Transient Students
UF Students Attending Other Schools
Normally, UF students are not permitted to register at another institution for a course or its equivalent that
is offered at UF.
Forms and Instructions
A Transient Student (PDF) form is used when you wish to attend
another institution for a semester. It lets the other college or university know that you are a degree-seeking
student at UF. It also helps you determine, with an adviser, what courses can be taken that will work with your
current degree track.
The form can also be completed online at facts.org.
Transient student forms completed on facts.org are automatically referred to your adviser and to the Office of
the University Registrar within three-to-five business days.
- If you need assistance, please come by 222 Criser Hall or call 352-392-1374 ext. 7237.
- Complete the demographic information in section A.
- Have your academic dean or adviser complete section B by helping to determine which courses may be taken at another institution, and will keep you on track in your degree program.
- Bring the form, along with valid ID, to the Registrar's Office to certify section C.
- Student responsibilities:
- Find out the deadlines to submit paperwork and register for classes at the other school.
- Do you need anything other than the transient student form (i.e. transcript, immunization form)?
- Visit the other school's website to find out what courses they are offering for the term.
- Retain a copy of the completed form for future reference.
- If you are a financial aid or scholarship recipient, take a copy of the completed Transient Student form to Student Financial Affairs (Financial Aid) in 107 Criser Hall, to determine if your scholarship or financial aid can be used at the other school.

Upon completion of classes, University regulations require that you request an official copy of your
transcript be sent to us at:
University of Florida
Transfer Credit Evaluation
PO Box 114000
Gainesville, FL 32611-4000
You may ask that the transcript be sent to us electronically if the other Florida institution participates in the electronic transfer program.
