  Official transcripts can be sent to UF in two ways: Paper transcript received by UF in a sealed envelope or electronic transcripts sent from your institution directly to UF. Most Florida public high schools, universities and community colleges prefer to send transcripts electronically, saving you up to two weeks' response time.
• SAT/ACT test scores are required for freshmen/sophomore transfers and those applying to teacher certification programs. Official scores must be sent to UF directly from the testing agency.
  SAT testing agency or call 609-921-9000.

Passing scores on the test, or its approved alternative, is required for transfer admission.

  Limited access programs, teacher certification programs and programs requiring an audition generally require additional application materials.
