Can students switch between online and campus programs at the University of Florida or Arizona State?

Arizona State is the more flexible option for a possible online-to-campus, or campus-to-online, change; at the University of Florida, UF Online and residential enrollment are separate tracks, and changing is not automatic. At both schools, students should expect an application or formal change process rather than simply selecting a different course format for the next term.

At UF, admission to UF Online is distinct from admission to a traditional on-campus UF program. A UF Online student who wants to become a residential student generally must apply to the on-campus program and be admitted under its requirements; being enrolled in UF Online does not guarantee a campus place.

ASU also treats ASU Online and in-person programs as different enrollment modalities, but it has established processes for students seeking to change their campus location or program format. An ASU Online student interested in an immersion, on-campus program typically needs to apply or submit a request for the new program and meet its admission requirements. A campus student moving online similarly needs approval for the online program. Program availability, major-specific prerequisites, financial aid, housing, and, for international students, visa rules can affect whether and when a switch works.
