To apply for admission, you must
provide the following documents before the admission application
deadline of the university.
The online application consists
of three pages, all of which must be submitted at the same time
in order to be processed. If you wish to be classified as a
Florida resident for fee purposes, the "Information for Residency
Classification" section requires
driver's license, vehicle registration, and voter registration
information of the person who is claiming Florida residency (e.g., this will be a parent if the applicant is claimed as a dependent
on IRS returns). If you are a dependent or claiming Florida residency based on being married to a Florida resident, your parent, legal guardian, or spouse must provide their driver's license, vehicle registration, and voter registration information.
1. Application for Admission
- Please remember to submit your
$30 check or money order, in U.S. currency only, drawn on a U.S. bank
and payable to the University of West Florida.
Applications not accompanied by the $30 fee cannot be processed.
The application fee may also be paid via MasterCard, Visa, or American
Express using the online credit card payment
which will be offered to you when you complete and submit your
application. If payment is made by
someone other than the applicant, please reference the
applicant's full name, social security number, and date of birth. This is a non refundable
application fee.
- Applications for admission
will not be processed more than one year in advance of
the date for which entrance is sought.
- Please contact UWF for deadlines
and any other information which might facilitate the application
process for you.
- You will need to have a US Social
Security Number. Contact your nearest US Social Security Office to apply for
a number if necessary, before submitting this form. The
State University System of Florida operated a system of records
prior to January 1, 1975, pursuant to regulations of the Florida
Board of Regents that required the use of social security numbers.
Therefore, each university may continue to require the disclosure
of social security numbers by applicants and students under
the Federal Privacy Act of 1974. This information was
and currently is received from you for the purpose of identification
and verification of student records, including registration,
financial aid, and academic records and of verification of identity
in connection with the provision of university services. You will be issued an official UWF identification number once your application and application fee has been received.
- Please be sure to answer
question 21A and 21B on page 2 as well as the Residency
Information section on page 3.
2. Official Transcripts
The following transcripts must be sent to the Office of Admissions
at the University of West Florida. Request that your current
name and Social Security Number be added to the transcript
if necessary. All transcripts and test scores become the sole
property of the university.
- If you are a beginning freshman
or transfer applicant with less than 60 semester hours
of transferable academic credit, ask your high school
to forward your official secondary school record.
- If you have attempted any
education or training either as dual enrollment in high
school or following high school, ask each institution
to forward an official transcript of your academic record.
Official transcripts must be mailed directly from the
institution or forwarded electronically.
- Completers of high school
by GED must provide an official copy of test scores (as
well as a partial high school transcript).
- Transfer students who completed
2 years of the same foreign language in high school must
submit official high school transcripts.
3. Admission Test Scores
It is your responsibility to make the necessary arrangements
to take the appropriate tests. Contact your school counseling
office.
- ACT or SAT scores are required
if you are seeking admission as a freshman or transfer
with less than 60 semester hours of transferable academic
credit. Have the official test scores forwarded directly
to the university by the testing agency.
- Transfer students seeking
admission to State Approved Teacher Education programs
should contact the university to determine if there are
further criteria or test scores required for admission.
The University of West Florida
encourages admission applications from qualified students regardless
of color, race, religion, national origin, gender, disability
or marital status.
