What Should I do Before I Leave Pensacola?

Several things need to be done before you leave Pensacola. Completing these tasks ensures that you do not have to worry about them after you return home.

  1. Check out of housing if you are living on campus.
  2. Check your UWF account balance and make sure that you do not owe any money to UWF. Something as small as a library fine can prevent us from sending your transcript.

How do I get my Transcript?

International Student and Scholar Services automatically sends your transcript to your home institution once you have completed your exchange program. However, if you have a hold that prevent us from shipping your transcript, you will have to arrange transcript delivery yourself following the instructions at Ordering an Official UWF Transcript. Make sure you have cleared all holds before you leave Pensacola to prevent this.
