Prerequisite Errors
Prerequisites must be completed before registration is allowed. If you believe you have completed the required prerequisite(s), please set an appointment with an academic advisor through the Navigate application on MyUWF to request a Prerequisite Override.
For step-by-step instructions, please scroll down to our Prerequisites section of this page.
1. Apply as a Transient Student
Students from a non-Florida SUS or taking Graduate course credit cannot apply through the Florida Shines program. If you are one of these students, you may move forward with submitting a Non-degree Seeking application at MyUWF (Undergraduate or Graduate).
Florida Shines
Apply through Florida Shines if you are an Undergraduate Degree-seeking student in the Florida SUS (non-private). Meet with your home institution's academic advisor prior to submitting this application.
This application should route to the necessary signers from your school and the Office of the Registrar at UWF. If you cannot see your school within the list provided, then it means that your school is either private or not from the state of Florida.
On the form, your school will indicate your residency status. UWF will base your residency only on what your school provides. If you receive an out-of-state waiver from your home institution and would like to discuss your option of receiving a waiving from UWF, please see the Cashier's Office website and contact them for more information.
Non-degree Admission Application
If you are a student from non-Florida SUS or taking Graduate-level courses, you may submit an Admissions application:
2. Prepare for Registration
If you submitted a Florida Shines transient student application, you must wait until the Office of the Registrar (registrar@uwf.edu) has completed your application. Once your application is completed, you should receive an email from TSAA with your UWF ID.
If you submitted a Non-degree Admissions application, you must wait until the Admissions Office (Undergraduate or Graduate) processes your application. You should receive your UWF ID in communication with the Office of Admissions (admissions@uwf.edu) or the Office of Graduate Admissions (gradadmissions@uwf.edu).
