UF engineering transfer requirements

<p>Hello! I am currently in a community college and looking to later transfer to UF for mechanical engineering. My question is can I transfer with only completing 6 of the 8 Pre requisites or tracking corses? UF's website states that "Completion of at least 6 of the 8 critical tracking courses at the time of application with a minimum 2.5 critical gpa" is required. I want to transfer in the fall but I won't have completed calc 3 and differental equations by then, so I will have 6 of the 8 pre requs done by that time. Thanks for the help!!</p>

<p>It sounds like it from the quote, but I would check with your CC transfer GC or the college directly. They should be more than happy to answer your question.</p>

<p>Of course, even if you are admitted with missing courses, you will have to take them after transfer to catch up, possibly delaying graduation.</p>

Yep, 6 of 8 is all that’s required (that and your AA degree if transferring from a CC). However, keep in mind that it is competitive, so you do want your GPA to be higher than the minimum.

Good Luck and Go Gators!

Applying to UF as a junior, having completed my AA degree at the local CC and completed all the College of Engineering course requirements. Was wondering if they look heavily on the SAT/ACT? Mines low at an 1800. Also, what is the average GPA for students accepted? Thank you!

They don’t consider your SAT/ACT scores. They check your high school transcripts, but mainly to see if you’ve met the language requirement (and not your high school GPA).

I don’t know the average GPA, but it varies by program. For example, it may be a bit easier (lower GPA requirements) to get into Nuclear Engineering than the much more in-demand Electrical or Mechanical engineering departments.
