PaCE: Pathway to Campus Enrollment

Congratulations! If you have been offered admission to UF’s Pathway to Campus Enrollment program (PaCE), welcome to the Gator Nation! This site will help you explore the PaCE majors available through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

As a PaCE student, you must complete both your general and major specific transition requirements for your PaCE major in order to transition to campus. Generally, all PaCE students must complete the following:

  • at least 60 credits (at least 15 of which must be through UF Online*)
  • at least 2 semesters in UF Online
  • major specific transition requirements

*The 15 credit minimum in UF Online is to accommodate students who bring in the maximum of 45 credits from accelerated mechanisms such as AP, IB, and AICE exams. For students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the expectation is that, once you start at UF, you take all of your classes through UF Online until you transition to campus.

The major specific transition requirements for CLAS PaCE majors can be found by clicking on the major icon.

PaCE students can also be Exploratory students. However, they must declare a PaCE major by the end of their third term of enrollment in order to register for future courses. Additionally, PaCE students cannot transition to campus in the Exploratory major. To transition to campus, PaCE students must declare a PaCE major and complete the general and major specific transition requirements.

In the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, our expectation is that students graduate in a PaCE major. So, please review the list of majors to ensure that you’re comfortable pursuing and graduating in a PaCE major.

Interested in Professional School? Almost all majors are acceptable for students interested in law school. We do not recommend PaCE if you are interested in pursuing a career in the health professions. Most professional schools such as medical schools and dental schools do not accept online courses for fulfilment of pre-requisite requirements. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences does not support a pre-health path via PaCE, and will not approve transient coursework for pre-health pre-requisite coursework.
