Newly admitted Gators will be able to register using a registration link they will receive via email the week after admissions decisions are made. Although parents of newly admitted may receive an invite as well, the registration link will only be sent to the student's email.

There will be no waitlist for Destination UF. We strongly encourage invitees to register early before their preferred date fills to capacity. In the event that your preferred date for Florida Days fills up, a waitlist button will appear. Fill out the information to be put on the waitlist. If a seat has opened up due to a cancellation, Eventbrite will notify you once you are at the top of the waitlist. When you get this message you will have up to one day to claim your spot before it is offered to the next individual on the waitlist. You will not be to register past the posted "registration close date" for each event date.

Attendance can only be guaranteed for invitees who have registered. Walk-on registration is not accepted for Destination UF and will only be allowed for Florida Days after confirming at the check-in/registration table on the day of the event or via phone/email with the program coordinator at least one business day prior that there is space to walk on.

Eventbrite will allow you to change your registration by the "registration close date" as long as the new date that you want is available. Log back into the registration link and add the date you want. Once you have acquired the new date, you must delete your first registration date. If you are needing to cancel your registration all together, simply click on the delete/cancel registration button once you have logged back into your registration page. *Please note that weekly reports will be generated to identify and delete duplicate registrations.

While Florida Days is especially suited for newly admitted freshmen who have not yet committed to UF, it is not a mandatory event.

Both of these events for newly admitted freshmen provide opportunities for you to connect with The Gator Nation before making your final college decision. Florida Days is held on the UF campus in Gainesville and allows students and their families to connect with resources on campus. Destination UF is a welcome reception that is located in specific cities throughout the United States. Destination UF will provide information about UF campus resources and connect you to UF alumni and families within a city near you.

Since this program is designed to give newly admitted students the opportunity to explore for themselves all of the impressive reasons that make the University of Florida a great institution, we try our best to get key departments, colleges and programs to join us. Just to name a few, Housing, Financial Affairs, the Honors Program, College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, College of Business, College of Engineering, College of Arts, Office of Academic Support, Student Activities & Sorority and Fraternity Affairs have all participated in the past. Our campus partners table during our resource fair, giving attendees the opportunity to collect information and ask direct questions. Secondly, break-out sessions are held where our campus partners conduct presentations keeping attendees informed about what their area offers and how they support students. Lastly, several of our campus partners, such as Housing, will give tours or host an open house in their building. Interested invitees should check out the information listed at the top of this page found under the heading "Tentative Itinerary."

These events are not mandatory events, and one event isn't preferred over the other. We strongly encourage you to select the event that is most convenient for you and your family. So that we may accommodate as many future Gators as possible, please select only one event. Space is limited, so please register early.
