Application Deadlines and Fees

The application process is a multi-step process. The deadline for application is January 9, 2009. The Graduate School application fee is $30.00. There are no other application fees for our program.

Late of Incomplete Applications

Late applications will be considered through February 13, 2009 (post-mark date). Only applications that include all of the required materials by this date will be considered. Prospective students who submit late applications or do not complete the application process until after January 9, 2009, may not receive notification of acceptance/denial into the University of Florida Graduate School until after the D&D Digital computer ranking deadline has passed. Late or incomplete applications may not meet the deadline for assistantship decisions.

D&D Digital Application Process (i.e., computer matching)

The University of Florida participates in the April appointment date. Applicants who wish to be considered for our program (except as noted for the Sports Nutrition emphasis) must participate in the computer matching process.

Applicants should request instructions and a mark/sense card to prioritize their preferences from the Director of their CADE-approved/accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics or should contact D&D Digital Systems directly at 515-292-0490. This request should be made well enough in advance to allow adequate turn around time for submission by the February 13, 2009 postmark deadline. There is no charge for the computer matching materials; however, there is a $50.00 charge for the computer matching process, which must be paid when the completed mark/sense card is submitted. Address requests for computer matching information to:
