Online Business Courses
For UF Students Away from Gainesville

Each semester, the Heavener School of Business provides UF students who are away from Gainesville with the opportunity to take our business courses online. Students are able to view campus lectures via streaming video and take proctored exams on specific evenings at one of 26 test sites in Florida. To participate, you must meet course prerequisites and have a GatorLink account. Note: Campus-based students who are in Gainesville are not permitted to register for these courses.

Non-Florida Residents: You are welcome to enroll in online business courses while you are away from Gainesville, but you will need to make travel arrangements to an established Florida test site up to four times per term per course to take exams. The program currently offers no test sites outside of Florida.
