Non-Degree Student Classification

The on-line application consists of three pages, all of which must be submitted in order to be processed.  You may find it helpful to read the hard-copy application form first, so that you can gather all the necessary information before you start completing the on-line form.  Please note that if you wish to be classified as a Florida resident for fee purposes, the "Information for Residency Classification" section requires detailed driver's license, vehicle registration, and voter registration information of the person who is claiming Florida residency.  This will be a parent if the applicant is claimed as a dependent on IRS returns.

1. Academic course work completed while in the Non-Degree Student classification will not meet degree requirements.
