UNF offers the resources of a large university while maintaining classes small enough for your professors to know your name. Our goal is to provide our students with a one-of-a-kind university experience while preparing them for their next step.

Our faculty and staff will challenge you to think in new ways and achieve more than you ever thought possible. With experiential learning opportunities in and out of the classroom, study aboard, internships, co-ops and having Jacksonville as a classroom, UNF offers a unique perspective on learning, success and the world. 

The University of North Florida offers dozens of scholarships on the basis of financial need and academic merit. Some scholarships are automatically awarded based on GPA and test scores, but some require an essay to be submitted by a mid-November deadline along with an online application. Further details are available at www.unf.edu/scholarships/.

The University of North Florida offers scholarships for freshmen and transfer students at the undergraduate level. UNF is committed to helping students with their investment in their college education. Whether seeking a scholarship based on academic achievements or financial need, UNF offers options to its students. Additional information is available at www.unf.edu/scholarships/

Admission requirements for transfer students vary by credit hours earned, major, term, and space-availability. 

Applicants transferring directly after earning an A.A. degree from a Florida public institution and applicants transferring under the provisions of an existing articulation agreement will receive priority consideration for admission.

Applicants transferring to the University without earning an A.A. degree from a Florida public institution must display evidence of a competitive profile and demonstrated academic success in college-level coursework. In order to be considered, applicants must meet or exceed a minimum cumulative college GPA of 2.0 (“C”) or higher, including a “C” or higher average and “good standing” status (eligible to return) at the most recent college attended.

Transfer students have different requirements and deadlines. Visit our website for up-to-date information. Transfer students are encouraged to contact their intended program of study to determine if they will need to satisfy additional requirements.
