CF announces Going Gator UF partnership

The College of Central Florida now is offering students the Going Gator partnership, designed for learners who want to earn an Associate in Arts degree at CF and then have guaranteed admission to transfer to the University of Florida.

Tuition at CF is about half the cost of a Florida public university, making CF a smart economical option for students to start their academic journey. CF also offers support systems including small class sizes, award-winning faculty and free tutoring and counseling available for every student. More than half of CF students are enrolled in the Associate in Arts degree, which prepares them to transfer to a university after two years at CF.

“Our Associate in Arts degree is our largest and most popular program,” said Dr. Jim Henningsen, CF president. “For many local students, the dream of attending a prestigious Florida university is only possible by getting an affordable, quality education at CF for the first two years. This new partnership with the University of Florida offers students a guided pathway from day one to set them up for success.”

Through the Going Gator partnership, qualifying students have guaranteed transfer admission into 19 pathways in the UF College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, from English to history to sciences and more. Once admitted to the Going Gator program, CF students must continue to meet the eligibility criteria such as good academic standing and progress in their selected academic pathway. As a top public university, UF’s admission process is highly competitive, and this partnership ensures CF graduates have a clear path to attaining that top-tier education.

“At the University of Florida,” said CLAS Interim Dean Dr. Mary Watt, “we are committed to expanding access to world-class education, and the Going Gator partnership with the College of Central Florida is a testament to that mission. By providing a seamless transition for CF students into UF’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, we are ensuring that more talented and dedicated learners have the opportunity to achieve their academic and professional goals. We look forward to welcoming these students into the Gator Nation and supporting their continued success.”
