Outreach Recruiting Programs

Programs for High School and Community College Students

Throughout the year, the Office of Admissions encourages high school and community college students and their parents to visit campus and talk with admissions counselors. We sponsor these events to help prospective students determine how UF's tremendous academic resources can help them reach their potential and achieve their dreams. Each event is an excellent way to plan admission to the university.
