Dual Enrollment

In general, students can transfer up to 60 credit hours of community college credit as part of the hours needed for their UF degrees. These hours are subject to university and college degree requirements; the college will determine how transfer credit satisfies specific degree requirements.

High school students with community college coursework can also receive UF credit, where appropriate, regardless if that coursework also satisfied high school graduation requirements. Equivalent courses generally fulfill the same requirements (e.g. General Education) that the UF course fulfills. However, whether a course fulfills the UF Writing and Math Requirement is determined by specific criteria, not course number equivalency.

Freshman applicants with community college credits: Any student who has earned 12 or more semester hours of college credit following graduation from high school is considered a transfer applicant and cannot apply to UF as a freshman.

Credit from Florida public community colleges and state universities:

Courses at these institutions generally adhere to the statewide course numbering system and should have an equivalent UF course for transfer credit. Equivalent courses will generally fulfill the same requirements that the UF course fulfills.

Courses from private or out-of-state institutions:

Courses completed with grades of D or higher at other regionally accredited degree-granting institutions and institutions fully accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education that participate in the statewide course numbering system and that reasonably parallel the curriculum at this university will be accepted for transfer credit as hours earned.

It is the prerogative of the student’s college to determine how transfer credit satisfies the specific degree’s course requirements. Students must submit official transcripts to the Office of Admissions before or during their enrollment at UF.
