Apply:NON-DEGREE

Non-Degree Seeking

Visiting students, sometimes referred to as transient students and/or non-degree students, are those who are currently enrolled as degree-seeking students at another institution but who wish to take courses for a term at UF to transfer back to their home institution. All visiting students to UF are considered non-degree seeking at the University of Florida and register on a space-available basis, which is fall (100% online sections only), spring (100% online sections only), summer terms A, B and C (online or on-campus sections).
