After Being Admitted

Locate your UFID number in your Gator Portal under “Application Materials.” A few days after being admitted, you will receive an email to create your GatorLink username and password.

Using your new GatorLink login, set up your GatorMail email account. Choose your email name wisely! You will use this email to communicate with professors.

If you haven’t already, complete your on-campus Housing Application, as housing is not reserved for first-year students. Once complete, you will then sign your Student Housing Agreement and later you will receive an email to select your space.

• PaCE students will have the opportunity to live on campus once they transition to an on-campus academic program.

If you haven't already submitted a 2025-26 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), do so today to unlock the fullest range of financial aid options available to you. The FAFSA will help to maximize your chances of getting the best support package possible.

Confirm your enrollment via the Gator Portal, and pay the non-refundable $200 tuition deposit, unless your fees were waived.

Preview is UF's required, freshman orientation program. You must confirm your enrollment and pay the non-refundable tuition deposit before registering for Preview.

Arrange to have the College Board, ACT, or Classic Learning Test (CLT) send your official test scores to the Office of Admissions by May 1. Check your Gator Portal for test score status.

Complete the UF Quest 1 Survey to list your preferences for a UF Quest 1 course.

• PaCE and IA students do not need to complete this survey.

Make arrangements to send your final transcripts with diploma date to our office by July 1, as your school may not automatically do this. Check your Gator Portal for transcript(s) status.
