UWF is pleased to welcome high-achieving secondary students into college courses through dual enrollment. Dual enrollment is a coursework acceleration program that allows qualified students to take college courses while simultaneously satisfying high school graduation requirements—without paying tuition.
Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment at UWF
Dual Enrollment is established by law (Florida Statute 1007.271) for public, private, charter, and home-school secondary students. Students must attend a school (public or private) with a signed, current articulation agreement in order to register as a dual enrollment student at UWF. Home-school students must complete an individual articulation agreement sent to the student during the application process.
Dual Enrollment Agreements
These agreements outline the specifics of eligibility, participation, funding requirements, and the payment of fees by the private school of school board/district.

Apply
- Apply for dual enrollment for the semester you want to start. Emails about your application and next steps will be sent to the address on your application. Please use a permanent, personal email and not a school email, as some school accounts may block external messages. You will only complete the DE application once if you do not take a break of more than two semesters.
- Submit your completed Dual Enrollment Approval Form. Consult with your school counselor each semester to identify the class(es) you want to take. We recommend choosing a couple of backup classes in case your first choices are full. Be sure to review dual enrollment dates and deadlines and course registration information.
- Create an ArgoNet account in MyUWF. Once UWF emails you to confirm receipt of your dual enrollment application, follow the instructions included in the email to create your ArgoNet account.
- Submit your required immunization documents in the Immunization Status app. You will use your ArgoNet credentials to log in. This must be completed before you can be registered for classes.

All textbook and instructional material orders are packaged by the UWF Bookstore. Students will receive information about their order directly from the bookstore. Students must present their UWF ID to pick up any materials. Any inquires can be requested directly to the bookstore office.
Public school students should reach out to their high school counselor to confirm the appropriate process for ordering/requesting their materials. While the University shares a list of active registration with our bookstore, each school may have a different process for ordering, as public schools are responsible for instructional materials during the fall and spring semesters. All summer orders are placed by the Dual Enrollment Office.
All other students will have their orders submitted by the Dual Enrollment Office for processing.
