As UF continues to become a top institution for education, it still wants to close the gap of education. The Gator Access Program is a way for UF Office of Admissions to give hands-on advice on the UF application to applicants from underrepresented, rural, minority populations and selected Title I schools. This program encourages applicants to apply to UF throughout the state of Florida.

Phone Blitz is a peer-to-peer calling campaign to outreach to targeted newly admitted students. Student ambassador groups across campus answer any last-minute questions for newly admitted students and family members right before the tuition enrollment deadline.
Thirty Admissions Volunteer Ambassadors, 48 Florida Cicerones, 24 PAACT, and 5 others participated for a total of 107 students who helped making calls.
Regional Admissions Representatives' primary goal is to increase out-of-state enrollment of students from targeted states. While only travelling within these targeted states, increased interest and enrollment from bordering states is a common result of organic outreach growth. Regional recruitment resulted in an increase of admitted students and confirmed students hailing from states outside of Florida and bringing a wide array of perspectives and interests to the campus.
