UF Admission Requirements

University of Florida ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

The University of Florida seeks to build a community of leaders, learners, and thinkers whose education will be enhanced by diverse experiences and who will be prepared to serve and participate in all segments of society. The Office of Admissions employs a comprehensive review process that evaluates both academic and non-academic criteria when selecting students for admission. While admission is selective, it is important to remember that each applicant is reviewed thoroughly.
