Announcement
Students from affected Gulf Coast universities may enroll
Sept. 1, 2005 (Updated: Sept. 6, 2005)
GAINESVILLE -- In the wake of the national tragedy spawned by Hurricane Katrina, the University of Florida is offering to enroll university students from affected areas so they can avoid any interruptions in their studies.
Unfortunately, because enrollment in this fall's freshman class exceeded normal levels by several hundred students, UF does not have the capacity to accommodate undergraduates on campus across the board. However, UF offers many print-based and online undergraduate correspondence courses. These courses award college credit and are included on the official transcript.
- Undergraduate correspondence course offerings, by subject area
- Distance learning programs - information and registration, all levels
