MyUWF is a secure system, providing users with access to their personal student information. Eligible users of MyUWF are prospective and former students of UWF. A prospective student, for the purpose of using MyUWF, is defined as a person who has completed an application for admission to UWF. You must create a PIN and use your UWF ID number to gain access to the MyUWF system.

If you forgot your PIN and have established a security question/answer for your account, you may look up your PIN using the Forgot PIN feature on the MyUWF login screen. For users who do not have security questions, the PIN must be reset to the default value (your birth month and day). For PIN resets, contact the ITS Help Desk at 850-474-2075. The first time you log into MyUWF after a PIN reset, enter your default PIN. At that time, you will be required to create a new PIN.

The UWF Graduate School is unable to accept electronic, secure transcripts directly from other institutions unless it is a Florida institution that uses the FASTER transcript system. When requesting transcripts from your current or previous institution, please be sure to specify that you need a hard-copy transcript sent to UWF.

You should submit official copies of any/all academic work (secondary school and any post-secondary college or university) to a credential evaluation company for a course by course credit evaluation with grade point average calculation. Request that both the evaluation and the official transcripts be submitted to the Admissions Office directly for processing when available.

Applicants have 30 days after they submit their application to change their program of interest or semester of entry. If it is past 30 days, applicants will need to submit a new application to make the changes. Applicants normally have longer than 30 days to change other information on their applications such as departmental documents (such as letter of intent or letters of recommendation) or their previously attended institution list. If you do not get admitted or do not take a course in the semester in which you were admitted, you will need to reapply and repay the application fee.

1. Apply for a federal PIN (student and parent). The PIN will serve as your electronic signature on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). PINs are issued electronically in "real time," meaning you can elect to receive your number immediately on the PIN website or via email. Otherwise, it will be mailed to you through regular mail in 7-10 days.
2. Complete the FAFSA, available online at fafsa.ed.gov.
3. Enter UWF's financial aid school code (003955) in Step 6 on the FAFSA form.
4. The results, called a Student Aid Report (SAR), will be electronically transmitted to UWF. If you use your PIN to sign the FAFSA and provide an email address, the results will be available in 1-3 days electronically. If the results are sent through regular mail, you will receive a SAR in 2-3 weeks.
5. Submit an application for admission to UWF. No offer of financial aid will be made until you have been accepted for admission to UWF.
6. You must complete the FAFSA every year.

Class Drop:

A student can only drop a course during the add/drop period. The add/drop period is for a very limited time at the beginning of the course, typically the first week. Please check the Academic Dates and Deadlines to review the dates of the add/drop period for the specific term or semester in which you are enrolled.

Class Withdrawal:

If a student does not drop a class by the add/drop deadline, there is the option of withdrawing from the course during the withdrawal period. The grade of "W" appears on the student's academic record (transcript) and the student will be held financially responsible for the course(s). The grade-point average is not affected by a withdrawal but a withdrawal may affect the student's satisfactory academic progress. A partial refund of fees is possible early in the withdrawal period. Please check the Academic Dates and Deadlines to review the withdrawal deadlines.

For instructions on how to drop a class, review UWF Dropping Courses. If a class is dropped during the add/drop period, the class will not display on the student's academic record (transcript) and the student will not be responsible for payment.

For instructions on how to withdraw from a class, review UWF Withdrawal Process.
