Gator Tracks Transfer Pathway

The CALS Gator Tracks Transfer Pathway connects students at Hillsborough Community College, Indian River State College, Miami Dade College, Palm Beach State College, Polk State College, Santa Fe College, Broward College and Valencia College to the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Florida.  

 

Joining the UF College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Gator Tracks Transfer Pathway will provide you with incredible opportunities to access a variety of resources as you plan your path to becoming a Gator. Several CALS majors are only offered at UF, at Gainesville or a statewide location, because our university is one of two land-grant institutions in Florida. 

The college has a tradition of working closely with state and community college students to ensure a smooth transfer to the University of Florida. The CALS Gator Tracks Transfer Pathway is an effort to make this transition even more seamless.
