DeVry University-Florida

What is the accreditation of DeVry University-Florida?

DeVry University is institutionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, or HLC. Institutional accreditation reviews the university as an educational institution; it does not mean every individual program holds a separate professional accreditation.

Accreditation matters because it is one condition relevant to participation in federal student aid programs and can affect how other institutions or employers evaluate a credential. It does not guarantee that another college will accept a course in transfer. Nor does institutional accreditation, by itself, establish eligibility for a state-issued professional license.

Applicants in fields where specialized accreditation or licensing matters should check the precise program, degree level, delivery format and location against the relevant accreditor's directory and the licensing rules in the state where they intend to work. University-wide claims about a program must not be taken as confirmation that a particular Orlando-based offering has the same status.

What are the admission requirements at DeVry University-Florida?

Degree-seeking undergraduate applicants generally need to complete DeVry's application and document high school graduation or an accepted equivalent, such as a GED. Admissions reporting for 2024-25 identifies the secondary school record and GPA as required application information. Applicants with previous college attendance may also need to provide college transcripts.

DeVry University-Florida does not report an open-admission policy. SAT or ACT results are considered but are not required in the reported admissions criteria; class rank, recommendations and completion of a college-preparatory curriculum are neither required nor recommended. Applicants should not mistake a test-optional policy for a guarantee of admission.

Requirements can differ for graduate applicants, international applicants and programs with prerequisites. English-proficiency evidence may be considered where relevant. Before applying, ask admissions which official records are needed for your applicant category, whether your program has additional conditions and what date applies to the term you want to enter. The reported number of first-time applicants is too small to support a useful current acceptance-rate estimate.

What are the application fees and waivers at DeVry University-Florida?

DeVry University-Florida reported a $30 application fee in 2024-25 admissions information. That is an application charge, not tuition or an enrollment deposit; applicants should verify the amount displayed in the current application before submitting payment.

Do not assume that a fee waiver is automatic or that the same fee applies to every application route or credential. If paying the charge would be a barrier, ask admissions whether a waiver is available for your circumstances and how to request it before submitting an application with payment. A waiver of an application fee would not waive tuition or other educational expenses.

What types of ROTC programs are available at DeVry University-Florida?

An Army, Air Force or Navy ROTC unit at DeVry's Orlando location is not established by the available campus information. Military education benefits offered to eligible students are different from participation in ROTC, which is an officer-training program with its own admissions and service requirements.

A student interested in ROTC should ask both DeVry and the ROTC detachment at a potential host university whether cross-enrollment is permitted for the exact DeVry program and instructional format. Host approval, scheduling, citizenship and other eligibility rules, scholarship terms and possible service obligations would need to be confirmed before treating ROTC as an enrollment option.

What are the requirements for transfer students at DeVry University-Florida?

DeVry University-Florida generally accepts eligible transfer credit from other accredited institutions, but admission as a transfer student and acceptance of particular courses are separate decisions. Transfer students are reported as able to enter in fall, winter, spring or summer.

Applicants should arrange for official transcripts from every previously attended college and request a course-by-course evaluation for their intended DeVry program. The result should identify which credits satisfy specific requirements, which count only as electives and how many DeVry credits remain. A course's prior acceptance at another institution does not ensure that it will meet a DeVry major requirement.

Reported alternative-credit pathways include AP, CLEP, DSST/DANTES, certain ACE-recommended learning and credit for life experience, subject to applicable evaluation rules. Before enrolling, obtain the current program's limits on transfer and alternative credit, any minimum DeVry-credit requirement and the effect of transferred courses on the expected completion date and cost.

What types of study abroad programs are available at DeVry University-Florida?

Prospective students should not assume that DeVry University-Florida offers a semester-long exchange or a regularly scheduled Orlando-based study-abroad program. A specific overseas program, partner institution or faculty-led trip cannot be established for this reporting unit.

Students considering an external international program would need written approval before enrolling elsewhere if they want its courses to count toward a DeVry credential. The useful questions are whether the proposed courses will transfer, which requirements they will fulfill, whether participation affects enrollment status and whether any financial aid can be used. An independently arranged trip is not the same as a university-operated study-abroad program.
