It usually takes at least 24 hours for that application to process.  Once it has processed, you will be sent a UWF ID# from Admissions.  Once you have your UWF ID, you can log in to the myUWF portal and complete the two remaining tasks:

  1. Follow the instructions to remove the financial responsibility hold.
  2. To remove immunization hold, you will need your UWF ID. Immunization records are required of all students, but you have the option to decline or exempt yourself from the immunizations since you will be an online student.
  3. Follow the registration instructions to enroll in classes. Refer to the Undergraduate Course Schedule for Course Reference Numbers (CRNs). 

Once you are admitted and holds are removed, you may add the course(s) directly to your schedule.
