Step 1 Complete Enrollment Forms
Upon receiving email notification of Study Abroad Approval, students will find a new list of forms on their account in the UWF Study Abroad Database at uwf.abroadoffice.net. Enrollment forms are listed here with information on completing each form.
- Study Abroad Agreement, Waiver and Release Form - Details the student's role as a study abroad program participant and UWF's role in offering a program abroad.
- Financial Aid Advising Form - requires students to verify they understand if they will be able to use FInancial Aid for their study abroad program AND how the aid may be applied based on the type of study abroad program.
- Medical History - Students self-identify any health concerns or diagnoses. They also identify any medications they may be taking while on the program. This information cannot be used to deny a student participation on a study abroad program. Study Abroad Services may request medical clearance if a student identifies an existing condition which may make full participation in program activities difficult for the student or cause disturbance to the program schedule. For example, a student with Rheumatoid Arthritis may be asked to provide medical clearance for a program which requires several hours of walking daily on a short-term program. OR A student with respiratory illness such as Asthma may be asked to provide a physician's clearance for travel to a location with significant air pollution.
- Passport Form - Students must input information from their passport photo page and to upload a copy of the passport to the online form.
