UF PaCE ‘24 term change request w less students accepting due to COVID

Does anyone think there is a chance that PaCE students have a higher change of getting term change requests approved (from PaCE to Summer/Fall) since there will probably be less accepting admittance? For example out of state student and international students may choose to stay local now. So I am thinking perhaps there will be more spots on campus(for dorms, etc). Any thoughts??

Well, for what I am hearing, it looks like Summer B now will be online (not announced, but most likely) which means that regular Summer B admitted students will be online as well. The next issue would be the Fall Semester. IF COVID19 is still an issue come July, there is also the chance that the Fall Semester could be online. Perhaps, all of UF will be converting a PACE program Hybrid. This could become an issue at every school come Fall.

Out of curiousity, did you try?

Not sure about Pace, but regularly admitted students have the ability to change from Summer to Fall. You should contact admissions. They have been extremely helpful in helping people

Just spoke with admissions counselor this morning and was told UF is currently on pace (no pun intended) for enrollment and they are not being affected by COVID. We missed the deadline to apply for the Term Change (April 15), didn’t even realize it was an option honestly, and the counselor said even if they were to open it back up, there would be very little chance of any spots opening up for a term change as they are on track for enrollment.

@goldengirl26 @collegeisago Yes we did submit it…haven’t heard back yet.

Wow that makes me a bit frustrated I didn’t even know that was an option and I would have done it… :frowning:

Just wondering whether anyone received any update with the Term Changed request status?

Some have been made - the rest of the decision will happen by the end of next week.

I know several that were approved. Has anyone had or heard of denials?

I don’t believe denials will be sent until Friday but yes there will be some.

@Melissa96 If you haven’t recieved a response yet, do you think that means you will be receiving a denial on Friday?

Do you know if the term changes that were approved were from PaCE? Or just regular term change from one semester to another? If PaCE, do you know any details?

Per UF, there were 30-40 PACE to regular term changes last week. This week depends on their enrollment numbers on May 1 if they’ll allow any more. I’m on pins and needles praying for a positive response.

@Dowdfam1 I am also…however the more time passes the more I think will be a no.

I called and they said all requests will be addressed and answered by tomorrow.

Anyone hear anything yet?

Nope. I figure it’ll be 4:55p just in time to get away from the phones!

@Dowdfam1 LOL good point! So frustrating…keeping us in suspense.

Lol. Omg it IS a lot. 1 hour 40 minutes to go!!
