During the 2021 legislative session, Section 1006.75 (3)(a)1.-4., Florida Statutes, (2022) was passed. This Statute requires all new UWF students to:
- Register with the university's career center.
- Complete a career readiness training module provided by the career center.
- Be directed to the MyFloridaFuture dashboard.
- Affirmatively indicate that he or she has been provided with information regarding the employment and wage prospects for his or her declared major.
UWF has developed a Career Readiness Module to provide students with this information.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
- Who is required to complete the Career Readiness Module? All students who are new to UWF for Fall 2022 and beyond.
- How long does the module take to complete? The module will take about 45 minutes to complete.
- What happens if I don't complete the module? Students who do not complete the module will have a hold placed on their account preventing registration for summer and fall 2023 classes and beyond. Once the module has been completed, the hold will be lifted, and students will be eligible to register for summer and fall 2023 classes.
- I have a CP hold in my Registration Menu. What does this mean? Beginning with students admitted for fall 2022, a Career Planning (CP) hold is added to all students accounts. Once the Career Readiness module has been completed, the CP hold will be removed from your account. If the module has not been completed by March 2023, a Career Readiness (CR) hold will be added to your account which will prevent registration for summer and fall 2023 classes until the module has been completed.
