Preparing for the Semester

Nautilus Card

Students will be charged a $10 Nautilus card fee at the time of enrollment and then annually every fall semester they are registered. This is the only fee the student is responsible for as a dual enrollment student, and is charged to the annually regardless of whether the student has a new card printed or not.

The Nautilus card serves as the student’s official UWF ID and can be used in various places on campus including the library, gym, and more.

Textbooks and Instructional Materials

Textbooks and other instructional materials are issued to the students at no cost. Students should not personally order any instructional material to be reimbursed out of pocket as the University provides the appropriate instructional material needed for each dual enrollment registration. Any instructional material purchased by the student will forfeit reimbursement.

Textbook orders are fulfilled by the University Bookstore (Follett) based on current registration. The University Bookstore does not contact students to notify them of their materials being ready. Instead, students are expected to purchase their materials through the UWF Bookstore under their Dual Enrollment account. Any digital materials required outside of the Follett Access materials will also need to be purchased at checkout. Students can begin purchasing materials the week prior to the semester starting. The student can then drop by the bookstore with their Student Nautilus ID and printed required materials list to pick up their order the week prior to the semester beginning.

Instructional materials formats include:

• Hard copy and digital copy – Must be purchased from the UWF Bookstore.
• Follett Access – These materials are automatically digitally issued. If your course materials are assigned through Follett Access, you will need to activate your account within the Follett Access Portal.

Late registration can impact the availability of instructional material. Additionally, if a class is dropped, it is the student’s responsibility to return any instructional material to avoid liability for the associated cost.

Dual Enrollment Orientation Module

Once admitted to the program, students will need to self-enroll in the Dual Enrollment Orientation module. This Canvas module is intended to help new dual enrollment students understand the process and expectations of the program. To self-enroll, students will need to go to the Classmate app in their MyUWF account and select the e-Learning tab at the top left of the screen. Students will see the associated Dual Enrollment Orientation Module and will need to select the “ENROLL” hyperlink to enroll in the module. The student should complete this module prior to the beginning of their first semester. The module will remain active in the students eLearning while they are enrolled to be used as a resource.

Transportation and Parking

Transportation is the student’s responsibility. UWF only offers the campus trolleys as a transportation option. To learn more about UWF’s campus trolleys, please visit our Parking and Transportation webpage.

Students planning to park on campus will be issued a free parking permit through an official request. Students will be notified prior to the semester start of the appropriate form to complete for the permit to be issued. All permit applications are processed and issued through the UWF Parking Services Office.

All vehicles parking on campus require a parking permit. Without an appropriate permit, a ticket may be received. Parking tickets are the responsibility of the student/driver and will not be waived.
