In general, the dual enrollment application only has to be submitted once. The immunization documents will only have to be submitted once.

The approval form certifies that you are still meeting the grade point average and test score requirements listed on the approval form. Once you graduate from high school, you will be required to submit an admissions application if you wish to continue taking courses at UWF.

- Courses that are not creditable to both the high school diploma and the college degree.
- Any courses for which the student already has credit or may earn AP/IB credit.
- Courses graded on an S/U basis, P/F basis, or not graded at all. Students may not AUDIT courses.
- Recreation, Physical Skills, or Leisure courses, such as dance, yoga, karate, tennis, or weightlifting.

If there questions or concerns about a particular course and the prerequisites or co-requisites, please contact the Dual Enrollment Coordinator.

Students in the Dual Enrollment Program at UWF are considered non-degree seeking students. Registration for this classification opens last. However, a perk of the Dual Enrollment Program is that students can register once open registration begins, through the Dual Enrollment Program manager. Any classes registered between open registration and the non-degree seeking registration timetable will need to be completed by the Dual Enrollment Program manager by emailing dualenrollment@uwf.edu.
Students may self-register only after non-degree-seeking registration opens. Please note that an approval form is still required to remain registered. If a student registers for a section they are not approved to take, they will be removed from the class.
To view registration dates, please visit the Academic Calendar.
The dual enrollment program manager registers all dual enrollment students for their classes. If there are no seats available in a requested section of a course, you will be placed on a wait list and notified of your options, which are:
- Remain on the wait list, and if a seat becomes available, you’ll be notified via email; OR
- Wait until the drop/add week to request to be added to the course/section in question; OR
- Request a different section of the course (different date/time); OR
- Request a different course altogether. Written approval from your counselor will be required.
Dual enrollment students do not have priority on the wait lists, so it is possible that one could be bumped further down the list by a degree-seeking student.
If you are added to the course section waitlist, you have not been registered for the course. You have been placed in a queue to be allowed to register if a spot opens. As a dual enrollment student, you will need to notify the Dual Enrollment Program manager via dualenrollment@uwf.edu to process your registration during the period between open registration and non-degree seeking registration. Once non-degree-seeking registration opens, you will be able to proceed with registration if a spot opens for you.
Please note that if you miss the waitlist release, you will be removed or dropped from the waitlist queue completely. Should you want to return to the waitlist queue, you will need to be added again.
A new approval form is needed only when you are changing the course you are enrolled in. For instance, if you are taking ENC 1101 (CRN 10001) but would prefer a different time for this course and would like to update your registration to ENC 1101 (CRN 10005), then no approval form is needed. However, if you are in ENC 1101 but decide you would like to take MAC 1105, then a new approval form will be required, as this is a different course.
Yes, but only through the last day of the first week of classes (also known as drop/add week) AND with written permission from your counselor. No classes will be added after the first week of classes.
No approval form is needed. An email from your counselor requesting the drop is sufficient documentation. However, the request must be approved by the counselor. If they choose not to send the email requesting the withdraw, then you will need written proof (either via email chain or other) confirming their approval.
Students can view the textbooks and instructional materials required for their course(s) in the My Classes app in MyUWF. Public school students should take their printed schedule to their counselor, who will complete the necessary documents for the textbook voucher. The completed voucher is taken to the UWF Bookstore, where bookstore staff will give you your textbooks. Private school and home educated students are responsible for the costs of their textbooks and instructional materials.
Official academic transcripts are sent to all schools, public and private, at the end of the semester after final grades have been processed. Official academic transcripts for home education students will be sent to the county offices that oversee the home education program. There are no mid-term grades released at UWF.
Coming to Campus
During the dual enrollment application process, all communication will be sent to the email addresses provided on the dual enrollment application. Once classes start at UWF, the UWF email will be the address used for all communication concerning UWF. It is strongly suggested that the UWF email be checked at least three times per week to ensure that deadlines and opportunities are not missed.
Dual enrollment students will still require a parking permit for parking on campus. While the fee will be waived for dual enrollment students, it is important that your obtain your parking permit, as any vehicle parked on campus without a parking permit is subject to a $50 fine. After registration, a communication will be shared with the link for that semester's parking permit request. This form must be completed each semester you plan to attend and park on campus as a dual enrollment student.
You will be charged each year for the $10 Nautilus Card fee. If you choose not to get one, you will still incur the cost but will not have full access to student resources such as the gym and library.
Miscellaneous
Attending UWF creates a financial obligation. It is important that students understand and acknowledge the financial responsibilities associated with registering and attending the University by completing the Financial Responsibility Agreement. The agreement must be completed every semester before registration.

Applications for early admission are considered in the same way as other freshman applications.
