Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I still be admitted if I do not meet the admissions requirements?
The requirements listed here are the basic requirements. If you do not meet these, you will not be admitted to the on-campus program. You may, though, be considered for other programs we offer including our online program.
- When are decisions released?
Review the Application Deadlines and Decision Dates table.
- How do I make an appointment?
Please email our admissions inbox at Admissions@warrington.ufl.edu.
- What is the difference between the BSBA and the BABA?
Each major has their own respective page:
- BABA: General Studies
- BSBA: Finance, Marketing, Management, Information Systems
- If I am accepted as a General Studies Major, can I switch to Finance later on?
Once you have been accepted as a specific major, you cannot switch majors at a later date.
- If I apply for one of the BSBA competitive majors and am not offered admission, am I automatically considered for the Business General Studies major?
We will contact you via email to ask, and if you approve, we will consider you for the Business General Studies major for both on-campus and online.
- Who do I contact if I have a question about my transcripts being received?
All questions regarding receipt of transcripts or other application materials should be directed to the UF Admissions Office.
- How will my prerequisite GPA be calculated?
The prerequisite GPA is an average of all seven prerequisite courses (or their equivalents). It is important to note that UF does not offer grade forgiveness—when we calculate your prerequisite GPA, we include all of your attempts at our prerequisite courses (or their equivalents).
- Is MAC 2234 (Business Calculus 2) required for students applying for the Finance major?
No, it is not required. It is recommended, if you have the option of taking it at your school.
- What if I received college credit for one of the 7 prerequisite courses by passing a test, like AP/IB/AICE?
Test credit can be used to meet a course requirement. The test simply counts as passing and is not factored in the calculation of the prerequisite GPA. Refer to the UF catalog for what UF courses are awarded for passing certain exams.
