Sections of the Application

The Online Application

  • Personal Information

    Carefully consider your responses before you begin to write. In fact, you should prepare your responses in advance, review them with your parents, an adviser or a teacher, and revise them. The best responses are always those that have been refined and polished.

    This section asks for general contact, family and demographic information.

  • Application Information

    This is the written response section of the application. You will need to provide family information, personal résumé information and a personal essay.

    The family and résumé sections request details of your family background, academic achievements, extracurricular activities, volunteer service, unique talents and any other experience, situation, program or activity that helped you decide to apply to the university.

    Please compose your responses in a word processing program before pasting them into the application. You should keep your formatting as simple as possible; special features such as bold, italic, underline and quotation marks are generally lost when the text is placed into the application text boxes.

    Do not mail your essay or résumé to the Office of Admissions. All information should be submitted online.

    Remember: There is a 950-character limit (approx. 150 words) for each of the résumé questions

    and a 3885-character limit (approx. 450 words) for the personal essay.

  • Education Background

    This section requests details of your high school education, college courses taken and test score results.

    Remember: Official copies of your test scores and transcripts must be sent to
    the Office of Admissions.

  • Residency Information

    Establishing your residency is important, as it determines whether your tuition is based on Florida resident or non-Florida resident rates.

    With very few exceptions, applicants younger than 24 years of age will need a parent or guardian to complete and sign the residency pages. To establish Florida residency, claimants must provide proof of Florida residency as evidenced by a Florida driver's license, vehicle registration and/or voter registration.
