Next Steps...
You should have received SFA communications indicating your participation in UF PROMISE and anticipated funding regardless of financial need. Again, to receive funding, UF Promise Scholars must complete the 2023-24 and 2024-25 FASFAs. Please review the Financial Aid Checklist containing detailed information about the Promise scholarship/aid and the necessary action items to complete, submit the required documents, and secure funding. Just so you know, all funding is contingent on your confirmation, Summer B enrollment, and participation in UF Promise.
Promise Scholars are required to live on-campus for Summer B (only). We established the Promise Living and Learning Community (P-LLC) to offer our undergraduate scholars a summer experience enriched with programs and services to facilitate academic and personal development. Scholars residing in the LLC can explore and experience college life with other students enrolled in the program.
PROMISE scholars have an extra layer of support, new learning opportunities, and collaborative activities. By the end of the summer, Promise Scholars will have created networks, friendships, and strong academic habits to support their academic success throughout their UF careers!
Students must apply for Summer B Housing, then sign their contract and pay associated fees through the Housing Management System (HMS) Portal. Please note that the summer Housing deposit is deferred for Promise Scholars. The deposit will be paid from your Promise scholarship/aid at the beginning of the Summer B term. For the most up-to-date information on Housing, go to:

Preview is UF's new student orientation experience. All new UF students are required to participate in Preview. Registration usually opens in late March. Look for your UFL email for specific instructions on your Preview Registration Process. Additional information on Preview can be found at:

This mandatory, two-day, informational and fun-filled event is hosted by the Office of Academic Support (OAS) and your UF Undergraduate Peer Coaches and Coordinators. There will be workshops, a meet and greet and other social events. We welcome our Promise Scholars and other incoming summer B students. Students who attend this program begin their UF transition, learning more about the UF traditions, expectations, academic planning, UF resources, and opportunities for involvement. UF Connect is the weekend before Summer B classes begin (June 27th – June 30th). Registration information will be available in May.
