calendar
.
Q. I've only been away
from UF for a year. Do I still need to apply for readmission?
A.
Former undergraduate students who do not enroll at the university for
two consecutive terms, including any summer term, must apply for readmission.
Readmission, however, is not guaranteed and is subject to availability at
the appropriate level, college or major. Students who skip a single
term will be scheduled automatically for a registration appointment for
one additional term.
Q. What is the
Fresh Start Program?
A.
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 engaged
predominantly in nonacademic activities) may petition for undergraduate
readmission under the
Fresh Start Program.
If admitted, credit for previous UF courses
in which a grade of C or better was earned will 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.
