Exchange Student Requirements

These admission requirements are intended for exchange students to UNF. Exchange students are defined as international students nominated by UNF's partner universities to participate in a one-semester or one-year non-degree course of study here at UNF. If you are not from one of UNF's partner institutions and have not been nominated through your university, you are not eligible to become an exchange student at UNF. If you are interested in becoming an exchange student at UNF, please contact the international office at your university for assistance.

Once you have been formally nominated and accepted by your university and UNF as an exchange student, follow the steps below to apply.

  • Application Materials

    Complete and submit to the UNF International Center the required application materials listed below. Please do not apply online through the UNF portal.
