There are three ways to
obtain application materials and submit the application
(see chart below). Each of these requires the same
information and supporting materials. Correctly completed
applications are given equal consideration regardless of
which way they are submitted, however, the on-line method
will expedite processing and you are encouraged to use it.
This is a summary; to
begin the process go to the appropriate section.

| How
the Admissions Process Works
|
| Application for admission
to Graduate School goes simultaneously to BOTH the UF
Office of Admissions and the Department.
Each applicant's file is
evaluated by Department Faculty. The applicant's potential
for graduate study is determined based on the transcripts,
tests scores, letters of recommendation, statement of
interest, and acceptance by a Faculty Advisor.
|
|
| The Graduate
Programs Office maintains an applicant's file for only one
year. For applicants who re-apply, an entire application
package must be filled out with original documentation.
It is the applicant's responsibility
to:
- Understand minimum
requirements and prerequisites
- Review and understand
ALL steps of the process
- Provide COMPLETE
documentation to BOTH UF Admissions and the Department
For additional information
on who can apply, see Admission
Requirements. |
| Where to Send
Application Materials
Applications,
supplementary materials, copies, etc., must be sent to the
UF Office of Admissions (two different offices) AND to the
Department; International applicants must send additional
information to the Office for International Student
Services.
Please see the
"Where to Send" steps in the appropriate
sections of the "Apply
On-Line" and "Print
from Web" sections for exact addresses and
instructions.

| How
Long Does It Take?
Getting the Materials:
The fastest method is the on-line application. Requesting
information from the Department is longer simply because
you have to wait for the materials to arrive by mail.
Collecting and Filling
out the materials:
The application itself (on-line or otherwise) takes about
45 minutes to complete IF you have all of your information
ready. Collecting your supplementary materials may take
several hours or days. Review the various sections for
details.
Once we have your
application:
The Office of Admissions will not start processing your
application until your application fee has cleared the
bank. The Department does not have access to the materials
you send to the Office of Admissions. Once your file has
been cleared by the Office of Admissions, and all
application materials have been received by the
Department, the Department will expedite your file as
indicated in the "Critical
Dates" section.
NOTE:
Processing times are
fastest using the online
application!
