Next Steps

This section outlines onboarding requirements, system access details, and course registration preparation for dual enrollment students.

Dual Enrollment Application

Eligible students will need to submit the Dual Enrollment Application. This application collects the student’s basic information and allows UWF to admit the student accordingly. The student is required to provide their Social Security Number, appropriate test scores, transcripts, proof of enrollment, among other eligibility requirements. The application cannot be submitted without the required information requested in the form.

The Dual Enrollment Application can be found on the UWF Dual Enrollment webpage at uwf.edu/DE.

The application is an electronic dynamic form. If the student has never used dynamic forms, they will be directed to create a new account. Once they become a UWF student, a UWF account will be created on their behalf that can utilize a single sign-on feature for future dynamic form account access.

This form should be initiated by the student and will be routed to the counselor for confirmation of eligibility before being routed to the Dual Enrollment Office for processing. The application requires signatures from all parties tobe complete. Pending applications will not be processed. The system will send automatic email notifications to the user as a reminder if the form has not been completed within 7 days.

ArgoNet Account Activation and Upgrading

Once a student has been admitted to the University, they will receive a communication noting their UWF ID. The student can then Activate their ArgoNet account in MyUWF. With an activated account, the student will be able to view basic information such as holds and personal information.

Roughly one hour after registration is processed, students will be alerted to upgrade their UWF account. Upon entering their account, the student will see a red alert in the top right-hand corner. Select the alert and follow the instructions accordingly. Students can also upgrade their account by going straight to the My Account section within their MyUWF account. Upgrading the account will generate a student email address and provide the student with full access to the resources available within MyUWF.

Student Statuses

Once admitted, the student becomes active. They will receive a communication noting their official UWF ID number, along with information on how to proceed with their enrollment. The student’s record is then established. During an active status, the student can register for courses and utilize the various resources provided to them.

When a student is admitted and never registers for the semester they were enrolled in, they are made inactive and must be readmitted to register for any future semesters. A student will also be made inactive after three semesters of non-registration. During an inactive status, the student is unable to register for courses or utilize any of the resources available at UWF. Students will need to reenroll by submitting a new Dual Enrollment Application to become active.

A dual enrollment student may be placed on a probationary period if they do not meet the minimum grade required in an attempted course, or if the student withdraws from a course. The probationary period prevents them from registration in the next semester if they do not meet the minimum grade required in an attempted course or if the student withdraws from a course. The students will not see their actual status in the system update since they are non-degree seeking students, but will be notified accordingly should they be placed on a Probationary period. Please review the school’s articulation agreement to see if there are any additional instances that could result in a probationary period.

Credit Hours

Dual enrollment students can earn a total of 60 credit hours within the dual enrollment program. They can take a maximum of 15 credit hours in the fall and spring semesters, but only a maximum of 6 credit hours in the summer semesters. There is no minimum set for a semester.

Students coming in with previous dual enrollment credit(s) will have those credit hours counted towards their total credit hours earned within the dual enrollment program regardless of where the credits are earned. However, credit earned through AP, CLEP, or other proficiency examinations do not count towards the total credit hours earned.

Holds

Upon initial enrollment at the University of West Florida, students will have two holds placed on their account:

The Financial Responsibility hold is placed on all records for the student to acknowledge their financial responsibility while enrolled at the University. While dual enrollment students don’t pay tuition and associated fees, the student would be responsible for any additional fees they may incur (equipment fee for any non-returned equipment, parking fine, etc). This hold applies to all students taking classes at UWF and will appear on the student’s records every semester they are actively enrolled. This hold needs to be satisfied before registration can be completed. To remove this hold, go to the Financial Responsibility Hold page and follow the directions.

To comply with Florida Statute and the Florida Board of Governors Regulations, UWF requires the submission of shot records to address immunization and related concerns. You will only have to address this hold once. The activation of an ArgoNet account in MyUWF is required to proceed with satisfying the Immunization hold. If this hold is not satisfied by the second semester of enrollment, the student will not be able to register for classes until the hold is satisfied.

The submission of shot records and any additional immunization documents should be submitted to satisfy the immunization hold. However, please do not submit immunization records to the dual enrollment coordinator. Students should log into MyUWF to complete the UWF Mandatory Immunization Health History Form. The form can be found by using the MyUWF search bar to look for the Immunization Status app. Open this app to complete the form and upload supporting documentation. If there are any questions or concerns related to this requirement, contact Student Health Services at 850.474.2172 (select Option 2).

Dual Enrollment Course Approval Form

A Dual Enrollment Course Approval form is required for each course registration. A copy of this electronic form is included in the confirmation of admittance sent to the student once enrolled into the program, but can also be located at uwf. edu/DE. If this is the student’s first time submitting the form, they will need to use the Dynamic form account information they used when they applied. Once the student can access their MyUWF dashboard (my.uwf.edu), a UWF Dynamic form account is created on behalf of the student to utilize a single sign-on feature for future form access. The form can then be located as an app within their MyUWF dashboard.

The Dual Enrollment Course Approval form should be initiated by the student and routed to the counselor for approval before being sent to the Dual Enrollment Office for processing. The student will have the opportunity to select the classes they want to register for by providing the course section (CRN).

Once the form has been received by the counselor, they will be able to approve, or deny, registration for the requested course.

If the counselor approves registration and the specific section is available, the Dual Enrollment Office will process the registration as requested. If the section provided is full, closed, or unable to accept registration, the student will be notified. The student will then review what course sections are currently available and proceed with self-registration as approved.

If the counselor denies registration for a course, then the student will not be permitted to proceed with registration for that given course for that specific term.

If a student is waitlisted for a course, they have not been registered for the course and will need to follow up when registration has been released to them.

Students are welcome to change sections without submitting a new form if the course has already been approved. However, if a new course is requested, a new Course Approval form will be required.

The Dual Enrollment Office uses the Dual Enrollment Course Approval form as a guide to process the dual enrolled student’s registration. The submission and approval for each course is not a guarantee of the course’s registration. Students are encouraged to confirm their registration status through the Classmate App on their MyUWF dashboard.

Approved Courses

Postsecondary instruction approved for dual enrollment must be creditable toward the high school diploma and the baccalaureate degree.

Dual enrollment students may not take:

  • 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
  • Recreation, physical skills, or leisure courses, including dance, yoga, karate, tennis, or weightlifting
  • Courses with unmet prerequisites
  • Courses designated as limited access or restricted to specific cohorts, programs, or student types, including Kugelman Honors-designated sections
