Policy Statement

This Catalog represents the current curricula, educational plans, and requirements of the University of West Florida at the time the text in the Catalog was prepared. The provisions of the Catalog do not constitute an offer for a contract that may be accepted by students through registration and enrollment in the University. In accordance with the University, UWF Board of Trustees, Florida Board of Governors, and Florida legislative mandates, the University must reserve the right to change any provision, offering, or requirement at any time within the student's period of study at the University. Students should be aware that admission to the University or registration for a given semester does not necessarily guarantee the availability of a course at any specific time, but every effort will be made to meet each student's curricular needs. Students are ultimately responsible for adhering to the requirements for courses and degrees offered by the University by obtaining current information about those courses and degree programs.
