Residency

If you are a non-Florida resident and living in the State of Florida, your residency status will be changed to temporary resident by the Registrar’s Office once we receive the documentation from your CH31 counselor and the VSOC adds your name to the CH31 in-state residency list.

If residency has not been updated, contact the MRVC office for assistance at 850-474-2550 or email us at mvrc@uwf.edu. 

Parking Permit/Pass

Your parking permit is paid for by the VA. Once your classes have been certified by our office, the VSOC adds your name to the parking permit list.  You can then proceed to Parking Services in Bldg. 20W, Room 151 to get your permit.  Tell them you are a VA VR&E student and you have been added to the list. You will need to provide the make, model and tag # of your vehicle. Your permit will be issued to you.  The permit expires September 30th of every year.  You are responsible to get a new permit every year.  You will remain on the list until you graduate and/or you are no longer in the VR&E program.

UWF Student ID Card

Once your classes have been certified, you can go to Bldg. 20W to get your ID card at the VA's expense.  Inform them that you are a Ch. 31 VR&E student.

Books and Supplies

The VA pays for tuition, fees, books, and supplies. Once we certify your classes, you will be able to get your books from the UWF bookstore.
