Intent to Pursue

When the Intent to Pursue is verified and approved, complete the UF Formal Certificate Application here (https://my.admissions.ufl.edu/register/CertCEApp). This application links the certificate to your UF transcript. You do not pay any fee and you will use your GatorLink username and password to apply.

Contact your current department after you apply as they will ‘refer’ the online certificate application to the Historic Preservation Program. Your Graduate Coordinator may not know how to complete this step, but someone who handles admissions for the department will be authorized to complete this step. Please ask that they email HPinfo@dcp.ufl.edu so we know it is ready for the online decision.

Complete your required courses as laid out in the Intent to Pursue.

Fill out the ICHP Completion Form and email to HPinfo@dcp.ufl.edu .

Upon the Historic Preservation Program Director decision, notification will be posted for you to see in the same online certificate application.

You will receive a paper certificate in the mail and completion will be reflected in your transcripts.
