FAQ

New Regulation regarding High School Associate of Arts can be found in the accordion below.

If I will graduate high school with my AA degree, should I apply as a transfer student?

Under the Florida Board of Governors Admission Regulation 6.005 if you are obtaining a high school diploma and an associate of arts (A.A.) degree through dual enrollment from an institution within the Florida College System or State University System, you have two options for admission consideration as a first-time-in-college (FTIC) student.

The recommended path for consideration is completing a freshman application and then going through the freshman process (completing the STARS (formerly SSAR) and submitting your SAT/ACT/CLT scores) and receiving a freshman decision. If we cannot offer you admission through that process, then we will ask if you would like to be considered as a transfer student and create a transfer application on your behalf so you would have both avenues available for admission consideration.

The other path is being considered only as a transfer student. This path does not consider test scores in the admissions review but the colleges will be looking at the prerequisites needed for your intended major and your college GPA to evaluate competitiveness. The opportunity for transfer students to change their major after admission is extremely limited so you need to consider your choice of major carefully. Transfer admissions are reviewed on a different timeline so your decision may not be available before May 1st.

If you are admitted under the FL BOG 6.005 regulation and do not intend to receive your A.A. degree, you must notify the Office of Admissions immediately. If you do not receive your A.A. before enrollment at UF, we may rescind your admission.

How do I know if my courses will transfer?

You can use Transferology, transferology.com/school/ufl, to determine how your credits will transfer. Refer to admissions admissions.ufl.edu/apply/transfer/credit-evaluation for more information.

Can I apply before I have completed all requirements?

Yes, as long as you indicate on your application that you will meet all requirements before the term to which you are applying. Therefore, you cannot complete required pre-requisites here at UF.

Can I transfer to UF without declaring a major?

No, all transfer students must declare a major on the application.

Can I apply for two majors simultaneously?

No, transfer students may only be considered for one major for any given term.

If I am admitted into a major, can I then decide to change majors?

It is highly unlikely that you will be able to change your major after being admitted.
