STEP 1. REGISTER as a Non-Degree Seeking student:

To register with the University of West Florida as a non-degree seeking student, please visit the Registrar's Website  to find the application for NON-DEGREE seeking students.

Keep in mind you are applying to a university and that admission will not be instant. It will likely take a few days for the University of West Florida to process this registration request.

Included in the application: 

• Non-degree student classification (read this for your information)
• Non-degree seeking student registration application (complete online and click submit OR print and mail)
• Choose "EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT EDUCATION - GRADUATE LEVEL COURSES" as your area of study.
• Resume and two legal questions: Complete the resume indicating your last two years of experience.
• Answer the two legal questions by checking the appropriate boxes.
• Information for Residency Classification: Complete as appropriate for your status.

STEP 2. ENROLL IN THE BCBA/BCABA COURSE SEQUENCE:

Log in to Lighthouse using the "alternative log-in" link for new users to obtain your STUDENT ID# and set up your email account.

NOTE: It will take a few days for UWF to process STEP 1, before you can expect to see an ID number appear for you in lighthouse or for it to recognize your alternate login information.

If after 48 hours, you still are unable to log in to Lighthouse, call at 850-474-2000, press "0" and ask for the UWF’s Registrar Office

After you have your STUDENT ID#, please  fill out the  ENROLLMENT REQUEST form to be enrolled in your cohort.

• If you would like to enroll in 2 sections of optional intensive supervised practicum hours (see "Courses" link above for a full description) please select this option. You may also add this at a later date if you are not sure now.

STEP 3. CREATE AN ARGUS ACCOUNT:

Once enrolled, you will need to request an “Argus” account with the university. Visit the following website to set this up, only after STEP 2 is completed.
This will set up a student email account for you and will allow you to participate in the online portions of the courses. 

Please keep in mind that it may take UWF a few days to process step 2, so you may need to wait a few days after submitting the information above before UWF will enroll you in the first course. If after 48 hours of submitting step 2, you still are unable to create an Argus account, call the ITS Help Desk at 850-474-2075 during normal business hours (CST).

Instructions to create an Argus Account
