Transfer Students

In planning course work for potential transfer into a major within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, transfer students should consult the particular major in the current undergraduate catalog. To be competitive, prospective transfer students should meet the tracking courses in their desired major through semester four if all of those courses are available at their current institution. However, these are minimum course recommendations and do not guarantee admission.

CLAS Transfer Application Deadlines

see UF's Application Deadlines on the admissions website.

Florida State College Students (formerly Florida Community Colleges)

Students with an AA degree awarded or pending from a Florida State/Community College are eligible for admission under the state's articulation agreement. However, space availability makes admission competitive. Please refer to the recommendations for Prospective Junior Transfer Students for more information. Additionally, admission is term-specific. Therefore, if a student does not enroll in the term to which they are originally admitted they must submit a new application by the published deadline for a future term.

Transfer applications can be found at the following site: http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/start.html

Upper Division Transfer Students

Admission for upper division transfer students (students applying from a non Florida State/Community College) is limited. Students with 60 or more hours earned but less than *90 hours earned will be considered on a space availability basis.

*Students with greater than 90 hours earned and applying from a non Florida State/Community College are generally not considered for admission.

Tau Sigma

Tau Sigma is an Academic Honor Society designed specifically to recognize and promote the academic excellence and involvement of transfer students.
