Veterans’ Preference

Veterans’ Preference means granting the applicant further consideration than what they would have attained through their own merit. At the University of Florida we do not utilize a scoring system when reviewing applicants during the recruitment process. UF grants veteran’s preference on qualified positions with a minimum of an initial interview for all veterans who claim and are eligible for preference.

An applicant who believes he or she was not afforded employment, promotion or retention preference may file a complaint with the FDVA.

For more information visit Veterans’ Preference – Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs, call (727) 518-3202, Ext. 5511 or email VeteransPreference@FDVA.FL.GOV.
