What To Expect After You Apply
Congratulations on submitting your application for UF Dual Enrollment!
Below is a general pathway outlining what happens next and how to prepare as you move from decision release to course registration.
Wait for Your Decision – Decision Release Days are on:
Decision Release Day: November 12th
Decision notifications are sent to the email you used when you applied. Be sure to check your inbox regularly.
You will receive an email on your Decision Release Day with instructions on viewing your letter. To see if you were accepted into the program, you will need to log back into your application dashboard and click on the link to open your 2027 Non-Degree Application and read your letter.
Complete Next Steps Checklist After Reading Your Decision Letter
If you are accepted, you will see a series of required steps in your checklist after you have read your Decision Letter on your Application Status Page.
These must be completed in order to move forward with registration.
Once all checklist items are finished, you will enter the registration queue and our office will enroll you into your classes: students do not self-register in the UF Dual Enrollment Program.
Registration & Enrollment
Registration typically takes 3–4 weeks after all checklist items are completed.
Continue monitoring your email during this time for updates. Once registration is complete, you will receive an email confirmation and your checklist will update with course details, important dates, and deadlines.
Final Reminder
Check your email often for application updates and reminders. Make sure you complete each step as soon as possible.
We look forward to supporting you through the Dual Enrollment process!
