Degree Seeking Students

Transfer Requirements - The College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) has a tradition of working closely with community college students to ensure a smooth transfer to the University of Florida. The College requires all applicants to meet the following requirements before transferring to the University of Florida:

• Obtain an Associate of Arts degree (or 60 hours for students transferring from private, four-year institutions or institutions outside of Florida.)
• Meet the foreign language requirement of the University of Florida: two-years of high school foreign language courses or two semesters of college level foreign language courses (courses must be consecutive.)
• Have at least a 2.0 GPA at all higher education institutions attended; meet the GPA required for the major; and complete specific prerequisite courses.

The CALS Transfer Guide includes GPA and course requirements organized by major and specialization. Requirements can also be viewed from the University's "Information for Transfer Students" at ISIS.

Be sure to check the Additional Steps section below.
