As a junior transfer, do I have to complete all of my major’s prerequisites?

Junior-level transfer applicants must meet the requirements for transfer into their major. You can review these requirements in the Transfer Manual.

If you do not yet have the required courses completed at the time of application, please plan to complete them prior to your arrival at UF. Your major will make this a condition of your admission. If you have concerns regarding your major’s prerequisite courses, please contact your college.

For general transfer admission information, please see the Undergraduate Transfer Admissions site.

Can I apply as a transfer before I receive my AA degree?

Transfer students can apply before receiving the AA degree. However, please indicate on your application when you expect to recieve the AA and provide a detailed list of the courses you will complete prior to arriving at UF.

Transfer students are typically admitted conditionally based on successful completion of the AA and the coursework in progress.

Please see Undergraduate Transfer Admissions for more information.

What are the undergraduate transfer requirements at UF?

The University of Florida recognizes two types of undergraduate transfer students. The first type of transfer student has earned 13- 59 transferable semester college hours. This type of transfer student would be a freshman or sophomore on the UF campus. Due to a lack of space, this is the most difficult way to transfer into UF. In the recent past, requirements to transfer in this category have been close to, or equivalent to, the Honors Program requirements. This means a student must have a weighted 4.0 high school GPA as computed by UF, a minimum of 3.0 on all college work attempted, and a 1400 SAT or 33 ACT.

Transfer is most successful for students who have completed the AA degree from a Florida public community college, or 60 transferable semester hours at an accredited college or university. As a junior transfer at this level, students must have earned a minimum of a 2.0 at all institutions attended, have completed the foreign language requirement, and have completed the pre-requisite coursework for the intended major.

UF majors and their transfer admission requirements can be found in the Transfer Manual. Please note that in addition to prerequisite coursework, your major will also have a GPA requirement, and may have additional application procedures.
