The freshman application deadline has been extended to November 15th for all students living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas impacted by Hurricane Michael. Students in North and South Carolina will also have the deadline extended due to the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. Applicants outside of these regions must meet the November 1st deadline.
Does that mean everyone will still receive their decision the same day?
@PhilM1 Yes, they have done this in the past with students impacted by hurricanes (extend the date till 11/15). They should still expect the decisions on the same day.
Because of Hurricane Irma, they extended the date last year for everyone to Nov. 15 and didn’t change decision day. I hope the kids in the Panhandle who were impacted by the storm can meet the new deadline. Would be tragic to miss out on a chance to attend college (UF or otherwise) due to the storm.
@GatorDad305 Agreed. Hopefully they can get their internet back soon. Any idea what kids are going to do for school? I heard lots of schools got damaged up there.
