Transfer Admission Requirements

NOTE: All transfer applicants should realize that Florida public community college graduates who have completed a university-parallel program and an Associate of Arts degree will receive priority consideration for admission IF they meet the requirements for admission to their UF college/major.

All Transfer Applicants Must

  • Submit the online UF application and $30 nonrefundable application fee six to nine months before the term begins. (Please note that if paying by credit card, a $1.75 service fee will be added automatically to the $30 fee, so the total application fee is $31.75.)
  • Meet application deadlines. The application, application fee and ALL transcripts must be received by the deadline.
  • Submit all high school and postsecondary transcripts.
    Official transcripts can be sent to UF in two ways: paper transcript received by UF in a sealed envelope or electronic transcripts sent from your institution directly to UF. Most Florida public high schools, universities and community colleges prefer to send transcripts electronically, saving you up to two weeks response time.
  • SAT/ACT test scores are required for freshmen/sophomore transfers and those applying to teacher certification programs. Official scores must be sent to UF directly from the testing agency.
    SAT testing agency or call 609-921-9000.
    ACT testing agency or call 319-337-1270.
  • Submit documentation of two sequential courses of foreign language in secondary school or 8-10 sequential semester hours at the postsecondary level, or document an equivalent level of proficiency.
  • Satisfy the CLAST Requirement. The College Level Academic Skills Test is designed to test the communication and computation skills judged by Florida statutes and the State Board of Education as necessary for successful performance and progression through the baccalaureate level. Passing scores on the test, or its approved alternative, is required for transfer admission.
  • Apply to a specific UF college and major.
  • Meet college and major prerequisite courses and minimum GPA requirements.
    Limited access programs, teacher certification programs and programs requiring an audition generally require additional application materials.
  • Be in good standing and eligible to return to any institution previously attended.
  • Submit proof of immunization prior to registration.
  • Understand that meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the university.

Freshman/Sophomore Transfers (lower-division applicants with 13-59 transferrable credits)

Due to space limitations, UF is not currently accepting lower-division transfer students. Prospective transfer applicants are encouraged to remain at or to transfer to a Florida community college until the AA degree is completed.

Concurrent High School and AA Degrees

Students who will receive their high school diploma and the Associate of Arts degree at the same time should complete the freshman application. You must apply to a specific UF college and major, and you must meet college and major prerequisite course and minimum GPA requirements.
