QUESTIONS

WHEN DO WE RECEIVE FINANCIAL AID?

Disbursement is after classes begin and as soon as aid is available. The Bursar disburses aid only after verifying enrollment status and making sure students do not have any holds on their account. Students generally receive their financial aid by direct deposit or by mail from the University Bursar.

WHAT DO I DO IF CLASSES ARE FULL?

If you are trying to register for a CJC course that is full, complete the CJC course request on our website. The request will be processed by the department through which the class is offered. If you are trying to register for a non-CJC course that is full, contact the specific department through which that class is offered.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM STRUGGLING IN A CLASS?

Visit your professor during office hours to review topics you haven’t grasped during class or in the readings. You may also access university academic resources, including free tutoring. In addition, see your academic adviser to learn more about all of your options and resources.

WHAT DO I DO IF I HAVE A HOLD?

Please review the details of your hold thoroughly on One.UF. Some holds may be cleared on the student’s end. Holds will include instructions on what needs to be done to remove them. However, some holds will need to be cleared by an adviser, who you can see by appointment or during walk-in hours.

DID ALL MY AP/DUAL ENROLLMENT/IB/AICE CREDITS TRANSFER OVER?

You can log into your ONE.UF account to see which credits transferred over. Upon logging in, look for your unofficial transcript. Any credits that successfully transferred should appear on this transcript by a couple of weeks into the semester.

ARE THERE ANY PLACEMENT TESTS THAT I MUST TAKE FOR MY MAJOR? HOW AND WHEN DO I TAKE THEM?

There are no required placement tests. The college's advanced classes often have prerequisite courses, but these prerequisites are typically checked before you are admitted into the advanced class.
