As the spring semester comes to a close, University of North Florida students are getting ready for summer classes, navigating financial aid, classes, and graduation.
According to the UNF academic calendar, the summer term is divided into three parts (Summer A, B, and C) with crucial dates regarding registration, deadlines, and holidays throughout.
While Summer C covers the entire summer term from May 11 to July 31, Summer A runs from May 11 to June 18, and Summer B starts on June 22 and runs through July 31.
Financial aid and graduation
Summer aid is limited and awarded on a first-come, available-funds basis with additional eligibility rules for students using their final Bright Futures credits or completing degree requirements, according to the UNF website.
Students seeking financial aid for the summer term must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form for the 2026-27 year. Bright Futures recipients generally must also enroll in at least six credit hours to qualify for funding, according to the UNF website.
UNF sophomore Marisa Long said the scholarship is really important to her and many other students.
“It’s easy to get lost behind deadlines for financial aid, so it’s important for us [students] to stay on top of it,” said Long.
Students planning to graduate this summer may also begin applying through MyWings on April 20. The deadline for applications for summer graduation is June 18 and commencement is scheduled for Friday, July 31.
For more details about course offerings, academic deadlines, and advising, students can visit the UNF Registrar’s Office website.
