Start Your Journey

Let us know if you are planning to attend UF.

As a new student, you will need a UF identification number (UFID) to perform many necessary and critical functions. Find your UFID number under “Forms” in your My Admissions portal.

A few days after you are admitted, you will receive an email that will prompt you to create your GatorLink
username and password.

All offers of admission are tentative pending your final transcripts. If applicable, make arrangements to send your final official transcripts prior to the start of your first semester. Your school will not automatically do this.

SEND YOUR TRANSCRIPTS TO:
UF Office of Admissions
P.O. Box 114000
Gainesville, FL 32611-4000

Electronic: We accept electronic transcripts from Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, and eScrip-Safe. Our school code is 001535.

Complete your FAFSA to unlock the fullest range of financial aid options available to you. The FAFSA will help to maximize your chances of getting the best support package to make your education journey smoother.

If you wish to voluntarily opt into this package, you must do so before the first day of class.

Register for Courses
