Classical Learning Test scores may be accepted for admission and scholarship. Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Admissions thresholds can adjust per semester. Students may be offered transitional pathways or deferment depending on their individual profile.
Transfer Pathways PERSONALIZED SUPPORT We recognize that not all students will start at a four-year institution. Our transfer pathway programs offer guided support to students while they attend a community or state college. The pathway helps them align courses to their UWF degree plan and guarantees admission upon completion of their Associate of Arts degree. uwf.edu/Pathways
