Tuition fees are based on your residency. Here is the link to tuition and fees. One year residency in
Florida is required for in-state tuition. You must have documentation of Florida Driver’s License, Florida voter’s registration, and Florida vehicle registration for one year prior to the start of classes. In addition you must have physical presence. However, if you are a non-Florida resident the Academic Technology Center does award tuition waivers for students that qualify. Please contact the Sharon Cobb for this information at scobb@uwf.edu or 850-473-7468 or go to the Academic Technology Center". The link for tuition waiver is Tuition Waiver.

The fastest and easiest way to apply for admission is 0nline...click here: Apply Online for
U.S. residents and Apply Online for international students. As soon as we receive your application and application fee we notify the department that you have applied. Some departments have additional requirements such as goal statements, portfolios, letters of recommendation, departmental applications, personal interviews, and diagnostic testing. Applicants are responsible for contacting the departments directly regarding any special requirements. Departments that require additional information will not consider an application for admission until all required information is received. These special items should be sent directly to the department. Please read the international student brochure at http://uwf.edu/admissions/intbrochure.pdf if you are an international student. The international advisor is Lisa Roberts at lroberts@uwf.edu. In addition, TOEFL scores are required of international applicants, unless you are from a TOEFL exempt country. TOEFL scores required are listening 52 and total score 550.

Once we receive your application, application fee, and all pertinent information (e.g. transcripts, test scores) it usually takes a minimum of 2 weeks to process/evaluate an application before our deadline. Although we do continue processing/evaluating applications after our deadline as quickly as possible, we cannot guarantee that the department will get your information in 2 weeks or that they will review your application if their committee has met. We do make every effort to get your information to the department before their committee meets.

If I can be of further assistance please contact me. Thank you.
