General information is discussed throughout our website. If you have submitted an application and have additional questions, reach out to the UF Online OneStop by phone at 352-294-3290 or by email at [email protected].

Each application requires a non-refundable $30 application fee. The payment must be made online during the application submission process.

Please be aware that each application must have an individual fee, which is valid for one decision for UF Online. If you would like to be considered for a second program then you will need to reapply for the next term and pay another application fee.

To access your application summary, you will have to have your temporary username and password from when you created your application. Once you have retrieved your UFID number, you will be able visit the Check Your Status page. If you are missing this information, please contact the UF Online OneStop by calling 352-294-3290.

If you would like to change your major, please contact the UF Online OneStop at 352-294-3290 or by email at [email protected].

You can change your term depending on where you are in the application process, and you may change your term for up to a year after you submit your application. If you have already been considered for an admission’s decision, then you will either need to reapply for a different term or submit a deferral form if you have been admitted.

Please be aware that not every UF Online major is offered every term. For instance, Nursing is only offered during the Spring term.

Once you have submitted your application, we will review it within 48 hours. If we need any additional information from you, you will be notified by a status update at www.admissions.ufl.edu and via email. Once we have a complete academic history (high school transcripts, college transcripts, and test scores) as well as all other information that we have requested, we will review you for a decision.

You can check your application status at https://my.admissions.ufl.edu/apply/status. We will also send you an email notification once the admissions committee has reviewed your file and the decision is available online.

You’ll want to send or forward your official transcripts in a sealed envelope to the University of Floridas Office of Admissions at:

201 Criser Hall –PO BOX 114000
Gainesville, FL 32611-4000

If you are ordering your transcripts by PDF please be aware that we only accept PDF transcripts from Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, and eScrip-Safe. Our email address for receipt of these transcripts is [email protected]; Please ATTN these transcripts for the UF Online OneStop.

You will want to submit your activities and locations to the [email protected]. We are looking for a brief summary consisting of several sentences stating where you were during that time frame and the name of your employer (if you were working). If you were not working, let us know what activity you were doing during that time frame instead such as going to school, raising a family, traveling, and/or unemployed. A resume will suffice if the allotted times are covered.

If you have not already indicated these courses before you submitted your application, you will want to email the UF Online Onestop at [email protected] indicating which courses (including the course codes) that you are now taking, as well as the institution where you are taking the courses. If applicable, please send us a transcript that lists these courses as “in progress.

We will need your high school transcript if you are applying with less than 60 transferable college credits (or 90 quarter hours). These credits include test scores from AP, IB, AICE, and CLEP. If you have 60 transferable credits (or 90 quarter hours) then we will not need your high school transcript to review you for a decision. We may still need your high school transcript to resolve your foreign language condition if you have not, as of yet, completed two semesters of foreign language in college. If you have a bachelor’s degree at an accredited school, we will not need your high school transcript.

Prerequisite courses must be completed at an accredited institution from which the University of Florida awards transfer credit. For more information, please visit the University of Florida Catalog. Courses from Florida public community colleges and State University System schools generally adhere to the State-wide Course Numbering System. If the prefix (first three letters) and the last three digits of the course number are the same, then the course is considered equivalent.
