Students with a room assignment can arrange a check in date with UWF Housing.

You must submit Immunization documentation through Student Health Services before checking in.
Apartments and dorm rooms do NOT have sheets, blankets, pillows, towels, or study lamps. Although you will want to travel light and can buy these items after your arrival, you may want to bring some non-electrical items with you. Many electrical plugs will not fit U.S. outlets. We suggest you pack at least a towel, a face cloth, sheets, and a pillowcase. You can find additional information on what to pack here.
If you are not able to arrive to study on campus, UWF Housing will not charge a cancellation fee or hold you to the contract.

Volunteering in the United States

This Study in the States resource page outlines important information for students who would like to volunteer.
"Volunteering is a great way to 'make a difference,' to help people where there is need and participate in your community. As an F or M student, you may volunteer while you study in the United States, but you must maintain your nonimmigrant student status by complying with Department of Homeland Security rules and regulations."

F-1 visa holders may volunteer for public service or religious or humanitarian objectives only. There are no exceptions to these limitations

Report your Arrival to UWF: F-1 and J-1 Students

All new international students, including transfer students, must report their arrival to UWF International Affairs.

You will complete these steps after you arrive in the US.

After you complete all the steps, International Affairs will review your information. When all steps are completed, you will get a new I-20. 

This I-20 shows CONTINUED ATTENDANCE. This means that you are enrolled and studying at UWF.
