Your Key to Enrollment Services
Academic Center for Excellence (ACE)ACE recently partnered with several programs to provide enhanced academic opportunities including a collaboration
with the On-Campus Transition (OCT) program where ACE provided workshops and daily tutoring in math for the
OCT students. ACE also partnered with Student Government and the Library to offer weekend and late-night
tutoring in the library during finals week in addition to collaborating with the Coggin College of Business accounting
faculty and the Writing Center to deliver writing instruction and tutoring in an upper level accounting course.
Compliance. Technology and TrainingThe Compliance, Technology & Training Office implemented and updated the documentation for the Banner 7.4
version during spring 2008. The department is currently reviewing the Banner 8 release for implementation in 2009.
Our department assisted the state auditors on their review of the 2006-2007 federal financial aid audit which resulted
in no findings. We were also responsible for the oversight of NCAA financial aid compliance for 17 sports and 248
student athletes with an estimated athletic award total of $1,257,345 for 2007-2008.
One Stop Student ServicesStaff members have been working hard to raise the level of service and to improve the overall experience for students
when they contact the One Stop. Students are using newly improved online resources more often, and staff
members are able to sort incoming e-mails more efficiently thanks to a new online automated e-mail form designed
by our Technology department. Through continued training, staff members are becoming better equipped to answer
questions. Also, Renee DelConte has been appointed as a new assistant director in the One Stop office.
Office of AdmissionsThe Office of Admissions continues to work to bring in the 2008-09 Freshman class. This year promises to be the
most academically talented class to enter UNF, with admitted Fall FTICs averaging a 3.7 average GPAand 1200 SAT.
Additionally, work has already begun on the recruitment of the 2009-2010 freshman class as the Office of Admissions
continues to explore new ways to connect with prospective students.
ProcessingDuring 2007, the Processing team handled over 16,000 admissions applications; over 20,000 requests for student
transcripts; imaged, indexed, and verified over 500,000 document pages; processed the awarding of over $31 million
in financial aid to students, and continued to handle the high volume of paperwork in all of the other daily office
processes. Highlights for the year included the successful implementation of an imaging process for all records
documents; the expansion of our office's paperless workflow to include financial aid documents; and the development
of a system for printing all diplomas within the Processing Office for the first time in UNF history.
The Jacksonville CommitmentThe Jacksonville Commitment was officially announced on March 24, 2008, an event months in the making.Jacksonville Committment staff and many partners around the city have worked tirelessly to fashion a program forhigh school students and their families to have access to academic and financial resources, collaborate with existingcollege access program coordinators, prepare retention programs at the postsecondary level, and matriculate and

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH FLORIDA Enrollment UpdateOctober 2, 2008
The Jacksonville Commitment
The Jacksonville Commitment is a unique citywide partnership among Jacksonville's fourpostsecondary institutions (Edward Waters College, Florida Community College at Jacksonville,Jacksonville University and the University of North Florida), the Duval County Public Schools,and the City of Jacksonville to:
Increase the percentage of students from low income families who are prepared for success inhigh school, graduate from a high school, and are then admitted to and successfully completea postsecondary education program by creating a "college going" culture in Jacksonville andits public schools that helps participating middle and high school students and their familiesprepare for college eligibility, cover college costs, and continue to support students' success intheir postsecondary education programs.
The Jacksonville Commitment recognizes that student success is a shared responsibility amongstudents, their families, schools, and the community; and will require community-widecollaboration, commitment and constancy of effort. The Jacksonville Commitment partners willwork with families and partner schools to provide needed early and ongoing support during themiddle and high school years. Participating students will be expected to set high goals, take andsucceed in a challenging college prep curriculum, respect themselves and others, and persistwhen faced with challenges along the way. The four Jacksonville Commitment postsecondarypartners will meet the financial need of each eligible JC participating student through acombination of federal, state, university, and privately funded grants and scholarships and willcontinue to provide support to JC students as they progress through their programs.
Jacksonville Commitment College Advisors (JCCA) will be housed in each of the Phase I HighSchools (Raines HS, Ribault HS, Lee HS, Englewood HS, and Terry Parker HS) to assiststudents who are eligible for free and reduced lunch and encourage them to participate in TheJacksonville Commitment Program at their respective high school. These JCCA's will workclosely with liaisons from each of the four postsecondary partner schools and coordinators ofother college access programs to ensure the success of these students and the engagement oftheir families.
Students who are not enrolled in a Phase I high school will be encouraged to participate inpartnering college access programs (i.e. GEAR Up, CROP, First Baptist Church of Mandarin,Upward Bound, etc) and will be eligible for The Jacksonville Commitment Scholarship as well.
UNF has committed to providing full scholarships for Jacksonville Commitment Scholars thatwill include tuition, fees, books, housing, meal plan, and an allowance for transportation andmiscellaneous expenses. These students will also have an assigned Academic Advisor andFinancial Aid Coordinator to mentor, assist, and advise them throughout their years at UNF.The first 6 scholarships were awarded for Summer 2008. All of our summer Scholars returnedfor Fall 2008 to form a class of 50 Jacksonville Commitment Scholars.
ui The JacksonvilleCOMMITMENT
The JacksonvilleCOMMITMENTThe mission of The Jacksonville Commitment is to establish a college going culture in our city. To this
end, we have established the following elements of The Jacksonville Commitment Program:
1. Commitment College AdvisorsA Jacksonville Commitment College Advisor will be housed
in the public high schools to encourage and facilitate contact
with eligible students.These Advisors will work closely with
parents, community college access partners, school counselors,
and College Admissions representatives to ensure ongoing
collaboration and smooth transitions for each participating
student.
2. College AwarenessMany students who desire to attend college have unrealistic
ideas and very little experience with college expectations.
The Jacksonville Commitment will help to introduce college
culture to students and will provide activities on the college
campuses of our postsecondary partner institutions.
3. Middle and High School Academic FitnessStudents will be encouraged to take part in academic
enhancement activities and academic safety net programs
available at their schools and/or provided through our
community college access partners. Students will also be
encouraged to enroll in a challenging academic curriculum.
4. College Application AssistanceAdmissions representatives from each of the four
postsecondary partner institutions will work closely with
Jacksonville Commitment College Advisors to ensure
a seamless transition from high school through college
matriculation.
5. Full College ScholarshipEach postsecondary partner institution has committed to
providing funding to cover tuition for eligible students. The
scholarship award varies based on the cost of attendance at
each institution and each student's particular need.
6. College Support and Retention ServicesAfter starting college, Jacksonville Commitment Scholars will
be mentored and monitored throughout their college years.
The design committee has planned a curriculum that includes
retention and support services. A few examples are College
Success courses, cohort instruction, summer enrichment, and
tutoring.
7. Parent EngagementParent participation and investment are critical for student
success. Parents will be involved and informed throughout
the program. Information sessions intended for parents will
include (but not be limited to) financial planning, financial aid,
and how to encourage children to pursue academic excellence.
Compared to similar programs, we offer foursignificant and unique characteristics:
• Inter-institutional Collaboration
• College Access Program Partnering
• Middle School, High School and College Pipeline
Services
• Postsecondary Recruitment Partnering
