J-1 Degree Seeking Students
The University of Florida International Center (UFIC) is here to assist students with making a smooth transition to U.S. culture and student life at the University of Florida (UF). Each year, UF hosts more than 6,000 international students on its beautiful campus. International students may utilize J-1 or F-1 visa status.
Within the UFIC, the Exchange Visitor Services (EVS) unit is responsible for administering the J-1 program and supporting international students who seek/obtain a J-1 student visa to study at UF.
