Readmission to UF

Why You Should Return to UF

UF campus Readmission applies to students who have been previously admitted and who have attended the University of Florida. Students who do not enroll at the university for two consecutive terms, including any summer term, must apply for readmission. Readmission, however, is not guaranteed and is subject to availability at the appropriate level, college and major. Students who skip a single term will be scheduled automatically for a registration appointment for one additional term.
What is postbaccalaureate admission, then?

How to Apply
Applications are available online. You should apply at the appropriate level: undergraduate or graduate. You must indicate the college and the level of last enrollment at the university as well as the college, degree program and/or major you want to apply. Applications must be received in the Office of Admissions by the deadline. A $30 nonrefundable application fee is required.


Satisfactory Academic Record
Applicants must be eligible to return to the university. If you have attended any college or university since you were last enrolled at the University of Florida, you must have a C or higher average (as computed by UF) on all work attempted at each institution. (Note: Grades received at other institutions are not averaged with grades received at UF for the purpose of meeting university grade point average requirements.)

Students must list all institutions attended and provide complete official transcripts from each. Failure to declare attendance at another institution could invalidate admission and any credits or degrees earned. You also must be in good standing and eligible to return to each institution previously attended.

All readmission applicants must meet the current admission requirements of the college or school they expect to enter. Readmission is not guaranteed and is subject to availability at the level, college and major. Consult the appropriate college for admission requirements. Readmission is for a specific term. If you are unable to enroll for the term indicated, you must apply for readmission to a different term.


Satisfactory Conduct Record
Applicants must present a satisfactory record of conduct. Regardless of other qualifications, if you have experienced major or continuing difficulties with school or other authorities since your last enrollment at the University of Florida, your application for readmission may be denied.


Fresh Start Program
Former degree-seeking students who have been dismissed and who wish to return to the University of Florida after an absence of no fewer than five calendar years (during which they have engaged predominantly in nonacademic activities) may petition for readmission under the Fresh Start Program.

Dean talking to student If a student is readmitted, credit for previous UF courses in which a grade of C or better was earned will be calculated in UF hours earned and may be applied toward a degree. No grades previously earned in UF courses will be included in the UF grade point average. All previous course attempts and grades received will remain on your academic record and transcript.

You cannot apply to the Fresh Start Program subsequent to readmission to the university. Students who have been readmitted under Fresh Start cannot petition subsequently for any retroactive change to their academic records. Students admitted under Fresh Start who do not enroll must reapply for a future term.

For additional information, former students who wish to petition for readmission under the Fresh Start Program should contact the dean of the college into which they seek readmission.

Each student is responsible for becoming familiar with the rules and regulations of the university and for applying them appropriately. Additional information relative to academic rules, conduct, graduation, social activities and failure in studies can be found in the college's regulations section in the catalog.
