1. Complete and submit the Dual Enrollment Application‌ for your desired semester of entry. Any communication concerning the receipt of your application and future registration will be sent to the address listed on the application. Please do not use the email account assigned to you by your high school, as filters may block emails from UWF. If there is no break in dual enrollment at UWF for more than two semesters, this application will only have to be completed once.
2. Complete the Dual Enrollment Approval Form. You will need to consult with your high school counselor to identify the course(s) for which you seek registration. We recommend choosing a couple of backup courses, as some courses may not have availability. This form must be submitted for each semester you seek registration as a dual enrollment student at UWF.
3. 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. After you can register, you will be able to upgrade your account and activate your UWF email address. This will also provide you with full access to all of the UWF applications.
4. Using your ArgoNet account, log in to MyUWF to complete the UWF Immunization Form. Use the search bar to find the Immunization Status app, where you will complete the form and provide supporting documentation. This form must be completed before you can be registered for classes.

In addition to the courses listed below, there is a wide range of academic course offerings available to dual enrollment students. These courses range from STEM courses to World Languages to the Humanities. However, dual enrollment students are best served by lower division courses (1000-2000 level courses) unless prerequisites for 3000-4000 (upper division) courses have been met.

However, there are a few types of courses dual enrollment students cannot take:

1. Courses that are not creditable to both the high school diploma and the college degree.
2. Any courses for which the student already has credit or may earn AP/IB credit.
3. Courses graded on an S/U basis, P/F basis, or not graded at all. Students may not AUDIT courses.
4. Recreation, Physical Skills, or Leisure courses, such as dance, yoga, karate, tennis, or weightlifting.
5. Courses with unmet prerequisites, including 3000-4000 level courses (allowed if prerequisites met).

7. Graduate-level courses (5000-8000 level)
8. Internships, capstones, independent/directed study, study abroad courses or 990 courses.

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

Visit the Course Search in MyUWF. This will allow you to search for courses by semester. Here you will see the instructor, times/days, location and method of instruction. If there are any prerequisites for the course, they will also be listed here.

Fifteen (15) semester credit hours is the maximum credit hour registration for fall and spring semesters; six (6) semester hours is the maximum for summer registration. For the entirety of the dual enrollment experience, sixty (60) semester hours is the maximum allowed.

Inquiries regarding immunization requirements not answered in the immunization FAQ should be directed to Student Health Services at healthservices@uwf.edu.

An advising PIN allows students to process their own course registration using an assigned PIN. Dual enrollment students are assigned their PIN once their first Course Approval Form is processed.

The dual enrollment office will process the Course Approval Forms in order of approval on the first day of eligible registration. Once processed, the student will receive their UWF advising PIN. If the form cannot be processed for any reason, the dual enrollment office can proceed accordingly and issue the student's advising PIN if approval has been given by the high school counselor.

After this point, students are welcome to self-register for any section changes or updates as long as they have a Course Approval Form on file for that course. If a student registers for a course in which they do not have a Course Approval Form on file or in the queue for approval, the student’s registration will be dropped. 

Students in the Dual Enrollment Program at UWF are considered non-degree seeking students. While the Office of the Registrar has included the registration period for these students with degree seeking students, dual enrollment students will need to wait for the registration date declared in the academic calendar.

Students may self-register once their advising PIN has been released. 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.

If there are no seats available in a requested section of a course, you will not be registered for that course. Instead, you will need to review the course offerings to identify another section for registration. 

If a waitlist is available, you will be placed on a waitlist. In this case, you can choose to either:

1. Remain on the waitlist, and if a seat becomes available, you’ll be notified via email to proceed with registration; OR
2. Wait until drop/add week to see if the course becomes available to proceed with registration; OR
3. Self-register for a different section of the course (different date/time); OR
4. Request a different course altogether. A new Course Approval Form will be needed for this option.

Dual enrollment students do not have priority on the waitlists, 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 registration if a spot opens. If a seat becomes available, you will be notified via email and given 24 hours to proceed with self-registration.

If you miss the waitlist release, you will be dropped from the waitlist queue completely. Should you want to return to the waitlist queue, you will need to be added again.

Since the requirements of the program do not require the official records to be sent to our office, we often only receive a copy and are unable to add them to our system. Therefore, the registration or test scores may have to be manually reviewed to allow an override. Only official records transcripts or test scores can be placed in our system. Please reach out to the dual enrollment office if you are having issues with registration.

Individual performance or applied music courses are not approved course work through the dual enrollment program for state reimbursement. However, UWF values the talent and will issue scholarship funds to those qualifying dual enrollment students. These courses should still be placed on the Course Approval Form should the student seek to utilize the scholarship funds. These courses (unless paid out-of-pocket) will count toward the overall dual enrollment credits earned. 

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 submission of the Course Approval Form. Once the form has closed, no new courses can be requested for approval. While there is a deadline to submit for approval of new courses, registration will continue through the week of drop/add (first week of the semester) for students to process registration for any previously approved coursework. Please pay attention to the registration dates and deadlines for dual enrollment students. No classes will be added after the first week of classes.

No approval form is needed. If you are not able to process the drop and would like our office to assist, an email from your counselor requesting the drop is sufficient documentation. However, the request must be approved by the counselor.

Visit Classmate in MyUWF. This application will allow you to see classes for which you are registered as well as those for which you are waitlisted and in what order. Feel free to save a copy and share with your guidance counselor.

Students can view the textbooks and instructional materials required for their course(s) in the Classmate app in MyUWF. Public school students should work with their high school counselor to assure there are not any additional requirements needed from the high school. Otherwise, students will use the Classmate app to identify their requirement materials. Students will need to collect their own materials from the UWF Bookstore and process their order through the UWF Bookstore cashier. The instructional materials will no longer be prepackaged for our dual enrollment students. When checking out, be sure to let the cashier that you are a dual enrollment student so the amount is billed appropriately.

All required instructional material costs are covered through the Dual Enrollment Program.

During the dual enrollment application process, all communication will be sent to the email addresses provided on the dual enrollment application. Once registration has been completed, students will be able to upgrade their account and will be assigned their UWF student email address. Once assigned, all communications will be sent to the UWF student email address. 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 require a parking permit for parking on campus. While the fee is waived for dual enrollment students, it is important that you obtain your parking permit to avoid being subjected 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 that you plan to attend and park on campus as a dual enrollment student. If you do not drive but have someone who will be driving on campus and potentially parking, we suggest having the parking permit assigned to that vehicle. 

The Dual Enrollment Orientation Module was created to help students gain more insight within the Dual Enrollment Program’s expectations and processes. The module is automatically assigned to all dual enrollment students. Additionally, a soft hold is issued to the students to notify them of the requested module. This soft hold will not prevent registration, but it is intended to remind the student that the module has not yet been completed. Once the module (and associated quiz) is completed, the soft hold will be released. The module will remain available to the student after completion as a reference.

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. If this requirement is not satisfied, it will create a hold that prevents registration.

Early admission is a type of dual enrollment that lets eligible students enroll full-time in classes that count toward their high school diploma and an associate or bachelor's degree. To pursue early admission, you must meet freshman admissions requirements and complete the Dual Enrollment Early Admission Declaration of Intent Form. Applications for early admission are considered in the same way as other freshman applications.
