Admissions Procedures
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GENERAL ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
To be sent to the University of Florida, Office of Admissions, 201 Criser Hall, P.O. Box 114400,
Gainesville, FL 32611. Do not send these documents to the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering as it will delay your application from being processed in a timely manner.
1. Application/Statement of Purpose/Letters of Recommendation:
The University of Florida application for admissions should be completed on-line at
www.admissions.ufl.edu. An applicant is asked to also submit his/her statement of
purpose (or letter of intent) and the names and e-mail addresses of three individuals who
will be providing a letter of recommendation for the student.
2. Transcripts:
The applicant is required to send in official transcripts from all previous colleges and
universities that he/she has attended. These transcripts should be sent directly to the

ALL APPLICANTS:
GRE scores are required with the exception of one particular situation. If the applicant

Masters degree, the applicant can request a verification from the PE Board of the
state where the FE certificate was obtained. This verification should be sent directly to
the UF Office of Admissions (not the department.) If the department receives GRE scores prior to receiving the FE, the GRE scores
will be used for admissions consideration and not the FE. While the department does not consider admission solely on the GRE score, it does follow the Graduate School guideline of a 320 or higher verbal score for all applicants. Typically the average GRE score is 1100 or higher for a master's degree and a 1200 or higher for the PhD.
