The process to become a University of Florida student through CF is easier than you’d think!
For new students: The first step is to fill out a CF admissions application. The application can be completed online in about 10 minutes. On the application, there will be an area where you can indicate that you’re interested in transferring to University of Florida.
For current CF students: If you’re already a CF student and want to enroll in the Going Gator program, then all you have to do to get started is contact your academic advisor! Your advisor will walk you through the different transfer options and help you build out your academic pathway with the best mix of classes.
Once enrolled in the Going Gator program, you will receive guidance from UF admissions staff, who will help ensure you stay on track through your remaining semesters at CF and meet all the admissions criteria to transition to UF, including the required prerequisite courses.
