Frequently Asked Questions:

Am I eligible to register? In order to register for classes, a student must be admitted to the University. Students who have not been enrolled for one year or more must re-apply for admission. State employees must meet current admission criteria and application deadlines. Students may apply online at http://uwf.edu/admissions. State employees must only register during the state employee registration period if requesting a waiver of tuition.

How do I find Courses?
Students can access the online course search from the Registration folder in MyUWF. The online course search lists courses which are offered in a specific semester or term.  This service allows students to search for courses in a variety of ways, including by department, instructor, location, days and/or times, and by title. Course and reference numbers must match the course name(s) listed on the UWF State Employee Tuition Fee Waiver form to ensure the appropriate fees are waived.  

When and where do I submit my approved tuition fee waiver and registration form?
Each semester of participation, students must submit a new UWF State Employee Tuition Fee Waiver form after course registration (during the drop/add period). Students are responsible for outstanding fees for course(s) which do not match the authorized waiver form. In such cases, appropriate late registration fees and late payment fees will also be assessed. Approved alternate courses are encouraged and must be listed on the waiver form for consideration. UWF will accept scanned copies at registrar@uwf.edu or faxed copies to 850.473.7345.
