Student Affiliations Lifecycles
At the University of Florida, there are three distinct student lifecycles based upon what program is being pursued.
The first is the "Degree-Seeking" lifecycle. This lifecycle represents a student who has enrolled in a University of Florida degree program with the intention of being conferred a degree upon completion of the program. The application to become a degree seeking student can be found on Office of the University Registrar website.

The second lifecycle is for those who have applied for a "non-degree seeking program". Examples of non-degree seeking students are visiting students who are degree-seeking at another institution, but want to take courses at the University of Florida to be transferred to their home institution. The application to become a non-degree seeking student can be found on Office of Admissions - non-degree program website.
The third lifecycle is the "Flexible Learning" which has previously been known as "Distance Education" and "Continuing Education" programs. This program is to allow users to take one-off courses across a wide variety of disciplines at various times during the year. The information and application for the Flexible Learning program can be found on the UF Department of Flexible Learning website.
