Former undergraduate degree-seeking students who have been dismissed from UF who wish to return after an absence of no fewer than five calendar years (during which they have engaged predominantly in nonacademic activities) may petition for readmission under the Fresh Start program. HHP generally supports Fresh Start applicants who had a difficult beginning at UF rather than students who were dismissed after their junior or senior year since this is typically the time that students have the greatest transition issues (i.e. high school to college).

Students interested in the Fresh Start program should consult an academic advisor prior to completing the readmission application.

Additional information about the Fresh Start program is available in the undergraduate catalog .
