Question:

Can you transfer from Florida Institute of Technology (Florida Tech) to the University of Florida (UF)?

Answer:

Yes, the Florida Institute of Technology is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) and therefore students can transfer to the University of Florida. However, to be eligible to transfer to the University of Florida, students must have completed at least 60 semester credit hours of transferrable coursework from a regionally accredited college or university with a minimum 2.0 GPA. Furthermore, transfer students must have completed specific requirements that apply to their intended program of study, prove competency in a foreign language (through the successful completion of 2 courses in the same foreign language in high school or 8-10 semester hours of college coursework in the same foreign language), and remain in good academic standing with their previous educational institution. Students who desire to apply to the University of Florida as transfer students are required to submit an application for admission, along with a nonrefundable $30 application fee. Applicants are also required to submit an official college transcript from each educational institution that was attended and apply to a specific University of Florida college and major. Transfer students that are accepted for admission will then receive a credit evaluation for transferrable coursework.
