NEXT Steps

The final step in the admissions process is to request all of your official documents to be sent to the University of Florida as soon as possible.

Helpful Tips

• Contact your school or testing agency to see if they can send your official documents electronically. This is the fastest delivery method. We accept electronic transcripts from Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, Credential Solutions, and Escrip-safe. Please note that emailed or faxed documents are not considered official. You should select the University of Florida as the recipient during the ordering process. When you order these documents, save any records you receive for future reference.
• If you cannot send electronic transcripts or test scores, send physical copies to:
  
  University of Florida Office of Admissions
  201 Criser Hall
  PO Box 114000
  Gainesville, FL 32611-4000
• Note: Readmission applicants, including previous UF degree seeking students applying to UF Online, will need to submit official transcripts for any undergraduate coursework not reported in their UF record. This is typically coursework taken after attending UF.
• All academic credentials become property of the university. They will not be returned to you or forwarded to a third party. For diplomas and academic credentials that are only issued once, send an attested or certified copy of the original.
