FLORIDA'S FIRST UNIVERSITY


A COMPLETE UNIVERSITY
THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA is one of America's'truly dis-
tinctive universities. Along with Ohio State and the University
of Minnesota, the University of Florida offers more academic
programs on a single campus than any of the nation's other uni-
versities, private and public. It is also the nation's 10th largest
university; yet its division into 20 colleges and schools, with
their 140 departments, gives students the opportunity-to know
and work closely with their classmates and teachers. Its loca-
tion in Gainesville, dedicated from its founding to serve as a
home away from home for college students, adds immeasur-
ably to the educational and social opportunities for students.
THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA was admitted in 1985 to the
Association of American Universities (AAU), the most presti-
gious organization in higher education. Headquartered in
Washington, D.C., the AAU is composed of North America's
finest higher education institutions, 54 of them in the U.S. and
2 in Canada. Those universities judged to be preeminent in
graduate and professional education and research are invited to
membership in the AAU and must receive a three-fourth's vote
of the body, which includes Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford,
MIT, Berkeley, Michigan, Southern California, and Columbia
among others. UF now joins its sister institutions-Duke, North
Carolina, Rice, Texas, Tulane, and Vanderbilt-as the outstand-
ing universities in the South. ,
THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA is a residential campus, with
rich resources available because of its size, that provides a
learning and living environment for the whole person: Daily
contacts-in class, in clubs, between classes and in campus res-
idence halls or apartments-with other students from every
spectrum of society and with virtually every career goal...
Daily opportunities to attend concerts, theatre productions, art
shows, seminars, athletic contests, lectures, and a myriad of
other events featuring nationally and internationally known tal-
ents... Daily communications with a faculty that is comprised
of some of the nation's leading scholars... Working in labora-
tories and libraries among the best in the nation. More than
2,000 faculty members and graduate students are awarded re-
search and training grants annually, ranking the University of
Florida among the nation's top 35 research universities.

UNDERGRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES
Because it is a complete university-freshmen through pro-
fessional and postdoctoral-the University of Florida offers
more for its undergraduate students.
Undergraduates aspiring to graduate or professional degrees
can study in libraries and laboratories equipped for almost
every advanced degree offered anywhere in the world. They
study alongside advanced graduate and professional students.
They can begin their research as early as they desire, even as
freshmen. They can receive counseling from a faculty that has
been assembled from major universities in the nation and the
world. The University of Florida ranks among the nation's top
25 ituiversities whose bachelor's degree holders move into
graduate programs. Its preparatory programs for admission to
graduate and professional schools are recognized by the
world's leading universities.
Students desiring only bachelor's degrees can choose from
over 100 majors, almost all of them strengthened by correlative
graduate degree programs. This means students can enrich
their bachelor's degree programs with advanced courses de-
signed for both undergraduates and graduates. It also means a
wider selection of course opportunities outside a student's ma-
jor field of study. Above all, it means an undergraduate student
pursues studies in a complete academic atmosphere.


COSMOPOLITAN STUDENT BODY
Students attending the University of Florida come from every
county in the state, every state in the nation, and last year from
100 foreign countries. Eighty-seven per cent of the university's
entering freshmen earned admission test scores above the na-
tional mean. Over half the student enrollment in the univer-
sity's upper division colleges are transfers from Florida's
community colleges and other institutions. They experience no
difficulty competing academically with students who begin
their work at the University of Florida. The University of Florida
ranks nationally 5th among state universities and 12th among
all universities in the nation in the number of national merit and
merit achievement scholars in attendance. But the University of
Florida is not an elitist university. And it does not want to be.
Students who do not qualify academically for admission to a
Florida state university may be admitted under special pro-
grams. These students,'and any others who desire, are offered
special instructional programs to help them progress scholasti-
cally. These programs have the central goal of equipping stu-
dents with the ability to complete their degrees.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Perhaps above all else, the University of Florida offers its stu-
dents leadership training and experience. Its results are proven.
Half of Florida's cabinet members, in addition to the Governor,
are UF graduates, as are approximately one-third of the state
senators, members of the state House of Representatives, Flo-
ridians in the U.S. Congress and state Supreme Court justices.
Florida's most influential governmental, professional and busi-
ness persons have attended the University of Florida. Thou-
sands of other Florida graduates occupy key positions in every
known professional endeavor throughout the state, in the na-
tion, and in many parts of the world.
These are reasons behind the University of Florida's leader-
ship training success. The contained campus-in a larger com-
munity whose principal focus is on the University-provides
thousands of leadership opportunities. Student Government at
the University of Florida is one of the nation's most indepen-
dent and influential. Every college has its own student council.
Almost every committee for governance of the university as a
whole-and there are dozens of them-has student members.
The University turns many of its activities over to students to
implement. Students serve on advisory boards and councils in
city and county government. Hundreds of students are em-
ployed in career-developing positions and serve internships in
Gainesville area institutions. More than 300 student organiza-
tions, including fraternities and sororities, require full slates of
officers. Virtually every academic offering provides opportuni-
ties for membership in chapters of national student organiza-
tions. Churches and civic groups in the community provide
special programs and opportunities just for University of Flor-
ida students. More than 500 participate in a student volunteer
action organization, providing companionship and assistance
to children, the elderly, the handicapped, the incarcerated, the
underprivileged,-and the lonely in 14 separate programs. It is
the largest student volunteer action group in the nation. A
nationally-recognized Student Services Office offers counsel-
ing programs for dozens of special student problems-both
academic and personal-as well as leadership training pro-
grams.
The University of Florida sees every student as a whole per-
son. It has planned its programs and activities accordingly.

General Information

THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA CREED
1. We believe the University of Florida stands for the primacy
of truth, and for the integrity of the individual, the state,
and the nation.
2. We believe the University of Florida exists to serve the so-
cial, cultural, industrial, and political institutions of the
state.
3. We believe the University of Florida exists to'improve the
quality of life of the people of Florida.
4. We believe the University of Florida must continue the
two-fold task of institutions of higher learning: to wit, the
task of preserving existing knowledge through teaching,
and the task of developing new knowledge through re-
search.
5. We believe that research must include pure research to ad-
vance knowledge and applied research to seek solutions
for the problems of society.
6. We believe the University must consist of a community of
scholars in which emphasis is placed on intellect, on learn-
ing and discipline, and on the sharing of knowledge.
7. We believe the University of Florida serves well its pur-
poses for existence because of its inclusive, and mutually
supportive, programs in the arts, the humanities, the sci-
ences, and the professions.

functions must have talented students, distinguished fac-
ulty, a comprehensive library, adequate support personnel
for its programs, and sufficient and well-maintained equip-
ment and physical plant. -
9. We believe the University of Florida has an obligation to
make its programs and services known to the people and to
the government of the state, in order to best serve the pur-
poses for which the University exists.

versity of Florida upholds and enhances the values of soci-
ety and the nation.
The University of Florida is accredited by the Southern Asso-
ciation of Colleges and Schools-Commission on Colleges.

HISTORY
Florida's oldest, the University of Florida traces its beginnings
to the takeover of the private Kingsbury Academy in Ocala by
the state-funded East Florida Seminary in 1853. The Seminary
was moved to Gainesville following the Civil War. It was con-
solidated with the state's land-grant Florida Agricultural Col-
lege, then in Lake City, to become the University of Florida in
Gainesville in 1906, with an initial enrollment of 102. Until
1947, UF was the men's school and one of only three state col-
leges. Since 1947, when the student body numbered 8,177
men and 601 women, UF has grown to more than 35,000, larg-
est in the south and 10th largest in the nation.

SETTING AND ENVIRONMENT
The University of Florida is located in Gainesville, a city of
more than 85,000 situated in north central Florida, midway be-
tween the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. The city is
known as an agricultural and small industrial center.
In addition to a moderate climate, Gainesville offers many
other advantages to students of the University. A golf course is
within easy reach of the campus, and swimming and boating
accommodations are available at nearby springs and rivers. The
lakes in the vicinity abound in freshwater fish, while the Atlan-
tic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico are within a two hours' drive.
As the seat of Alachua County, the city is the focal point of diver-
sified industrial and farming activities.
Practically every religious denomination is represented in the
Gainesville area including: Presbyterian, Baptist, Lutheran,
Methodist, Catholic, Episcopal, Christian, Seventh Day Advent-
ist, Church of Christ Scientist, Church of Christ, Christian and
Missionary Alliance, Advent Christian, Jewish, Church of Jesus


Christ of Latter Day Saints, Church of the Nazarene, Assembly
of God, Apostolic Church of Christ, Church of God, Disciples
of Christ, Pentecostal Holiness, United Church of Christ, and
Unitarian-Universalist. Several of these denominations main-
tain chapels adjacent to the campus. These include St. Augus-
tine Chapel (Catholic Student Center), the Baptist Student
Union, Wesley Foundation (Methodist Student Center), Chapel
of the Incarnation (Episcopal Student Center), Church of Christ,
B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation (Jewish), the Lutheran Student
Association, the Latter Day Saints (Mormon), Disciples-
Presbyterian Student Center, and the Society of Friends
(Quaker). All the chapels carry on extensive programs of vital
interest to University students.

TRANSPORTATION
A schedule of daily bus service, with connections to all points
of the United States, is maintained by Southeastern Greyhound
Lines and Trailways Bus System. The Regional Transit system
serves the City of Gainesville. Eastern Airlines has daily flights
with connections to all parts of the U.S. Several commuter air-
lines serve major areas of the state.

THE DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY SCIENCE offers the four-
year program and the two-year program of Army ROTC. Com-
pletion of either of these programs by a student leads to a
commission in one of the branches of the United States Army,
U.S. Army Reserve, or the Army National Guard. Freshman/
Sophomore AROTC carries no service obligation. Two, three,
and four year scholarships are available to interested students
who can qualify.
THE DEPARTMENT OF NAVAL SCIENCE offers a two-year
and a four-year program of Navy-Marine ROTC. Upon success-
ful completion of this officer training program, the graduate
receives a commission in the U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps
and is immediately assigned to active duty. Scholarships cover-
ing two, three, or four full years of study are available to male
and female students who can qualify.
THE DEPARTMENT OF AEROSPACE STUDIES offers male
and female students both two-year and four-year programs in
Air Force ROTC. Completion of either of these officer education
programs leads to a commission in the United States Air Force.
Two, three, and four year scholarships are available on a com-
petitive basis to students enrolled in the program. Qualified in-
dividuals may compete for Pilot Training assignments and
begin learning to fly during their Junior year.


THE DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC has the responsibility for such
musical organizations as the University Bands, Orchestras,
Choruses, and Glee Clubs, and offers courses in the following
areas: (1) Theory of Music, (2) Composition, (3) History and
Literature, (4) Music Performance, (5) Church Music, (6) Music
Education, (7) Opera Workshop, and (8) Ensembles.
THE DEPARTMENT OF EXERCISE AND SPORT SCIENCES
General Physical Education Program offers a wide variety of
physical activity courses to all students enrolled at the Univer-
sity. The Department operates on the premise that although all
people need physical activity, all do not need or care for the
same kind. Consequently, tHe department offers many avenues
for the student to enhance physical health and understand its
relation to total health.
It is hoped that by developing competency in physical activ-
ity, students will be able to make self-determining decisions
concerning the role that exercise will play in their personal
lives.
Students may elect to take any course under the satisfactory-
unsatisfactory option. For further information see course offer-
ings and descriptions under the Exercise and Sport Sciences
heading in this catalog.

UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
LIBRARY SERVICE
The Library consists of two central units, Library East and Li-
brary West, and branch libraries in the areas of Architecture and
Fine Arts, Music, Education, Engineering, Law, the Institute of
Food and Agricultural Sciences, the J. Hillis Miller Health Sci-
ence Center, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, and the P.K. Yonge
Laboratory School. In addition, reading room facilities have
been provided for Business Administration, Health and Human
Performance, Journalism and Communications, and the resi-
dence hall areas.
The holdings of the libraries number over 2,400,000 cata-
loged volumes and a large number of uncataloged interna-
tional, federal, and state documents and newspapers. Many of
the materials are in micromaterial format (microfilm, micro-
card, and microfiche). The University'of Florida is a member of
the Association of Research Libraries, and its collection is one
of the largest in the Southeast.
A number of nationally significant research collections are
maintained as part of the library system. Since 1977, the li-
braries have opened the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica,
the largest collection of its kind in the Southeast; the Baldwin
Library, among the world's greatest collections of literature for
children; and housed in the Department of Rare Books and
Manuscripts, the Parkman D. Howe Collection of American Lit-
erature, which contains important first editions and manu-
scripts of every New England author writing before 1900. In the
rare books and manuscripts area, the researcher will also find
the papers of many well-known authors, such as Marjorie Kin-
nan Rawlings and John D. McDonald, and the Margaret Dreier
Robins papers, which are vital to the history of the women's
Trade Union League in America.
The P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History is the State's preemi-
nent Floridiana collection, and its holdings of Spanish Colonial
documents concerning the southeastern United States is the
largest of its kind in North America.
The Map Library is an extensive repository of maps, atlases,
aerial photographs, and remote sensing imagery with particu-
lar collection strengths for the southeastern U.S., Florida, Latin
Amea anrica, and Africa south of the Sahara.
Florida's interest and heritage is reflected in the Latin Ameri-
can Collection. The department maintains the most compre-
hensive collection of Caribbean materials found in a United
States university library.
A rich collection of serials, ephemera, and reference materi-
als dealing with the performing arts has been gathered into the
Belknap Collection.
Reference service is provided in Library West and in the vari-
ous branch libraries and reading rooms. The Reference Depart-
ment, located on the first floor of Library West, is a
comprehensive collection including indexes, abstracts, bibli-
ographies, handbooks, statistical sources, etc. Other services
include the searching of computerized bibliographic data ba-
ses and numeric, nonbibliographic databases such as the U.S.
census.
The main union catalog is also located within Library West on
the first floor. In 1983, the UF library system introduced a new
computerized catalog system, FOCUS (Florida Online Com-
puterized User System). It enables library users to have ex-
panded and rapid access to a large segment of library materials
in all campus libraries.
The regular schedule for the central libraries is Monday
through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.; Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m.; Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. The libraries serving
the various academic colleges and schools observe a similar
schedule with variations. Photoduplication and reserve mate-
rial services are available.


THE FLORIDA STATE MUSEUM
The Florida State Museum was created by an act of the Legis-
lature in 1917 as a department of the University of Florida.
Through its affiliation with the University it carries the dual re-


sponsibility of the State Museum of Florida and the University
Museum.
The Museum operates as a center of research in natural his-
tory. Its functions as an educational arm of the University are
carried forward through interpretive displaysand scientific and
popular publications. Under the administrative control of the
Director are the three departments of the Museum: Natural Sci-
ences is concerned with the study and expansion of the re-
search collections as well as research in a variety of areas in
functional and evolutionary biology, sociobiology and ecol-
ogy; Anthropology is concerned with the study of human varia-
tion and cultures, both historic and prehistoric; Interpretation is
concerned with the interpretation of knowledge through mu-
seum education and exhibit techniques. Members of the scien-
tifiE and educational staff of the Museum hold dual
appointments in appropriate teaching departments. Through
these appointments they participate in both the undergraduate
and graduate teaching programs and supervision of graduate
students.
Scientific reports are published in the Bulletin of the Florida
State Museum, Biological Sciences, the Ripley P. Bullen Mono-
graphs in Anthropology and History, and in the Contributions
of the Florida State Museum, Anthropology and History.
The research collections are under the care of curators who
encourage the scientific study of the Museum's holdings. Mate-
rials are constantly being added to the collections both through
gifts from froriends and as the result of research activities of the
Museum staff. There are extensive study collections of birds,
mammals, mollusks, reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrate
and vertebrate fossils, as well as archives of animals' sounds
associated with the bioacoustics laboratory. The archaeologi-
cal and ethnological collections are noteworthy.
The Allyn Museum of Entomology, Sarasota, Florids, is a unit
of the Department of Natural Sciences, Florida State Museum.
The combined Sarasota and Gainesville holdings in Lepidop-
tera rank the Allyn Museum of Entomology as the largest in the
western hemisphere and the premier Lepidoptera research cen-
ter in the world. The Allyn Museum of Entomology publishes
the Bulletin of the Allyn Museum of Entomology and sponsors
the Karl Jordan Medal. The Allyn Collection serves as a major
source for taxonomic and biogeographic research by a number
of Florida State Museum and Department of Zoology faculty
and students, as well as a great many visiting entomologists
from around the world.
The Florida State Herbarium is a unit of the Department of
Natural Sciences, Florida State Museum. It is an important sci-
entific resource in which some 250,000 specimens are curated.
Largest in the state and one of the largest in the Southeast, the
herbarium contains the most complete collections in existence
of Florida vascular plants and fungi. It also contains important
collections of tropical American bryophytes and Florida li-
chens. In addition, there is a particularly complete collection of
seeds. The portfolio of botanical illustrations and the growing
botanical library complement the ever-expanding collections
of plant specimens.
Opportunities are provided for students, staff, and visiting
scientists to use the collections. Research and fieldwork are
presently sponsored in all natural history fields. Students inter-
ested in these specialties should make application to the appro-
priate teaching department.
Graduate assistantships are available in the Museum in areas
of specialization emphasized in its research programs. Facili-
ties are available for graduate students.

broadcast operation brings a greater understanding of the op-
portunities and obligations that exist in the field of broadcast-
ing.
THE UNIVERSITY PRESSES OF FLORIDA. The University of
Florida is host to the State University System's scholarly pub-
lishing facility, University Presses of Florida. The goals of the
systemwide publishing program implemented by University
Presses of Florida are expressed in Board of Regent's policy:
... to publish books, monographs, journals, and other types
of scholarly or creative works. The Press shall give special
attention to works of distinguished scholarship in academic
-areas of particular interest and usefulness to the citizens of
Florida. The Press shall publish original works by state univer-
sity faculty members, but it may also publish meritorious
works originating elsewhere and may republish out-of-print
works.
Each university's faculty publishing committee is indepen-
dently responsible for selecting works for publication through
the facilities of University Presses of Florida. At the University
of Florida, the University Press Board of Managers oversees the
locally determined publishing program.
The purpose of the University of Florida Press is to encour-
age, seek out, and publish original and scholarly manuscripts
which will aid in developing the University as a recognized

ORGANIZED RESEARCH
THE DIVISION OF SPONSORED RESEARCH-was estab-
lished by an act of the legislature to support and to foster spon-
sored research and training as a resource essential to excellence
in education and to provide maximum service to the State. The
Division is a development arm of the University, directed by the
Vice President for Research.
All proposals for sponsorship of research, grants-in-aid, and
training grants are approved by the Director. Negotiations on
administrative matters with potential contracting agencies or
sponsors of research and training projects are carried out by the
Division.
The activities of the Division of Sponsored Research are in-
tended to stimulate growth and to assist in expanding a bal-
anced research and training program throughout the University.
These activities are intimately related to the support of the grad-
uate and professional program. The services provided are de-
signed to relieve the principal investigators in many
departments of detailed administrative and reporting duties
connected with some sponsored programs. The duties and re-
sponsibilities of the Division, of course, do not supplant the
prerogative of the principal investigator who seeks sponsors for
his own project nor the responsibility of the investigator for the
Scientific integrity of the project. In direct contacts between a
principal investigator and a potential sponsor, however, coordi-
nation with the Division is necessary to ensure uniformity in
contract requirements and to avoid duplication of negotiations
with the same sponsor.
THE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION, the research
function unit of the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences
(IFAS), has the responsibility of developing new knowledge and
technology toward solution of agricultural problems in the
State. Research is administered through the office of the Dean
for Research located on the University of Florida campus. IFAS
research is conducted throughout the State. Departments lo-
cated on campus include-Agricultural Engineering, Agricul-
tural and Extension Education, Agronomy, Animal Science,
Botany, Dairy Science, Entomology and Nematology, Food and
Resource Economics, Food Science and Human Nutrition, 4-H
and Other Youth Programs, Fruit Crops, Home Economics, Mi-
crobiology and Cell Science, Soil Science, Statistics, Vegetable
Crops, and Preventive Medicine (College of Veterinary Medi-
cine). In addition, five units vital to its research programs,
namely: Editorial, Library, Business Service, and Centers for En-
vironmental Programs and Biomass, are located on campus.
The School of Forest Resources and Conservation includes De-
partments of Forestry, Wildlife and Range Sciences, and Fish-
eries and Aquaculture.
In order to best serve the varied needs of Florida's diversified
agriculture, Agricultural Research and Educational Centers are
located at numerous locations having different climatic condi-
tions, soil types and crops. Intensive research is conducted in
all fields of agriculture such as citrus, vegetable, field crops,
livestock, pastures, and many others. Agricultural Research and
Education Centers are located in Homestead, Belle Glade, Bra-
denton, Lake Alfred, Quincy, Sanford, and Tallahassee (Florida
A & M University). A Research and Education Center is also
located at Welaka, Florida, and is concerned largely with bio-
logical research programs and youth programs. Agricultural Re-
search Centers are located in Monticello, Ft. Pierce,
Immokalee, Dover, Ft. Lauderdale, Hastings, Ona, Apopka,
Mariana, Live Oak, Leesburg, and jay. Cooperative research is
conducted with the Brooksville Beef Cattle Research Station,
Brooksville, a USDA field laboratory, in its beef cattle and pas-
ture production and management programs; with the National
Weather Service, Ruskin, in the Federal Frost Warning Service
for fruit and vegetable producers and shippers; and with numer-
ous Florida agricultural agencies and organizations.
Results of IFAS research are published in scientific journals,
bulletins, monographs, circulars, and mimeograph reports
which are available to Florida residents usually without charge
upon request to the Editorial Department of the Agricultural
Experiment Station in Gainesville. The Agricultural Experiment
Station cooperates closely with the Cooperative Extension Ser-
vice in providing research findings for prompt dissemination.





General

GENERAL INFORMATION


THE FLORIDA ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIAL EXPERI-
MENT STATION (EIES) developed from early research activities
of the engineering faculty and was officially established in
1941 by the Legislature as an integral part of the College of
Engineering. Its mandate is "to organize and promote the pros-
ecution of research projects of engineering and related sci-
ences, with special reference to such of these problems as are
important to the industries of Florida."
The College and the Station form a close interlocking rela-
tionship with the EIES serving as the research arm of the Col-
lege. In this capacity the EIES fulfills its function of conducting
research on many of Florida's most significant problems rang-
ing from energy to water resources, environmental issues to
health-related activities. Of course many of these problems
transcend the state and are also of national concern. The Station
has developed a national and international reputation in many
areas, and the faculty are at the forefront of their fields. This has
a major positive impact on the College since it makes good
teaching possible, exposes students to many important engi-
neering problems normally not encountered in a college pro-
gram, and helps the faculty better instill students with the
qualifications necessary for the successful practice of their pro-
fession. Moreover, both undergraduate and graduate students
frequently find employment and research projects.
The Station receives a small but important portion of its oper-
ating funds from the State; this funding base results in a near 10
to 1 return from contracts and grants with governmental agen-
cies, foundations, and industrial organizations. The Station has
excellent facilities and faculty in many diverse fields; a few such
examples are: solarenergy, bioengineering, manufacturing and
automation sciences, energy conservation and conversion, ce-
ramics, new materials development, device physics, robotics,
geotechnics, transportation research, coastal and oceano-
graphic engineering, microelectronics, air and water pollution
control, nuclear pumped lasers, systems analysis, fluid dy-
namics and hydrology, technology for enhanced oil recovery,
lightning research, and hazardous wastes management:
THE FLORIDA ARCHITECTURE AND BUILDING RE-
SEARCH CENTER, the research arm of the College of Architec-
ture, promotes, encourages, and coordinates research activities
among the College's five academic disciplines: Architecture,
Building Construction, Urban and Regional Planning, Land-
scape Architecture, and Interior Design. Principal, current re-
search interests of the Center include architectural acoustical
modeling, energy efficiency development codes, roofing, com-
puter resource mapping, central city redevelopment, architec-
tural preservation, and construction management. The Center
maintains cooperative contacts with other departments on
campus and with institutions within the United States, Latin
America, and the Caribbean Basin. For information write: The
Director, Florida Architecture and Building Research Center,
360 ARCH Building.
THE BUREAU OF ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS RESEARCH
is a service and research center within the College of Business
Administration. Its activities are organized under three research
programs: population, forecasting, and sample survey. Students
are involved as research assistants in these programs.
The Bureau disseminates the results of its research through a
publication program. Bureau publications include Florida Sta-
tistical Abstract, BEBR Monographs, The Florida Outlook, Pop-
ulation Studies, Florida Estimates of Population, Economic
Leaflets, and Building Permit Activity in Florida. For nforma-
tion, write the Director, Bureau of Economic and Business Re-
search, 221 Matherly Hall.
THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION CLEARING SERVICE is a re-
search, publication, and service adjunct of the Department of
Political Science in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. It
carries on a continuous program of research on public adminis-
tration and public policy in Florida; it publishes research and
surveys of governmental and administrative problems in both
scientific and popular monograph form. In addition, the public
Administration Clearing Service coordinates the programs of
instruction and public service training in cooperation with
other units of the University.
THE COMMUNICATION RESEARCH CENTER, the research
arm of the College of Journalism and Communications, con-


ducts pure and applied research in a variety of fields of mass
communication, including advertising, broadcasting, jourrnal-
ism, and public relations. It also serves as a resource for College
faculty and students in their own research, assists the media and
other organizations in their research pursuits, and sponsors
programs related to the mass communication needs of the
many communities served by the University.
THE DIVISION OF BUDGET AND ANALYSIS is the primary
unit responsible for financial and budgetary planning and con-
trol for the University. The Division is instrumental in seeking
the resources necessary to achieve the goals of the University
and works with the Vice Presidents to achieve the most effective
allocation of the resources. Data Administration for the Univer-
sity is coordinated by the staff, who also conduct extensive in-
stitutional research.
FACILITIES PLANNING performs the analysis and planning
required to ensure that available fixed capital outlay resources
are used in providing adequate facilities for the many and di-
verse programs of the University of Florida at minimum long-

ida and produces the Florida Freedom of Information Clearing
House Newsletter 10 times a year.
THE FLORIDA WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH CENTER,
which is funded by the Department of the Interior, was estab-
lished in 1964 at the University of Florida as the result of the
passage of P.L. 88-379 The Water Resources Research Act of
1964 "to stimulate, sponsor, provide for, and supplement
present programs for conduct of research, investigation, experi-
ments, and the training of scientists in the fields of water and of
resources which affect water." The Center's Director operates
under the general policy guidance of an advisory committee
appointed by the President of the University. Research projects
administered by the Center and pertaining to the achievement
of adequate statewide water resource management, water qual-
ity, and water quantity are being conducted by professors in
various departments at the University of Florida and other col-
leges and universities in the state. Graduate assistants may be
employed on these projects or other activities of the Center.

INSTITUTE OF FOOD AND
AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES
THE INSTITUTE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL SCI-
ENCES (IFAS) is the University of Florida's statewide agricul-
tural research and educational organization. IFAS programs
extend into every county and reach people in virtually every
* community in Florida.


In April, 1964, the creation of IFAS was approved by the Flor-
ida Board of Control. This action consolidated into one overall
budgetary unit four previously separate budgetary units the
College of Agriculture, the Florida Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tions, the Florida Cooperative Extension Service, and the
School of Forestry. Today IFAS also includes the College of Vet-
erinary Medicine as well as the Florida Seagrant Extension Pro-
gram and the Energy Extension Service. IFAS, through its
unique organization, not only transmits the benefits of the land
grant system to all Floridians alike but also is known worldwide
for excellence in teaching, research, and extension activities.
The primary mission of IFAS is to help Florida realize its maxi-
mum potential for agricultural development and to contribute
to the solution of many social, economic, environmental, and
cultural problems of concern to the people of the state. This
vital developmental mission is carried out through the three
functions of resident instruction, research, and extension.
These are carefully interrelated to provide a highly coordinated
effort for the benefits of Florida its citizens and its industry.
This effort is guided by the Vice President for Agricultural Af-
S fairs.
The offices of the Vice President as well as the Deans for Resi-
dent Instruction, Research, and Extension are located near the
center of campus in McCarty Hall. Administrative offices of the
School of Forest Resources and Conservation are located in
Newins-Ziegler Hall. The Hume Agricultural Library is located
in the McCarty Hall complex.
The resident instruction programs conducted through the
College of Agriculture and the School of Forest Resources and
Conservation are concerned with educating young men and
women for the nation's growing and increasingly complex agri-
cultural industry. The curricula for the different fields of study
are structured to provide the business, technological, and sci-
ence education necessary for graduates to meet the ever chang-
ing needs of a diverse and highly specialized agriculture as well
as related business and industry. All academic departments of-
fer an undergraduate program leading to a Bachelor of Science
in Agriculture. The School of Forest Resources and Conserva-
tion offers an undergraduate program which leads to the Bache-
lor of Science in Forest Resources and Conservation. Graduate
programs at the master's level are offered by all academic units.
The Doctor of Philosophy degree is offered in 12 specialties.
The mission of the IFAS research programs is one of develop-
ment as well as improving existing technology to enable Flori-
da's agricultural industry to become more efficient, particularly
in reducing dependence on consumption of fossil fuels; to im-
prove consumer health and nutrition; and to improve the social
and economic well-being of producers and consumers of agri-
cultural commodities and resources. Through the network of
22 research and education centers, located in various areas of
the state, applied as well as basic research efforts develop new
and improved technology to meet the agricultural needs of
Florida. Additional IFAS research information is contained un-
der THE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION of the Orga-
nized Research section.
The Florida Cooperative Extension Service is administered by
IFAS in cooperation with the several Boards of County Commis-
sioners in the state and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Ex-
tension offices in all 67 counties are responsible for the transfer
and application of knowledge through nonresident educa-
tional programs. These programs are tailored to fit the needs of
the many audiences in agricultural production, marketing, and
utilization; home economics; community resource develop-
ment; marine sciences; and energy. Audiences include adults
and youth, rural and urban citizens, minorities, and people
from all economic levels.
The Center for Natural Resources was created in October
1973 to provide statewide coordination for the IFAS research
and education programs concerned with solving some of the
serious environmental and natural resources problems related
to agriculture throughout Florida. The Center is involved in de-
veloping ways to protect managed agriculture ecosystems from
environmental damage, integrating environmental practices
into agricultural production technology, and protecting and en-
hancing the quality of all of Florida's environment.






General

GENERAL INFORMATION


In 1980, IFAS received approval for the establishment of the
Center for Biomass Energy Systems. The Center coordinates
planning, development, and implementation of research re-
lated to production of various types of plant biomass, methods
of converting biomass to practical forms of fuel, and systems for
utilizing bio-fuels and their co- and by-products.
The creation of an Office of International Programs in 1966
formalized the international commitment of IFAS. The Office of
International Programs is responsible-for administration, coor-
dination, and development of all activities which build or
strengthen the international dimension of IFAS. This includes
participation in the determination of contract and grant policy,
development of outside funding sources for international re-
search and training projects, and assistance in the initiation of
new education programs. Integration of international programs
into each department is a specific objective. This provides a
unique opportunity for focusing maximum resources available
on the project. Both faculty in the state and those overseas ben-
efit by the interchange of ideas. Education and research is han-
dled under the same office by the Center for Tropical
Agriculture established in 1965.


THE J. HILLS MILLER
HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER
Outreach to people through patient care, education, re-
search, and community service has been the guiding rule of
the University of Florida's j. Hillis Miller Health ScienceCenter
since its founding in 1956.
Today these services emanate from a modern institution that
encompasses six colleges Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy,
Health Related Professions, Dentistry, and Veterinary Medicine
- and two teaching hospitals Shands for human patients and
the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital for animals.
Shands Hospital, under private corporate management since
1980, serves as a major referral center for modern patient care


and clinical training of students in the health professions. The
Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital serves the state's practic-
ing veterinarians by providing a modern, well-equipped facility
for referring animal patients with rare or complicated diseases.
The state's first College of Dentistry became operational at
the Health Center in 1975, followed by the first College of Vet-
erinary Medicine in late 1977.
The care of patients and the education of health practitioners
are strengthened by the Health Center's affiliations with the
nearby Veterans Administration Medical Center, plus a cooper-
ative educational program with 11 urban hospitals, 3 colleges
in Jacksonville, and educational affiliations with hospitals in
Pensacola and Orlando.
Presently some 3,600 students are receiving training at the
Health Center through 44 different health professions pro-
grams. These academic programs help the students to under-
stand that health care involves the health team: the physician;
the nurse; the dentist; the pharmacist; persons in health related
professions; the researcher; the educator; and the counselor..
Students learn that by training together, and later by working
Together, they will contribute more effectively to the patient's
well-being.
In addition, the Health Center's extensive involvement in re-
search (a multimillion dollar enterprise of its own) brings the
students and health care practitioners in touch with some of the
latest information regarding diagnosis, treatment, and preven-
tion of illness.
Since the opening of its first units the Colleges of Medicine
and Nursing the Health Center has become a leading center
for health care, education, and research in the Southeast. The
institution is located on the southern edge of the University of
Florida campus and is named for the late president of the uni-
versity, Dr. J. Hillis Miller. Dr. Miller's vision and determination
helped formulate the early planning of the health complex as an
integral part of the university.










Admissions

APPLICATIONS FOR ADMISSIONS
Application for admission to any undergraduate College,
School, or Division of the University must be made to the Ad-
missions Section of the Office of the Registrar on the forms pre-
scribed and by the dates indicated below. It is quite proper to
correspond with Deans, Directors, or Department Chairper-
sons, but such contact with University Officers does not in any
way eliminate the necessity for filing a formal application in the
Office of the Registrar by the dates specified.
How to Apply: An applicant should address a request to the
Admissions Section, Office of the Registrar, University of Flor-
ida, asking for application forms. Forms and directions for com-
pletion of applications vary with the level of entry at the
University and the applicant should indicate that forms are be-
ing requested for admission as a Freshman, Undergraduate
Transfer, Postbaccalaureate, Graduate, Dental, Law, Medical,
Veterinary Medicine, or Special student, as the case might be.
IMPORTANT NOTE: An application for admission must be
filed for the specific term that the student wishes to enter the
University and will be considered for entrance in that term
ONLY. Applicants wishing to change their planned entry date
should contact the Admissions Office for application instruc-
tions. An approval for admission is valid ONLY for entrance in
the term specified in the admission notice and does not in any
way imply that approval would also be given for entrance in any
other term.

GENERAL STATEMENT
The University encourages applications from qualified appli-
cants of both sexes from all cultural, racial, religious, and ethnic
groups. The University does not discriminate on the basis of
handicap or age in admission or access to its programs and ac-
tivities. Both the Educational Testing Service (SAT) and the
American College Testing Program (ACT) have brochures de-
scribing special testing arrangements for handicapped appli-
cants, and there are alternate admissions procedures for
handicapped applicants who are unable to take the required
tests.
A brief summary of the general requirements for admission or
readmission to any college or division of the University is given
below:
1. A satisfactory academic record. Each applicant must fur-
nish a complete chronological record of educational institu-
tions previously attended. Official transcripts must be
submitted in accordance with instructions which accompany
the application form.
2. Satisfactory scores on achievement tests or aptitude tests
as noted in the application instructions.
3. A satisfactory conduct record.
4. Students whose native language is not English must sub-
mit TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores in
addition to other required test scores.
NOTE: Board of Regents regulations provide that furnishing
false or fraudulent statements or information in connection
with an application for admission or residence affidavit may
result in disciplinary action, denial of admission, and invalida-
tion of credits or degrees earned.
The specific requirements for readmission (at the same or a
different level) of a student previously enrolled at the University
of Florida are given in the Student Academic Regulations sec-
tion of this catalog (see Table of Contents).
The specific requirements for admission to the University of
Florida for the first time as a Freshman, Undergraduate Transfer,
Postbaccalaureate, Graduate, Dental, Law, Medical, Veterinary
Medicine, or Special student may be found in the appropriate
sections which follow. It should be understood, however, that
minimum requirements are given and that admission to the
University is a selective process. The satisfaction of minimum
requirements does not automatically guarantee admission. Un-
der Board of Regents policy up to ten percent of the students


admitted during the academic year at any level may be admitted
as exceptions to the minimum requirements. The University
Admissions Committee is the agency at the University of Flor-
ida that is responsible for the admission of undergraduate stu-
dents under this exception policy. For additional information
regarding this policy, contact the Director for Minority and Dis-
advantaged Admissions, Office of the Registrar.
The admission requirements have been arrived at after a very
careful study of the experiences of thousands of students over a
long period of years. In every case minimum requirements have
evolved from studies of student performance at the University
of Florida. These studies have had as a primary objective the
identification of factors that would indicate a reasonable
chance for successful completion of academic work at the Uni-
versity of Florida.
The University Admissions Committee is responsible for ad-
ministering all admissions to the University and its various
components including applicants approved as exceptions to
the minimum admission requirements set forth in this catalog.
Students who are planning to enter the University of Florida
for the first time will be considered for admission as follows.

The Traveling Scholar Program affords graduate students at
State University System institutions an opportunity to take
coursework or conduct research activities at any of the other
institutions in the System. Coursework taken under the auspi-
ces of the Traveling Scholar Program at another university in the
System will apply for graduate credit at the student's home insti-
tution. The deans of the graduate schools of the State universi-
ties are the coordinators of the program. For details regarding
the Traveling Scholar Program and approval to participate in it,
a student must apply to the dean of the graduate school on his/
her home campus.





General

ADMISSIONS


UNDERGRADUATE
INTERINSTITUTIONAL
REGISTRATION PROGRAM
The Undergraduate Interinstitutional Registration Program
enables students at State University System institutions to take
advantage of special resources and programs available on an-
other campus in the System but not available at their home in-
stitution, e.g., special course offerings, research opportunities,
unique laboratories, overseas study programs, and library col-
lections. Courseworktaken under the Undergraduate Interinsti-
tutional Registration Program will be accepted for credit at the
student's home institution. A student must be recommended to
participate in the program by his/her own academic dean, who
will initiate a visiting arrangement with the appropriate dean at
the host institution.

PERSONAL HEALTH
HISTORY REQUIREMENT
Each student accepted for admission shall submit, prior to
registration, proof of immunization for measles and,rubella.
When the application for admission is approved, a form will be
forwarded for the student to complete and return. No student
will be allowed to register until the admissions office has re-
ceived the form and it has been forwarded to and approved by
the University Student Health Service.

ADMISSION AS A FRESHMAN

(APPLICANTS WHO HAVE NEVER ATTENDED COLLEGE)
When to Apply: No application will be considered for the
Freshman Class more than one year in advance of the term for
which entrance is sought. The best time to apply is the early
part of the Senior year in secondary school. Priority in admis-
sion to the Fall class will be given to qualified applicants whose
applications and supporting records are received in the Admis-
sions Office prior to March 1st. Applications for the Fall class
received after March 1 st will be considered on a "space avail-
able" basis only. The deadlines for receipt of applications for
other terms are listed in the University Calendar.
Admission of students is on a selective basis. The availability
of community junior colleges and other state universities in
Florida has caused the Board of Regents to assign to the Univer-
sity of Florida a role in the total state system of higher education
which demands that the entering Freshman Class be limited in
number. Such limitation does not prevent students from subse-
quently applying for admission to upper division and profes-
sional schools of the University since they may attend junior
colleges or other universities and if qualified, then transfer to
the University's upper division colleges in accordance with
rules printed elsewhere in this catalog.
The requirements for admission set forth below are desig-
nated to give priority to those applicants whose potential on the
basis of their record indicates the greatest likelihood of success
and the obtaining of maximum benefits from the Lower Divi-
sion program at the University of Florida.

A. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION-FLORIDA
STUDENTS
For consideration a student must meet the following mini-
mums:
1. Graduation from an accredited secondary school or the
equivalent (G.E.D., etc.).

6. A record of good conduct. Major or continuing difficulty
with school or other officials may make an applicant ineligi-
ble regardless of academic qualifications/
Please note: Applicants who present scores on the G.E.D.
(General Equivalency Diploma) for satisfaction of the high
school graduation requirement must also present records from
secondary schools attended and test scores in order to be con-
sidered for admission. The applicant's overall academic back-
ground as manifested in these records will be considered in the
decision-making process. Any Florida student who meets the
above minimum admission requirements and is interested in
attending the University of Florida is urged to submit an appli-
cation. The University will do everything possible to accept all
qualified applicants who apply before the application deadline
date. If the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number
that the University is permitted to enroll, admission will be oqn a
selective basis. An applicant's total high school record includ-
ing grades, test scores, educational objective and pattern of
courses completed, rank in class, school recommendation, and
personal record will be considered in the selection process.
Composite pictures of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
results of recent Freshman classes at the University of Florida
indicate that more than 50 percent score 500 or above on the
Verbal section and more than 75 percent score 500 or above on
the Math section. In addition, more than 50 percent of each
entering class has earned a B or better average in high school
academic subjects. While there is no minimum grade average
or test score which in itself assures a student of admission or
success in college, prospective applicants are urged to discuss
the meaning and implication of these data with their school
counselors when considering the University of Florida.

B. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION-NON-FLORIDA
STUDENTS
Because of a limited entering Freshman class each Fall, only a .
small number of highly qualified students from states other than
Florida may be admitted. The minimum requirements for con-
sideration are essentially the same as for Florida students ex-
cept that priority in consideration for admission will be given to
those applicants who present scores of at least 600 on each
section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance
Examination Board and an academic average of B or better.

Early Admission
Applications for Early Admission (i.e. admission following
completion of the Junior year in high school) from superior stu-
dents are encouraged and will be considered on an individual
basis by the University's Admissions Committee. Applications
should be submitted in accordance with deadlines published in
the University Calendar.
In addition to the application, the following items are needed
for processing Early Admission applicants.
1. A written statement by the student setting forth reasons for
requesting early admission.

record covering 9th, 10th, and 11 th years. Generally, an over-
all academic average of B + is expected.
3. Results of either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the
American College Testing Program (ACT). Generally a score
of approximately 600 on each section of the SAT or a compos-
ite score of 28 on the ACT is expected.
4. A letter of recommendation from the student's high school
principal or guidance counselor. The letter should give spe-
cific reasons as to why the applicant would profit more from
Early Admission than by completion of the Senior year in high
school.
An applicant for Early Admission may be required to come to
the campus for interviews by members of the Admissions Com-
mittee before a decision is made on the application. The Admis-
sions Office will advise the applicant if interviews will be
required after all of the above items have been received and
evaluated. IMPORTANT: Please note than an applicant should
NOT report for interviews until advised by the Admissions Of-
fice.
The University of Florida provides numerous opportunities
other than Early Admission by which a student may accelerate
graduation. For additional information, please refer to the sec-
tion of this catalog entitled Time Shortened Degree Opportuni-
ties.

college-level course taken in high school. Depending on the
results of the examination, the student may receive University
credit for courses covering similar material or exemption from
such courses without credit. Under the College Level Examina-
tion Program, the University grants credits for satisfactory
scores in each of the five areas of the CLEP General Examina-
tions. For further information, please refer to the section of the
catalog entitled Time Shortened Degree Opportunities.
Early Decision for Superior Students. Students with superior
secondary school records (academic average at least 3.5) and
Junior year high school SAT test scores (approximately 600 each
on the Verbal and Mathematic sections) may apply for early
decision. The student must certify that this is his or her only
application and this statement must be received by November
1, and, if admitted, the student must make a commitment to
attend the University of Florida, accompanied by his or her
housing payment, by December 1. *

undergraduate programs, the sequence of professional courses
begins ONLY in the Fall Term of the junior year.) An applicant
who waits until the last possible date to file an application may
find that it is impossible to furnish the necessary supporting
records in time to permit a decision for the term that admission
is desired.
In this section are listed the general requirements for admis-
sion of undergraduate transfer students. It should be observed,
however, that ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY IS A SELEC-
TIVE PROCESS AND SATISFYING THESE GENERAL REQUIRE-
MENTS DOES NOT GUARANTEE ACCEPTANCE. Attention is
also directed to the fact that Upper Division colleges of the
University have established enrollment quotas because of limi-
tations of space and facilities. Transfer applicants who meet the
minimum admission requirements will be referred to the selec-
tion committee of the appropriate College for consideration of
their enrollment within the college's established quotas.
A transfer applicant should refer to the General Information
and Colleges sections of this catalog for an explanation of the
academic organization of the University. (See the Table of Con-
tents.)
If an applicant is accepted for admission, courses which rea-
sonably parallel the curriculum of the University of Florida that
were completed with grades of D or higher at other accredited
institutions are acceptable for transfer credit. It is the preroga-
tive of the college (within the University) that administers the
work for the degree being sought to determine how transfer
credit may be used in satisfying that degree's specific course
requirements. Not more than 64 semester hours (or 96 quarter
hours) of credit transferred from or through a junior college may
be applied toward the total credit hours requirement for a Uni-
versity of Florida degree. Courses completed at a junior college
in excess of a total of 64 semester hours may serve to meet
specific course requirements for a University of Florida degree
but the credit hours represented by those courses will not re-
duce the number of credit hours to be completed at the Univer-
sity.

A. FLORIDA PUBLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE GRADUATES
This section applies ONLY to students seeking to transfer di-
rectly from a Florida public junior college with the Associate of
Arts degree in a university parallel program. All other junior
college applicants and undergraduate transfer applicants from
four-year or upper division colleges and universities should
consult Section B which follows.
The University of Florida subscribes to the Articulation
Agreement between the State Universities and Public Junior
Colleges of Florida. Under this agreement, any graduate of a
State approved, Florida public junior college is eligible for ad-
mission to nonlimited access programs at the University if the
student has completed the university parallel program and re-
ceived the Associate of Arts degree, provided the degree has
been awarded on the basis of the following:
1. At least 60 semester hours of academic work exclusive of
occupational courses;
2. An approved general education program of at least 36 se-
mester hours;
3. A grade point average of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 system on all
college level academic courses attempted.





General

ADMISSIONS


By law, all applicants seeking admission to a program in
teacher education must submit scores on the Scholastic Apti-
tude Test (SAT) or the American College Test (ACT). These scores
should be forwarded to the Admissions Office as soon as possi-
ble after an application for admission has been submitted.
Some colleges with enrollment quotas may require applicants
to submit test scores as a part of their selection process. When
test scores are required by an Upper Division college, the appli-
cants will be advised directly by that college.
An undergraduate transfer applicant who will enter the Uni-
versity of Florida with junior class standing (AA degree from a
Florida public community college or 60 semester hours of ac-
ceptable transfer credit) must have satisfactorily completed the
College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) in order to be ad-
mitted in a degree-seeking status.
Within space and fiscal limitations, applicants who have sat-
isfied the above minimum requirements will be considered for
admission attheJunior level to an Upper Division college. Such
students may be required to take additional preprofessional
courses not completed at the junior college. However, such
courses will not reduce the number of credits required in the
Upper Division for a degree.

B. TRANSFER APPLICANTS OTHER THAN GRADUATES
FROM A FLORIDA PUBLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE
This section applies to students seeking to transfer from a
Florida public junior college without an Associate of Arts de-
gree in a university parallel program and to all undergraduate
transfer applicants from other colleges or universities.

I. Requirements for Admission to the Lower Division
1. Eligible for admission as a beginning Freshman: An appli-
cant must have been eligible for admission to the University
of Florida as a beginning Freshman in order to be considered
for admission to the Lower Division as a transfer student. (See
section, ADMISSION AS A FRESHMAN.)
2. Good standing: An applicant must be in good standing
and eligible to return to any institution previously attended. A
student who for any reason will not be allowed to return to an
institution previously attended cannot be considered for ad-
mission to the University of Florida.
3. Satisfactory record: An applicant must have an average of
C or higher (as computed by the University of Florida) on all
work attempted at each institution previously attended. No
application can be considered until complete official tran-
scripts of all the applicant's undergraduate work are in the
possession of the Admissions Office. An official transcript
must be furnished from each institution attended regardless
of length of attendance or credit earned. Official supplemen-
tary transcripts are required, as soon as they are available, for
any work completed after making application. Since an aver-
age of C or higher is required for graduation from the Univer-
sity of Florida, one who has failed to maintain this average at
another institution is not eligible for admission. Regardless of
the average earned, courses completed at other institutions
.must reasonably parallel the curriculum at the University of
Florida.
4. Satisfactory test scores: An applicant who will present less
than 60 semester hours (or 90 quarter hours) of acceptable
college courses (including not more than 4 semester hours in
Military Science and/or basic required Physical Education) as
credit for advanced standing must present satisfactory scores
on an acceptable general ability test. Any of the following
tests may satisfy this requirement: the Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board or the
American College Testing Program (ACT). The minimum ac-
ceptable score on these tests will vary with the amount and
quality of academic study the applicant will have completed
prior to transfer.
5. Satisfactory conduct record: An applicant must present a
satisfactory conduct record. Regardless of other qualifica-
tions, an applicant who has experienced serious or continu-
ing difficulty with school or other authorities because of
improper conduct may find his or her application disap-
proved.


II. Requirements for Admission to an Upper Division
College
With the exception of items 1 and 4, an applicant for admis-
sion to an Upper Division College must satisfy the require-
ments listed above for admission to the Lower Division. By law,
all applicants seeking admission to a program in teacher educa-
tion must submit scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or
the American College Test (ACT). These scores should be for-
warded to the Admissions Office as soon as possible after an
application for admission has been submitted. Some colleges
with enrollment quotas may require applicants to submit test
scores as a part of their selection process. When test scores are
required by an Upper Division College, the applicant will be
advised directly by that college. In addition, the following re-
quirements must also be satisfied.
1. Advanced standing credit: An applicant must present a
minimum of 60 semester hours (or 90 quarter hours) of ac-
ceptable college courses, not more than four semester hours
of which are in Military Science and/or basic required Physi-
cal Education as credit for advanced standing.
2. Specific course requirements: An applicant must present
the courses listed as required for admission by.the Upper Di-
vision College of his or her choice, or acceptable substitutes,
as part of the courses offered for advanced standing credit.
(See appropriate college section of this catalog.) Upon rec-
ommendation by the Upper Division College, an applicant
lacking some of the specific course requirements may be per-
mitted to enroll in that college and complete them if all other
requirements for admission are met; however, such Lower Di-
vision courses will not reduce the number of credits required
in the Upper Division for a degree.
3. College Level Academic Skills Test: By law, all'applicants
admitted in a degree-seeking status to an Upper Division Col-
lege at an institution in the State University System of Florida
must have satisfactorily completed the College Level Aca-
demic Skills Test (CLAST).

C. TRANSFER CREDIT POLICY
If an applicant is accepted for undergraduate transfer admis-
sion, courses completed at other regionally accredited institu-
tions of higher education with grades of D or higher which
reasonably parallel the curriculum at the University of Florida
will be accepted for transfer credit. The determination of how
transfercredit may be used to satisfy the specific course require-
ments for a degree is the prerogative of the College within the
University that administers the work for the degree sought.
Substantially equivalent courses applicable to the student's
degree program at the University of Florida completed at non-
regionally accredited institutions of higher education may be
accepted for transfer credit on an individual basis subject to
validation by the student's subsequent performance at the Uni-
versity of Florida.
Credit hours for work completed at a community or junior
college after the student has earned a total of 64 semester hours
(or 96 quarter hours) of acceptable transfer credit at all institu-
tions attended will not be accepted for transfer credit at the
University of Florida. The courses represented by such credit
hours will be recorded on the student's University of Florida
record and may be used to satisfy experience requirements but
such courses will not reduce the number of credit hours to be
completed in the Upper Division at the University of Florida in
order to earn a degree.

ADMISSION AS A
POSTBACCALAUREATE STUDENT
When to Apply: Applications may be submitted up to one
year in advance and applicants are urged to apply as early as
possible. Applications MUST BE SUBMITTED by the deadline
established for the term. Some departments have found it nec-
essary to establish deadliDes for the receipt of applications and
their supporting records that are earlier than the deadlines es-
tablished for the University and published in the catalog. All
applicants are advised to refer to the DEADLINES FOR APPLY-







ADMISSIONS


ING section of the University Calendar published in this cata-
log and to check with the appropriate department regarding
departmental deadlines.
Postbaccalaureate students may wish to enroll in courses for
any of the following reasons:
1. To validate undergraduate records from nonaccredited or
unevaluated institutions;
2. To expand their academic background;
3. To earn a second bachelor's degree; or
4. To complete prerequisite courses for admission to gradu-
ate study at some future date.
Application for admission as a postbaccalaureate student
must be made to the Admissions Section, Office of the Regis-
trar, on forms supplied by that office. Applications are referred
to the appropriate department for approval or disapproval. No
application will be considered unless complete official tran-
script(s) of all the applicant's prior collegiate work are in the
possession of the Admissions Office, and no transcript will be
considered official unless it is received directly from the Regis-
trar of the institution at which the work was performed. Official
supplementary transcripts) are required, as soon as they are
available, for any work completed after the application was
filed.
Students who desire postbaccalaureate status in the College
of Education to obtain teacher certification must provide the
college with a clear statement of certification goals as a part of
the requirements for admission. Interested students should
contact the College of Education for further information.
A student whose native tongue is not English applying for
admission as a postbaccalaureate student must submit accept-
able scores on Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A
minimum TOEFL score of 550 is required for admission to all
colleges.

ADMISSION TO
THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
Application for Admission. Admission forms and informa-
tion concerning admission procedures may be obtained from
the Admissions Section, Office of the Registrar, 135 Tigert Hall.
Prospective students are urged to apply for admission as early
as possible. For some departments, deadlines for receipt of ad-
mission applications may be earlier than those stated in the cur-
rent University Calendar; prospective students should check
with the appropriate department. Applications which meet
minimum standards are referred to the graduate selection com-
mittees of the various colleges and departments for approval or
disapproval.
To be admitted to graduate study in a given department, the
prospective student must satisfy the requirements of the college
and department as well as those of the Graduate School. In
some departments, available resources limit the number of stu-
dents that can be admitted.
General Requirements. The Graduate School, University
of Florida, requires both a minimum grade average of B for all
upper-division undergraduate work and a minimum Verbal-
Quantitative total score of 1000 on the Aptitude Test of the
Graduate Record Examination. For some colleges and depart-
ments, and in more advanced levels of graduate study, an un-
dergraduate average or Graduate Record Examination score
above those stated for the Graduate School may be required.
These criteria are on file in the Office of the Graduate School.
Some colleges and departments require a reading knowledge
of at least one foreign language. Exceptions to the above re-
quirements are made only when these and other criteria includ-
ing letters of recommendation are reviewed and recommended
by the department and approved by the college and the Dean
for Graduate Studies and Research.
Unqualified admission to the Graduate School is dependent
upon the presentation of a baccalaureate degree from an ac-
credited college or university. No application will be consid-
ered unless the complete official transcript of all the applicant's
undergraduate and graduate work is in the possession of the
Registrar, and no transcript will be accepted as official unless it


is received directly from the Registrar of the institution in which
the work was done. Official supplementary transcripts are re-
quired as soon as they are available for any work completed
after application for admission has been made. In general, no
student who is a graduate of a nonaccredited institution will be
considered for graduate study in any college or department of
the University.
The Board of Regents has also ruled that in admitting students
for a given academic year, up to ten percent may be admitted as
exceptions. Students admitted as exceptions under the ten per-
cent waiver rule must present both an upper-division grade
point average and Graduate Record Examination Aptitude Test
Score with their application and meet other criteria required by
the University, including excellent letters of recommendation
from colleagues, satisfactory performance in a specified num-
ber of graduate courses taken as postbaccalaureate students, or
practical experience in the discipline for a specified period of
time.
The University encourages applications from qualified appli-
cants of both sexes from all cultural, racial, religious, and ethnic
groups. The University does not discriminate on the basis of
handicap or age in admission or access to its programs and ac-
tivities.

ADMISSION EXAMINATIONS
Graduate Record Examination. In addition to the Aptitude
Test of the Graduate Record Examination which is required of
all applicants, some departments encourage the applicant to
submit scores on one or more advanced subject tests of the
Graduate Record Examination. The scores on all tests taken will
be considered in regard to admission.
Graduate Study in Business Administration. Students ap-
plying for admission to the Graduate School for study in the
College of Business Administration may substitute satisfactory
scores on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)
for the Graduate Record Examination. Students applying for ad-
mission to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) pro-
gram must submit satisfactory scores on the GMAT. Applicants
are requested to contact the Educational Testing Service,

1. Foreign students whose native tongue is English or who
have studiedat a United States college or university for one year
or more need not submit TOEFL scores but must submit satisfac-
tory scores on the Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record Exami-
nation before their applications for admission can be
considered.
2. Students educated in foreign countries where the GRE is
not available who apply for admission while residing outside
the United States may be granted, at the discretion of the de-
partment, a one semester postponement of the GRE but not the
TOEFL. Permission to register for subsequent semesters will de-
pend upon the submission of scores on the Graduate Record
Examination.
3. All foreign students applying for admission to the Master
of Business Administration program must submit satisfactory
scores from the Graduate Management Admission Test before
their application for admission will be considered.
Foreign students, whose scores on the TOEFL and verbal por-
tion of the GRE are not indicative pf adequate writing skills, are
required to write a short essay for examination. If the skills dem-
onstrated in the essay are not acceptable for pursuing graduate
work the examination will be used as a diagnostic tool for
placement in appropriate courses which will not count toward
a graduate degree.





General

ADMISSIONS


Graduate students whose native language is not English may
be asked to submit satisfactory scores on the Test of Spoken
English (TSE) to be eligible for teaching assistantships.
Applicants are requested to write the Educational Testing Ser-
vice, Princeton, New Jersey, for registration forms and other
information concerning TOEFL, TSE, GMAT, and GRE.

CONDITIONAL ADMISSION
Students who are not eligible for direct admission may be
granted conditional admission to the Graduate School. Stu-
dents may be granted conditional admission to defer final ad-
mission decisions until requisite examination scores or final
grade records are available. Students may also be granted con-
ditional admission to ascertain their ability to pursue graduate
work at the University of Florida if previous grade records or
Graduate Record Examination scores are on the borderline of
acceptability or when specific prerequisite courses are re-
quired.
Students granted conditional admission should be notified
by the department of the conditions under which they are ad-
mitted. When these conditions have been satisfied, the depart-
ment must notify the student in writing, sending a copy to the
Graduate School. Eligible coursework taken while a student is
in conditional status is applicable toward a graduate degree.
Students failing to meet any condition of admission will be
barred from further registration.

ADMISSION TO
THE COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY
When to Apply: The Application Request Card for the Ameri-
can Association of Dental Schools Application Service (AAD-
SAS) may be obtained after May 15 from the Office of
Admissions, College of Dentistry. The request card should be
sent directly to the AADSAS, P.O. Box 1003, Iowa Cit, Iowa
52240. Upon receiving the application materials from the
AADSAS, the completed forms and supporting documents
must be returned directly to the AADSAS no later than October
15 of the year prior to anticipated enrollment in dental school.
Failure to meet this deadline will prevent the Dental Admis-
sions Committee from evaluating your record.
The data compiled by the AADSAS will be carefully evalu-
ated by the Dental Admissions Committee and promising appli-
cants will be sent formal application forms which request
additional information. The submission of a preprofessional
committee evaluation or letters of recommendation from peo-
ple in academics will not be necessary until the formal applica-
tion forms are filed. The formal application forms and
supporting materials should be submitted as early as possible,
but no later than November 15 of each application year.
The College of Dentistry aspires to attract students of the
highest caliber into its various programs. High standards of
scholastic achievement, moral character, and motivation are
expected of the applicant. The student of Dentistry must pos-
sess a high basic aptitude supplemented by an academic prepa-
ration of the highest order because of the vast area of science
which must be mastered by the dentist. The highly personal
relationship between patient and dentist places the latter in a
position of trust, which demands maturity, integrity, intellectual
honesty, and a sense of responsibility. A broad representation of
the ethnic mixture of the State is sought in the student body
through an active recruitment program. The College strictly ad-
heres to the principle of ethnic, racial, religious, and social
equality among its student body and faculty.
Generally, students applying for admission should plan to
complete the requirements for a Bachelor's degree. However,
qualified students may be accepted without fulfilling the de-
gree requirements, provided'they show evidence of sufficient
preparation for the study of Dentistry. Applicants with an over-
all B average as a minimum will receive strongest consideration
for admission to the College of Dentistry.
Every applicant must take the Dental Admission Test, prefera-
bly in the Spring preceding the submission of his/her initial ap-


plication or, at the latest, the Fall testing period. The test is given
twice a year at many college and university testing centers. Fol-
lowing a review of all application materials and Dental Admis-
sion Test scores by the Dental Admissions Committee,
interviews with members of this Committee will be arranged
for competitive applicants.
(See also more detailed description in the College of Dentis-
try bulletin.)

ADMISSION TO
THE COLLEGE OF LAW
When to Apply: Applications can be accepted as indicated in
the College of Law catalog.
Beginning Students: All applicants for admission to the Col-
lege of Law must have received a baccalaureate degree from a
regionally accredited college or university and achieved a satis-
factory score on the Law School Admission Test.
The minimum acceptable score on the Law School Admis-
sion Test required for admission varies with the total grade
point average achieved by the applicant on all college work
attempted by the applicant prior to receipt of the first Bachelor's
degree. The lower the grade point average, the higher the Law
School Admission Test Score must be to qualify for admission.
All applicants (including present and former University of Flor-
ida students) must register with the Law School Data Assembly
Service (LSDAS) in lieu of requesting transcripts from each insti-
tution of higher education attended. For more detailed informa-

to the College of Law with advanced standing see the College of
Law catalog.

ADMISSION TO
THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
When to Apply: Because the number of places in the first year
class of the College of Medicine is limited, it is important that a
candidate make application as early as possible during the
Summer or Fall of the year preceding his/her intended date of
entry.
Personal qualities of high order-character, responsibility,
and maturity-are the primary requirements for admission. The
student must have demonstrated superior intellectual achieve-
ment. A Bachelor's degree is strongly recommended. The qual-
ity of the academic background as well as the performance of
the student in relation to the load attempted will be weighed. A
genuine interest in human welfare is important. Efficient meth-
ods of study and effective powers of reasoning are essential.
The College admits both men and women. A limited number
of out-of-state students, in proportion to the number in the Uni-
versity as a whole, may be admitted. Students who have failed
academically or are ineligible to continue in another medical
school will not be admitted.
Applications from students who are presently enrolled in an-
other medical school will be considered provided (1) the stu-
dent is eligible to continue in his/her present medicalschool,
(2) the school he/she is now attending is a member of the Asso-
ciation of American Medical Colleges, and (3) space is avail-
able.
Prospective applicants must take the Medical College Admis-
sions Test, preferably by the Spring preceding the submission of
the application. A personal interview will be required for final
acceptance.
Graduate students who are candidates for the Ph.D. degree in
medical sciences should apply through the Graduate School.

Student Services, College of Veterinary Medicine. The applica-
tion package (residency status, application forms, fees, letters
of recommendation, GRE scores, etc.) must be received by the
Admissions Office by 4:30 P.M., December 15, for the appli-
cant to be considered for admission.
Candidates seeking admission to programs leading to the
Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degree with empha-
sis on animal disease problems should apply through the Grad-
uate School.
(See also the College of Veterinary Medicine in the Colleges
section of this catalog.)

ADMISSION AS
A SPECIAL STUDENT
When to Apply: Each applicant for admission as a special
student must be reviewed by the University Admissions Com-
mittee. Applications cannot be considered if they are received
after the dates specified in the University Calendar; and it
would be desirable for a person considering application as a
special student to initiate such an application at least three
months in advance of the term he/she wishes to enter, in order
to allow time for additional evidence to be presented if it
should be requested by the Admissions Committee.
Special students may be admitted to the various schools and
colleges of the Upper Division only by approval of the Univer-
sity Admissions Committee. Each case will be considered on an
individual basis. Applications for admission as a special stu-
dent must include: (1) records of previous educational experi-
ence (high school or college transcripts); (2) a statement as to
the type of studies to be pursued; (3) a brief statement of the
reasons for selecting a special program in place of a regular one;
(4) satisfactory evidence of ability to pursue these studies; (5)
satisfactory scores on such ability or achievement tests as may ,
be prescribed in individual cases by the University Admissions
Committee.

ADMISSION AS
A TRANSIENT STUDENT
Subject to availability of faculty, space, and facilities, a regu-
lar undergraduate student in good standing at another accred-
ited collegiate institution may be permitted to enroll at the
University of Florida as a transient student in order to complete
work to transfer back to the parent institution. No evaluation
will be made of work previously completed, and it is the stu-
dent's responsibility to secure such approval as the parent insti-
tution may require.
Transient students are registered as NONDEGREE students
and no application for admission is required. The appropriate
forms for enrolling as a NONDEGREE student should be re-
quested from the Admissions Section, Office of the Registrar.
Since registration is subject to the availability of space, ap-
proval to enroll as a nondegree student cannot be given prior to
the first day of classes in the term for which the student wishes
to enroll.
Credit earned in a NONDEGREE status is not automatically
applicable to a University of Florida degree should the student
later be admitted in a regular status. Admission as a NON-
DEGREE student in no way implies future admission as a regu-
lar student to the University of Florida.


ADMISSION INFORMATION FOR
VETERANS ADMINISTRATION

APPLICATION FEE
Each application for admission must be accompanied by a
nonrefundable application fee of $15 (U.S. currency). An appli-
cation will not be processed without the application fee. If you
find it difficult to submit the application fee because of cur-
rency restrictions in your country, we suggest that you request a
friend or relative in the United States to submit the fee in your
behalf.

ACADEMIC RECORDS
Consideration of an application for admission cannot be
given until ALL required credentials as indicated in the section
APPLYING FOR ADMISSION are received by the Admissions
Office. All documents must be accompanied by certified En-
glish translations and become the property of the University.
Credentials of applicants who do not enroll will be destroyed
and cannot be returned or forwarded elsewhere.
IMPORTANT: Send all applications and credentials to the
Admissions Office, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida
32611, U.S.A.

NOTICE OF ADMISSION
If a student's application for admission to the University of
Florida is approved, an official notice of acceptance will be sent
by the University. Admission is for a SPECIFIC term. If the stu-
dent is unable to enroll for the term indicated in the notice of
acceptance, the Admissions Office should be informed imme-
diately. If the student wishes to be considered for entrance to a
different term, the Admissions Office must be advised. Under
no circumstances should an applicant make definite plans to
depart for Gainesville until officially notified by the University
that approval has been given to the application for admission. A
student who comes to the campus without first receiving an
official notice of acceptance does so entirely at his/her own
risk. The student's presence on campus will not influence the
decision on an application for admission. Because of the lim-
ited resources available in terms of faculty, staff, and physical
facilities, only those international students who submit supe-
rior academic records can be approved for admission.

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS-
FLORIDA OR NON-FLORIDA
(Section 6C-7.05, Florida Administrative Code)
(1) For the purpose of assessing registration and tuition fees,
a student shall be classified as a resident or a nonresident.
A "resident for tuition purposes" is a person who quali-
fies for the in-state tuition rate; a "nonresident for tuition
purposes" is a person who does not qualify for the in-
state tuition rate.
(a) To be classified as a "resident for tuition purposes," a
person, or, if a dependent child, the child's parent or par-
ents, shall have established legal residence in Florida and
shall have maintained legal residence in Florida for at
least twelve (12) months immediately prior to his or her
qualification. A dependent child is a person who may be
claimed by his or her parent as a dependent under the
Federal Income Tax Code. Every applicant for admission
to a university shall be required to make a statement as to
the length of residence in the state and, shall also estab-
lish his or her presence, or, if a dependent child,'the pres-
ence of his or her parent or parents, in the state for the
purpose of maintaining a bona fide domicile in accor-
dance with the provisions of Section 240.1201(2)(b),
Florida Statutes.
(b) With respect to a dependent child, the legal resi-
dence of such individual's parent or parents shall be
prima facie evidence of the individual's legal residence in
accordance with the provisions of Section 240.1201(4),
Florida Statutes. Prima facie evidence may be reinforced
or rebutted by evidence of residency, age, and the general
circumstances of the individual in accordance with the
provisions of Rule 6C-7.05(2).
(c) In making domiciliary determinations related to the
classification of persons as residents or nonresidents for
tuition purposes, the domicile of a married person, irre-
spective of sex, shall be determined in accordance with
the provisions of Section 240.1201(5), Florida Statutes.
(d) Any nonresident person, irrespective of sex, who
marries a legal resident of this state or marries a person
who later becomes a legal resident, may, upon Iecoming
a legal resident of this state, accede to the benefit of the
spouse's immediately precedent duration as a legal resi-
dent for purposes of satisfying the 12-month durational
requirement.
(e) No person shall lose his or her resident status for tui-
tion purposes solely by reason of serving, or, if a depen-
dent child, by reason of the parent or parents serving, in
the Armed Forces outside this state.
(f) A person who has been properly classified as a resi-
dent for tuition purposes, but who, while enrolled in an
institution of higher education in this state, loses resident
tuition status because the person, or, if a dependent child,
the parent or parents, establish domicile or legal resi-
dence elsewhere, shall continue to enjoy the in-state tui-
tion rate for a statutory grace period. This grace period
shall be measured in accordance with the provisions of
Section 240.1201(8), Florida Statutes.


(g) The legal residence of a dependent child whose par-
ents are divorced, separated, or otherwise living apart
shall be deemed to be Florida if either parent is a legal
resident of Florida, regardless of which parent is entitled
to claim, and does in fact claim, the minor as a dependent
pursuant to federal individual income tax provisions.
(h) Any person who ceases to be enrolled at or graduates
from an institution of higher education while classified as
a resident for tuition purposes and who subsequently
abandons Florida domicile shall be permitted to reenroll
at an institution of higher education in this state as a resi-
dent for tuition purposes in accordance with the provi-
sions of Section 240.1201(10), Florida Statutes. ,
(i) A member of the Armed Forces on active duty sta-
tioned in Florida, and the spouse and dependents of such
member, shall be classified as residents for tuition pur-
poses.
(j) Full-time instructional and administrative personnel
employed by state public schools, community colleges,
and institutions of higher education, and the spouses and
dependent children of such individuals, shall be classi-
fied as residents for tuition purposes.
(2) An'individual shall not be classified as a resident for tui-
tion purposes and, thus, shall not be eligible to receive
the in-state tuition rate, until the individual has provided
satisfactory evidence as to his or her legal residence and
domicile to appropriate university officials. In determin-
ing residence, the university shall require evidence such
as a voter registration, driver's license, automobile regis-
tration, location of bank account, rent receipts or any
other relevant materials as evidence that the applicant
has maintained 12 months residence immediately prior
to qualification. To determine if the student is a depen-
dent child, the university shall require evidence such as
copies of the aforementioned documents: In addition,
the university may require a notarized copy of the par-
ent's IRS return. If a nonresident wishes to qualify for resi-
dent tuition status in accordance with Section (1)(d)
above, the applicant must present evidence of the
spouse's legal residence with certified copies of the
aforementioned documents. "Resident student" classifi-
cation shall also be construed to include students to
whom an Immigration Parolee card or a'Form 1-94 (Parole
Edition) was issued at least one year prior to the first day
of classes for which resident student status is sought, or
who have had their resident alien status approved by the
United States Immigration and Naturalization Service, or
who hold an Immigration and Naturalization Form 1-151,
1-551 or a notice of an approved adjustment of status ap-
plication, or Cuban Nationals or Vietnamese Refugees or
other refugees or asylees so designated by the United
States Immigration and Naturalization Service who are
considered as Resident Aliens, provided such students
meet the residence requirements stated above and com-
ply with subsection (4) below. The burden of establishing
facts which justify classification of a student as a resident
and domiciliary entitled to "resident for tuition pur-
poses" registration rates is on the applicant for such clas-
sification.
(3) In applying this policy:
.(a) "Student" shall mean a person admitted to the institu-
tion, or a person allowed to register at the institution on a
space available basis.
(b) "Domicile" shall denote a person's true, fixed, and
permanent home, and to which whenever the person, is
absent the person has theintention of.returning.
(c) "Parent" shall mean an individual's father or mother,
or if there is a court appointed guardian or legal custo-
dian of the individual, other than the father or mother, it
shall mean the guardian or legal custodian.
(d) The term "dependent child," as used in this rule, is
*the same as a dependent as defined in the Internal Reve-
nue Code of 1954.
(4) In all applications for admission or registration at the in-
stitution on a space available basis a "resident for tuition
purposes" applicant, or, if a dependent child, the parent
of the applicant, shall make and file with such applica-
tion a written statement, under oath, that the applicant is

EXPENSES


a bona fide resident and domiciliary of the state of Flor-
ida, entitled as such to classification as a "resident for
tuition purposes" under the terms and conditions pre-
scribed for residents and domiciliaries of the State of Flor-
ida. All claims to "resident for tuition purposes"
classification must be supported by evidence as stated in
6C-7.05(1), (2) if requested by the registering authority.
(5) A "nonresident" or, if a dependent child, the individual's
parent, after maintaining a legal residence and being a
bona fide domiciliary of Florida for twelve (12) months,
immediately prior to enrollment and qualification as a
resident, rather than for the purpose of maintaining a
mere temporary residence or abode incident to enroll-
ment in an institution for higher education, may apply for
and be granted classification as a "resident for tuition pur-
poses;" provided, however, that those students who are
nonresident aliens or who are in the United States on a
nonimmigration visa will not be entitled to reclassifica-
tion. An application for reclassification as a "resident for
tuition purposes" shall comply with provisions of subsec-
tion (4) above. An applicant who has been classified as a
"nonresident for tuition-purposes" at time of original en-
rollment shall furnish evidence as stated in 6C-7.05(1) to
the satisfaction of the registering authority that the appli-
cant has maintained residency in the state for the twelve
months immediately prior to qualification required to es-
tablish residence for tuition purposes. In the absence of
such evidence, the applicant shall not be reclassified as a
"resident for tuition purposes." It is recommended that
the application for reclassification be accompanied by a
certified copy of a declaration of intent to establish legal
domicile.in the state, which intent must have been filed
with the Clerk of the Circuit Court, as provided by Section
222.17, Florida Statutes. If the request for reclassification
and the necessary documentation is not received by the
registrar prior to the last day of registration for the term in
which the student intends to be reclassified, the student
will not be reclassified for that term.
(6) Appeal from a determination denying "resident for tui-
tion purposes" status to applicant therefore may be initi-
ated after appropriate administrative remedies are
exhausted by the filing of a petition for review pursuant to
Section 12b.68 Florida Statutes.
(7) Any student granted status as a "resident for tuition pur-
poses," which status is based on a sworn statement which
is false shall, upon determination of such falsity, be sub-
ject to such disciplinary sanctions as may be imposed by
the president of the university.

with the requirements of the particular departments, courses,
and sections and/or college.
3. Payment of Fees-Registrant must pay all assessed regis-
tration and tuition fees, as well as satisfy all due/delinquent

The University Calendar appearing at the front of this catalog
sets forth the beginning and ending dates of each semester. Reg-

specified in the calendar. Students are not authorized to attend
class unless they are on the class roll or have been approved to
audit and have paid the audit fees.


FEE LIABILITY
A student is liable for all fees associated with all courses in
which he/she is registered at the end of the drop/add period.
The fee payment deadline is 2:30 p.m. of the first business day
after the end of the drop/add period.

ASSESSMENT OF FEES
Pursuant to Section 6C-7.02, Florida Administrative Code:
Fees are based on the total number of credit hours and the
course level for which the student is enrolled. Students must
assess and pay their own fees. UNIVERSITY PERSONNEL WILL
NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR PROPER ASSESSMENT -
OR MATHEMATICAL ACCURACY OF CALCULATIONS.
A SCHEDULE OF REGISTRATION AND TUITION FEES FOR
ALL PROGRAMS CAN BE OBTAINED BY CONTACTING STU-
DENT FINANCIAL SERVICES, ROOM 100 THE HUB, GAINES-
VILLE, FLORIDA 32611.

Health, Scientific Laboratory, Athletic, and Activity and
Service Fees
Health Fee-The health fee is for the purpose of maintaining
the University's Student Health Service and for the student's
privilege of utilizing said service. This fee is not part of any
health insurance a student may purchase.
The health fee is assessed on a per semester hour basis and is
included in the basic hourly rate per credit hour.
Scientific Laboratory Fee-Scientific laboratory fees are now
being assessed for certain courses where laboratory classes are
part of the curriculum. Your department can advise you of the
respective courses, or you can contact Student Financial Ser-
vices at 392-0181.
Athletic Fee-All students must pay a specified athletic fee
per credit hour each term. Half-time graduate research and
teaching assistants enrolled for eight (8) or more credit hours
during the Fall or Spring semesters and all other students en-
rolled for nine (9) or more credit hours are eligible to purchase
football tickets at the student rate.
Activity and Service Fee-All students must pay a specified
activity and service fee per credit hour.

University may waive the student health service fee, athletic
fee, and activity fee for students enrolled in a special program

than 50 miles from Gainesville, Florida, which precludes their
being on campus for an entire term, including the periods of
regular registration, dead week, and final examinations.
A request for approval of such a waiver should be originated
by the dean or department chairman in charge of the program
upon request from the student enrolled in the program. The
department must complete a "Request for Waiver of Student
Health, Athletic and Activity Fees" (Form FA-SFS-211W-3/15/
84) and return to Student Financial Services; students request-
ing the waiver of health, athletic and activity fees must also
complete the bottom portion of the form and deliver it with
their tuition payment to Student Financial Services, 200 Hub,
on or before the fee payment deadline shown in the front of this
catalog for the semesters requested. Requests submitted after
that date will not be honored nor will refunds be issued. It will
be the responsibility of the student's college to notify the stu-
dents who are eligible. Health, Athletic and Activity Fees will
only be waived as a single unit. The student may not waive
specific fees such as only the health fee.

Deadlines
Students are reminded that deadlines are strictly enforced.
The University does not have the authority to waive late fees
unless it has been determined that the University is primarily
responsible for the delinquency or that extraordinary circum-
stances warrant such waiver.

Cancellation and Reinstatement
The University shall cancel the registration of any student
who has not paid any portion of his/her fee liability by the pub-
lished deadlines.

and payment of all delinquent liabilities including the late reg-

cancelled must request a reinstatement letter at Student Finan-
cial Services, the Hub. To expedite reinstatement the student

In the event a student has not paid the entire balance of his/
her fee liability by the published deadlines, the University shall
temporarily suspend further academic progress of the student.
This will be accomplished by flagging the student's record
which will prevent the student from receiving grades, tran-
scripts or a diploma, and his/her registration will be denied for
future terms until his/her.account has been settled in full. If a
student's records have been flagged, the student must request in
person that his/her records be cleared at Customer Service,
Room 100 the Hub after his/her account is settled.

Deferral of Registration and Tuition Fees
A fee deferment allows students to pay fees after the fee pay-
ment deadline without being subject to either cancellation of
registration for nonpayment of fees prior to the established
deadline, or the late payment fee. The University may award
fee deferments upon application from students in the following
circumstances:
1. Students whose State or Federal financial assistance is de-
layed due to circumstances beyond the control of the student.
2. Veterans and other eligible students receiving benefits un-
der Chapter 32, Chapter 34, or Chapter 35 of Title 38 USC,
and whose benefits are delayed.
3. Students for whom formal arrangements have been made
with the University for payment by an acceptable third-party
donor.
Fee deferments must be established with Student Financial
Services, the Hub, prior to the fee payment deadline. Failure to
establish the deferment will subject the student to payment of
the late payment fee and/or cancellation of registration.

der bond and trust obligations (building fee, capital improve-
ments fee) for participants in sponsored institutes and

The International Student Center and the Institute of Black
Culture are also operational units of the Office for Student Ser-
vices.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES
The International Student Services Center assists interna-
tional students in adjusting to the changing lifestyle and study
habits in a new and sometimes perplexing environment. Spe-
cial services are provided related to foreign educational and
cultural backgrounds; language, legal, employment, aca-
demic, and personal matters; U.S. immigration and other gov-
ernment agency responsibilities as aliens; and currency
exchange. The focus is on helping international students
achieve their educational goals, while providing an insight into
the culture of the United States through a program of social
activities, orientation seminars, and community visits.

INSTITUTE OF BLACK CULTURE
The Institute of Black Culture is an educational t6ol for stu-
dents at the University of Florida. It is a facility for enlighten-
ment and Black awareness where Afro-Americans can focus on
their history, literature, art, culture, and lifestyle. It is also a
place where all ethnic groups can develop a better understand-
ing of Blacks and an appreciation of Black contributors to
American society. The center sponsors programs, exhibits and
related activities.

SERVICES FOR DISABLED STUDENTS
The Office for Student Services provides assistance for dis-
abled students. Services are varied dependent on individual
needs, and include but are not limited to: special campus orien-
tation, registration assistance, securing auxiliary learning aids,
and assistance in general University activities. Students with
disabilities are encouraged to contact this office to obtain any
needed assistance.

STUDENT HOUSING
The University of Florida offers resident students a unique
and exciting residence hall program. Living on campus is a prof-
itable educational experience that students will long remem-
ber. The Division of Housing provides accommodations and
programs to meet the needs of students while promoting the
overall educational goals and objectives of the University.
The University of Florida has a large resident population of
both in-state and out-of-state students, as well as students from
100 different foreign countries. Since students come from dif-
fering environmental backgrounds and social experiences,
they bring with them varying needs and expectations. Because
of this diversity in the student body, it would be a disservice to
students to take a unilateral approach in developing the resi-
dence hall program. Therefore, the Division of Housing has
developed a program based upon alternatives and choices. Stu-
dents may select from various housing accommodations and
environments that best fit their needs.

GENERAL INFORMATION
All freshmen who ard admitted to the University will receive a
Housing Application Card with their formal letter of admission
from the Admissions Office until housing facilities are full.
The University of Florida has no residency requirement for
freshmen attending the University for the first time during the
Fall Semester. Freshmen entering the University during the
Summer Term(s) must live on campus during the summer to be
eligible for Fall Semesteron-campus housing. Entering students
are free to choose either on-campus or off-campus accommo-
dations. Students who voluntarily contract for on-campus hous-
ing normally must do so for the entire academic year (August to
May) if enrolled. However, residents must be full-time students
to be eligible to reside in the residence halls. Full-time enroll-
ment for residence is defined as being enrolled in 12 credit
hours if an undergraduate and 9 credit hours if a graduate stu-
dent.





General

STUDENT AFFAIRS


All students other than beginning freshmen must initiate their
own arrangements for housing either by (1) applying to: Assign-
ments Office, Division of Housing, University of Florida,,
Gainesville, FL 32611, or (2) obtaining accommodations in pri-
vate housing. (See Off-Campus Housing later in this section.)
All correspondence concerning application for University
housing should be addressed to the Division of Housing, As-
signments Office, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida
32611. An application for residence hall space for students
other than beginning freshmen may be filed nine months prior
to the semester or summer term for which admission is being
sought. Prospective students are urged to apply as early as pos-
sible because of the demand for housing.
For all students other than beginning freshmen, application
requests are considered first-come, first-served, on a space-
available basis.
Roommate requests will be considered if the individuals
wishing to room together submit their Housing Agreements
clearly indicating their desire to room together and elect the
same visitation choice and assignment options.
Disabled students are also offered housing on a first-come,
first-served, space-available basis. Accessible housing is avail-
able for disabled students once they are offered housing. Stu-
dents with special needs should indicate these needs on their
Housing Agreement.

ROOM STYLES
There are several room styles to fit the individual student's
preference. The most prevalent is the double room, accommo-
dating two students, with central floor bath facilities. Doubles
are found in every area except Beaty Towers and range from air-
conditioned units in Hume Hall, to nonair-conditioned rooms
with bay windows in Murphee. Typically, only a few single
rooms are available.
All permanent rooms have an individual closet, storage
space, dresser, bed and mattress, study desk, and chairs.
Room rates vary depending on such features as air condition-
ing, phone service, and floor space. Refer to the rental rate
chart for specific charges available from the Housing Office.
Beaty Towers provide apartment style living on campus.
These snall two-bedroom apartments are fully contained with
their own bathroom, study, kitchen, and two separate bed-
rooms for four students. Each apartment is fully carpeted, air-
conditioned, and has a telephone jack.
The Murphee Residential Area offers many suites for two stu-
dents. Each suite is made up of two rooms-one designed as a
study and living area, the other as a bedroom with a laboratory.
The majority of rooms in this area are nonair-conditioned.
However, Sledd and Fletcher Halls, which comprise approxi-
mately one-third of the area are newly renovated, air-
conditioned facilities.

THE RESIDENCE HALL STAFF
AND STUDENT GOVERNMENT
A full complement of professional and paraprofessional staff
members is available to assist students in becoming a part of
campus life. The staff in residence act as referral agents in ac-
quainting students with the many resources of the University.
Our staff is also involved in a range of activities, from initiating
social andlntramural athletic programs-to supplementing the
various academic and developmental programs. In addition,
staff members supervise and enforce policies designed to cre-
ate an atmosphere conducive to learning and growth.
Each floor or section is supervised by an undergraduate Resi-
dent Assistant, the RA. Working in close conjunction with the
RA is a graduate Hall Director who coordinates the area activi-
ties and ensures, through the RAs, an environment for learning.
The Assistant Director of Housing for Residence Life is a profes-
sional staff member who is responsible for the overall adminis-
trative and educational functions within the residence area. The
entire housing staff is committed to servicing our students in the
most effective and responsible way possible. The student is
why the staff exists, and his/her development is our primary
goal.


INTER RESIDENCE HALL ASSOCIATION
All students in the residence halls are encouraged to partici-
pate in organizational activities which can play a significant
part in their educational, cultural, social, and recreational life.
The Inter Residence Hall Association was established to help
stimulate this participation. IRHA represents the collective in-
terests of all resident students. The organization also serves as a
channel of communication between residence area govern-
ment councils, the University community, and other outside
interests. This self-government program at both the hall and
area levels offers residents the opportunity to help establish
guidelines for group living and to assist in the planning of social
and educational activities for their fellow students.

GENERAL SERVICES
TELEPHONES. Currently, a telephone jack is conveniently lo-
cated in each student room except in Buckman Coop. Students
should provide their own phone. Each room telephone jack
provides 24-hour service on campus and within the Gainesville
area; cost of local service is included in the rental rate. AT&T
CampusNet, the university approved discount long distance
service, is available on a voluntary basis to students and can
operate from any 395-phone. Long distance operator assisted
calls can also be made by students whopossess other long dis-
tance company charge cards or wish to call collect. CampusNet
bills the students directly each month for long distance charges.
FOOD SERVICE. Gator Dining Service, a private food service
operation, maintains cafeterias and snackbars on campus and
offers meal plans. Hume Hall and Broward Hall have cafeterias.
Snackbars are located in Tolbert Hall and Graham Hall. Cafete-
rias are also located in Johnson Hall, the Reitz Student Union
and the Medical Center. It is the policy of the University to pro-
vide wdll-prepared food at the lowest possible price.
REFRIGERATOR RENTAL. The cost of refrigerators is not in-
cluded in the room rent (except Beaty Towers, apartments, and
selected suites for four). In most cases, it is best to make ar-
rangements for a refrigerator after arriving on campus when
roommates can share the cost and decide on available space in
the room. Residents may opt to rent a refrigerator by contacting
Collegiate Products, Inc. (CPI), the authorized university ven-
dor, at 371-6321. If students bring their own refrigerators, they
must make arrangements for installation and removal. No re-
fund will be granted if a student brings a refrigerator to a hall
already furnishing such units.
CUSTODIAL SERVICE. Each residence hall (except coops)
has a staff of experienced custodians assigned to do general
cleaning of public areas, bathrooms, lounges, and hallways.
Other specific tasks are done in order to maintain good house-
keeping throughout the halls. Student room cleaning is the re-
sponsibility of each student.
INTERNAL SECURITY. Residence hall security is monitored
by the residence hall staff; external building security generally
is the responsibility of the University Police Department.
Trained Housing Division Security Assistants patrol the areas
immediately adjacent to the residence halls.
VENDING. Various vending machines are conveniently lo-
cated in all residence halls for the comfort and pleasure of stu-
dents desiring such services.
LAUNDRY FACILITIES. Coin-operated washers and dryers
are provided in each residence area. Most students provide
their own irons; however, some area governments provide irons
on a checkout basis.

SPECIAL HOUSING AREAS
Recognizing the diversity of students' needs, the Division of
Housing offers several different living environments.
New students are assigned primarily to double or permanent
triple rooms when first applying to the University, but once on
campus they may qualify for specialized areas.
QUIET FLOORS. Students wishing to live on a "Quiet Floor"
should request Tolbert Area. These spaces are reserved for stu-
dents who value an environment that is more noise restrictive.
Students who request and are assigned to a quiet floor are re-







STUDENT AFFAIRS


quired to sign a separate letter agreeing to abide by specific
standards designed to assure a quiet living environment for all
floor residents.
EAST HALL. Qualifying freshmen may be invited to live in the
"Honors Hall" (East Hall) with other selected freshmen and
continuing students to participate in an accelerated academic
program. Special forms available from the Admissions Office
must be completed and returned in order to be assigned to East
Hall. Contact: Admissions Officer for Superior Student Appli-
cations, Admissions Office, University of Florida, Gainesville,
FL 32611, (904) 392-1365.
YULEE SCHOLARSHIP HALL. Yulee Scholarship Hall pro-
vides single rooms for those students who qualify with a re-
quired minimum grade point average of 3.0 and have
Sophomore or above classifications. Students who are 21 years
of age or older are eligible regardless of their class rank if they
have an established 3.0 grade point average.
COMPUTER INTEREST SECTION. Computer majors or stu-
dents with an interest in computers can request to live in the
Computer Interest section in Fletcher Hall. Each room in this
section has direct access to the various programming languages
and printing facilities of the University's central computer. Also
special programming will take place utilizing computer sci-
ence faculty. Students with their own computer must furnish
connecting cables, plugs, adapter, etc. Two university terminals
will be provided in the first floor library'for students who do not
have their own terminals or microcomputers.
BEATY TOWERS. This hall has a high percentage of upper
division and graduate students as residents. Four students share
an apartment with two bedrooms, complete kitchen, and pri-
vate bath.
SCHUCHT VILLAGE. Apartments in Schucht Village are
available to graduate students with priority being given to stu-
dents in medical, dental or veterinary school. Applications for
Schucht Village may be obtained by writing to the Division of
Housing Office, Assignments Section, University of Florida,
Gainesville, FL 32611.
DISABLED STUDENT HOUSING. Avarietyof facilities in the
Residence Halls is available for disabled students. Broward,
Jennings, and Yulee Halls each have easily accessible rooms.
The Quiet Floor Areas in Tolbert Hall for men and South Hall for
women are also accessible.
In most cases, only specially modified central bath facilities
are available. Building ramps are provided and reserved park-
ing is available. While additional remodeling is continuing, our
facilities are limited. In order that proper arrangements may be
made, early contact should be made with the Division of Hous-
ing. Please explain the nature of your disability in detail when
you write. Disabled students, as all students, must meet the
standard guidelines used in determining housing eligibility.
FAMILY HOUSING. A student may apply for on-campus stu-
dent family housing prior to admittance to the University. How-
ever he/she must be registered as a full-time student as defined
by his/her college or school during the semester in which hous-
i is ing is desired in order to qualify for a family housing apartment
assignment. In order to maintain occupancy, the student must
make normal progress toward a degree as determined by his/
her college or school as well as abide by the conditions of the
rental agreement. As applicable, proof of marriage will be re-
quired or the necessary documents to support that a minor chil-
d(ren) is in the-legal care of a student parent without a spouse.
Family housing apartments are reserved for married students
and their children (if any), and student parents without spouses
who have dependent minor children under their legal care or
who qualify under the provisions of Federal Regulations, Title
IX.
Family housing facilities consist of'one- and two-bedroom
apartments, a few townhouses, and efficiencies. Most units are
unfurnished except for 45 apartments in Corry Village. Apart-
ments are available with and without central air conditioning.
Almost all family housing villages are located on campus.
Family income limits are set by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development for Maguire Village only. There are no
income limits for Corry, Diamond, Tanglewood, or University
Village South.


To receive application materials, write or call Division of
Housing, Family Housing Office, University of Florida, Gaines-
ville, FL 32611, telephone (904) 392-2176.

OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING
The Housing Office functions as a listing and referral agency
for privately owned rental housing of all types listed with the
University for referral to students, faculty and staff.
This office maintains extensive listings of apartments,
houses, and rooming units offered for rent to students, faculty,
and staff. Each spring, the office compiles a comprehensive list
of major apartment and rooming unit developments. This list is
available to anyone who requests it in person or by mail from
the Off-Campus Housing Office.
It is recommended that the student make a personal inspec-
tion of the rental facility and have a conference with the owner
(or agent) prior to making a deposit or signing a lease agree-
ment. Persons seeking off-campus housing should plan to ar-
rive in Gainesville well in advance of the semester in which
housing is needed. For example, Fall Semester arrangements
are possible as early as April, Spring Semester after mid-
November, etc. For best results, visit during the week-not
weekends-after preliminary information on available rentals
has been obtained.
Landlord/tenant problems are handled by Student Govern-
ment's attorney, Room 302, Reitz Union, telephone (904) 392-
1623.
Inquiries about off-campus housing should be directed to the
Division of Housing, Off-Campus Housing Office, University

STUDENT FINANCIAL AFFAIRS
The Office for Student Financial Affairs (SFA) coordinates and
administers most student financial aid programs at the Univer-
sity of Florida and provides financial assistance and counseling
to University of Florida students.
SFA awards aid to students according to financial need the
difference between current educational costs and what individ-
ual students can pay toward these costs. A national needs anal-
ysis service, the College Scholarship Service in Princeton, New
Jersey, evaluates financial need for UF students from informa-
tion they and their families supply on the Financial Aid Form.

What Is Financial Aid?
Financial aid is money provided to students and their families
as either "gift aid" or "self-help" to help pay college costs. "Gift
aid," as the name implies, is free money such as scholarships
and grants. Students do not have to repay these awards. "Self-
help" programs include loans and employment and are so
named because students must repay loans and must work for
money awarded through employment programs. Awards to stu-
dents consist of scholarships, grants, loans and work, singly or
as a package.

When To Apply
Applications are available January 1 each year, and students
need to send their forms to the appropriate processor as soon as
possible after that date. Although there is no application "dead-
line," students are considered for aid according to the date their
aid file becomes complete (all required application data re-
ceived) at Student Financial Affairs. Most campus-based money
is awarded by April, so to be considered for this assistance stu-
dents should apply as early as possible after January 1. A few
programs such as the Pell Grant program, Guaranteed Student
Loans, and OPS employment are open for application through-
out the year (see Important Deadlines below).





General

STUDENT AFFAIRS


SFA cannot award financial aid to students until they have
been officially admitted to the University of Florida. However,
students should not wait to be admitted to apply for aid but
should apply as soon as possible after January 1.

How To Apply
Students must complete and submit a University of Florida
Application for Financial Aid to Student Financial Affairs and a
College Scholarship Service (CSS) Financial Aid Form to the
CSS office in Princeton, NJ. Transfer students are also responsi-
ble for a Financial Aid Transcript. When completing these
forms, students should provide accurate financial figures, taken
directly from completed 1986 income tax forms. The Office for
Student Financial Affairs is required to verify students' and par-
ents' financial information, and incorrectly completing appli-
cation forms can cause aid to be delayed or denied. Students
should keep copies of all their financial aid documents.
Financial aid applications are not sent to students automati-
cally when they apply for admission. For applications and de-
tailed procedures for applying, write to Student Financial
Affairs, 111 Anderson Hall, University of Florida, Gainesville,
FL 32611, or call (904) 392-1275. Applications also are avail-
able from most Florida community colleges and high school
guidance offices.
/
Important Deadlines
Financial aid applications should be completed and sent to
the appropriate processor as soon as possible after January 1. To
be considered for a Florida Student Assistance Grant, students
must apply early enough so that the College Scholarship Ser-
vice receives their Financial Aid Form by April 15. The deadline
for applying for a Pell Grant for the 1987-88 academic year is
May 1, 1988. Guaranteed Student Loan on-time deadlines are
set by semester. For instance, the on-time deadline for applying
for an insured loan for Fall 1987 is May 15, 1987. Individual
colleges and private organizations have their own deadlines for
applying for aid.

Graduate Aid
Graduate students at the University of Florida may be eligible
for part-time employment and loans through SFA and/or for as-
sistantships and fellowships through their colleges. To apply for
College Work Study and loans, graduate students must follow
the procedures in HOW TO APPLY, including applying as early
as possible. Off-campus jobs and the state-funded OPS job pro-
gram are not based on need and are available through the Stu-
dent Employment Office in 20 Anderson Hall. For other
graduate aid such as fellowships and assistantships, students
should apply through the Dean of the Graduate School and the
Dean's office of their colleges.

Types of Aid
SCHOLARSHIPS are awarded based on academic perfor-
mance and financial need. SFA awards a limited number of
scholarships to academically outstanding undergraduates with
documented need. Most academic achievement scholarships
are awarded through the Office of Admissions. Individual col-
leges within the University also offer scholarships to under-
graduates. For information on these, students should contact
the dean of their college. Many private donors also offer schol-
arships, selecting the recipients) directly; students should
check with civic clubs, service organizations, private corpora-
tions, and other resources in their home community. /
GRANTS are awarded to undergraduate students with finan-
cial need. The three largest grant programs available at UF are
the federally-funded Pell Grant and Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant programs and the state-funded Florida Stu-
dent Assistance Grant. Awards range from $200 to $2,000.
LOANS for UF students are long-term or short-term. Long-
term loans are low-interest (5-12 percent) with payment de-
ferred until the borrower graduates, withdraws or drops to less
than half-time status (six hours). Short-term loans are emer-
gency loans for temporary needs and must be repaid by the first
day of the last month of the semester in which the money is



borrowed. Through this program, students can borrow up to
$200 or the amount of in-state fees.
PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT through the University is offered
to about 6,000 students each year. In addition, many students
work off-campus in the Gainesville community. Students nor-
mally work 15-20 hours a week, 3 or 4 days a week, and earn at
least minimum wage. Most hiring departments help students
arrange their working hours around their academic schedule.

Student Employment Office
The SFA Student Employment Office in Anderson Hall is a
clearinghouse for part-time employment and maintains a cur-
rent listing of on- and off-campus jobs. The jobs list is updated
weekly and copies are posted on bulletin boards in Anderson
Hall, the Reitz Union, Weil Hall, Norman Hall, McCarty Hall,
and Tigert Hall. Currently, Student Employment administers
two employment programs: the federal College Work Study
Program (awarded to students as a part pf their overall financial
aid package based on financial need) and the state-funded
Other Personnel Services Program which is not based on need.

Information and Counseling
Student Financial Affairs is open for student service from
12:30-4:15, Monday through Friday. For financial aid informa-
tion, applications and counseling, students can go to the Ander-
son Hall offices or call 392-1275. A telephone counselor is
available from 8:00-4:30 daily.
Another resource for financial aid information is the NEXUS
telephone tap series. Tapes 402-A through 402-L contain cur-
rent information on financial aid programs at the University of
Florida. The telephone number for the NEXUS system is 392-
1683.

Student Life

STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND
ORGANIZATIONS
Student Government: Student Government at the University
of Florida is a cooperative organization for advancing student
interests and is based on mutual confidence among and be-
tween the student body, the faculty, and the administration.
Considerable authority has been granted the student body for
the regulation and conduct of student affairs. The criterion in
granting authority to the Student Government has been the dis-
position of UF students to accept responsibility commensurate
with the resources at its disposal to fulfill its mission; including
the allocation of approximately three million dollars per year in
student activity and service fees, substantial authority in the
regulation of co-curricular activities, and administration of the
Student Court. The University of Florida faculty and staff feel
that training in acceptance of responsibility for the conduct of
student affairs at the University is a valuable part of the educa-
tional growth and development of the individual student.
Student Government is a body politic, occupying its fran-
chise under grant from the Board of Regents and subject to its
continued approval. Student Government is patterned on the
state and national form of government but adapted to the local
needs of the Student Body. Powers are distributed into the three
branches: (1) legislative, which is embodied in the Student Sen-
ate; (2) judicial, which is embodied in the Student Honor Court
and the Traffic Court; (3) executive embodied in the President
and the Treasurer of the Student Body. Members of all three
branches are elected directly by the Student Body, of which all
UF students are members. In addition to elected offices, many
appointed positions have been established in Student Govern-
ment, including Cabinet'and sub-Cabinet, Student Court, and
the Traffic Court posts.
Student Government, recognizing its limitations as a true
"government," attempts to exercise influence on governments
at all levels through conferences, lobbying, research, and the
advancement of proposals for change.
Students may apply for various positions within the student
government structure by contacting the Student Government
offices on the third floor of the J. Wayne Reitz Union.
Student Senate: The Student Senate is composed of repre-
sentatives elected from the colleges and living areas on the
campus and, in general, acts as the Legislative Branch of Stu-
dent Government.
Religious Activities: The University of Florida welcomes the
contributions of religious traditions to the campus community.
The churches, centers, and organizations associated with the
University offer a rich variety of programs and ministries. There
are also interdenominational and non-denominational activi-
ties fostered by the Department of Religion and the Campus
Ministries Cooperative.
Social Fraternities: Thirty-three national social fraternities
have established chapters at the University. The general work of
the fraternities is supervised by the Interfraternity Council,
composed of the President of each fraternity. The national fra-
ternities at the University of Florida are Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha
Gamma Rho, Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta
Pi, Chi Phi, Delta Chi, Delta Sigma Phi, Delta Tau Delta, Delta
Upsilon, Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Kappa Sigma, Lambda

Pi Kappa Phi, Pi Lambda Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Al-
pha Mu, Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Pi, Tau
Epsilon Phi, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Theta Chi, and Zeta Beta Tau.
Nineteen women's sororities have established chapters at the
University. Fifteen have built chapter houses and four live in
other housing arrangements. These living quarters serve as the
centerof the activities of the individual sororities. Primary juris-
diction in sorority matters is vested in the Panhellenic Council.
The chapters at the University of Florida are Alpha Chi Omega,
Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Alpha Kappa


Alpha, Alpha Omicron Pi, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Delta

ACADEMIC HONESTY
The University of Florida expects students to be honest in all
of their University classwork. Therefore, students are required
to commit themselves to academic honesty by signing the fol-
lowing statement as part of the admissions process.


"1 understand that the University of Florida expects its stu-
dents to be honest in all of their academic work. I agree to ad-
here to this commitment to academic honesty, and understand
that my failure to comply with this commitment may result in
disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion from the
University."
This statement serves to remind students of the obligations
they assume as students at the University of Florida. Matters of
violations of academic honesty are adjudicated by the Student
Honor Court.

with Rule 6C1-4.16(5). The action of the University with re-
spect to any such off-campus conduct shall be made indepen-
dently of any off-campus authority.
VII. Postponement of Hearing Due to Pending or Possible
Criminal or Civil Charges: If the student charged with a viola-
tion of the Student Conduct Code, regardless of which primary
judicial body may hear the matter, wishes to have the hearing







STUDENT LIFE


postponed because there is pending or possible civil or crimi-
nal litigation which he/she feels might be prejudiced by the
findings of the hearing such postponement may be granted pro-
vided the student agrees to accept conduct probation or sus-
pension, depending upon the gravity of the offense. Such
probation or suspension will be determined and activated by
the Director of Student judicial Affairs and will remain in force.
until such time as the student requests a hearing before the ap-
propriate primary judicial body and the hearing is held. The
student shall be informed whether he/she would be placed on
probation or suspended prior to making a decision to postpone
the hearing.
VIII. Student Waiver of Right to Hearing: In the event a student
charged with a violation of the Student Conduct Code desires to
waive the right to a hearing by the appropriate official or hear-
ing body, and the student so indicates in writing, the Director of
Student judicial Affairs, provided he/she agrees to accept juris-
diction, may make a determination of fact and take appropriate
action concerning the alleged violation.
IV. Summary Hearing: In the event a student charged with a
violation of the Student Conduct Code, which in the opinion of
the Director of Student Judicial Affairs, if proven, would not
warrant a penalty in excess of two semesters probation, and the
student does not waive his or her right to a hearing before the
appropriate official or hearing body, the Director of Student Ju-
dicial Affairs may require a hearing to be held before the chair-
person of the Committee on Student Conduct or the
chairperson's designated representative rather than before the
full committee.
X. Conflict of jurisdiction: In the event that the offense is
within the jurisdiction of more than one primary judicial body,
the Director of Student Judicial Affairs shall determine which
judicial body shall hear the charge.
XI. Penalties: A student adjudicated guilty of violations of the
Student Conduct Code shall be subject to sanctions commen-
surate with the offense and any aggravating and mitigating cir-
cumstances, which may include one or more of the following
penalties, unless otherwise expressly provided:
A. Reprimand-The student is given formal written notice
and official recognition is taken of the offense commit-
ted.
B. Conduct Probation--The student is deemed not in good
standing and cannot represent the University on any ath-
letic team other than intramurals or hold an office in any
student organization registered with the University. In the
event a student on conduct probation is found in violation
of the terms of such probation or of the Student Conduct
Code which includes the Academic Honesty Guidelines
prior to the completion of the probation period, he/she
may receive expulsion or any other lesser penalty. The
duration of any probation period or any conditions or
penalty(ies) imposed for the violation shall be in propor-
tion to the seriousness of the violation.
C. Suspension-The student is required to leave the Univer-
sity for a given or indefinite period of time, the termina-
tion of:which shall depend upon specified acts of the
student's own volition related to mitigation of the offense
committed.
D. Expulsion-The student is deprived of his/her opportu-
nity to continue at the University in any status, perma-
nently.
E. Payment of Damages-The student is required to pay for
damages to University property, provided that such pay-
ment shall be limited to the actual cost of repair or re-
placement of such property.
F. Reduced or Failing Grade-The student is given a re-
duced or failing grade for the class in which the offense
occurred for violations of the Academic Honesty Guide-
lines, but only by the faculty member involved and upon
recommendation thereto.
XII. Appeals: Decisions regarding student conduct sanctions
recommended by the Student Honor Court and the Residence
Hall Conduct Board can be appealed to the Director of Student
SJudicial Affairs. Decisions regarding student conduct sanctions
recommended by the Student Conduct Committee and the


Health Center Student Conduct Standards Committee or im-
-posed by the Director of Student Judicial Affairs can be ap-
pealed to the Dean for Student Services. Appeals to the
Director of Student Judicial Affairs and the Dean for Student
Services must be made in writing within two working days after
notice of last action taken, unless otherwise agreed upon in
writing by the appellant and the person to whom the appeal is
directed. Appeal of the disciplinary adjudication including any
personal conferences between the appellant and the reviewing
authority must be completed within ten calendar days of notice
of last action taken, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by
the appellant and the person to whom the appeal is directed.
Disciplinary sanctions which may result in limits being placed
on extra-curricular activities and/or registration, do not result in
loss of those privileges until any appeal request has been com-
pleted. If no appeal is requested, the final action with respect to
the above will take effect two business days after notice of the
last action taken, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by
the student and the authority taking the last action.

d. Any combination of the above
until such time as the charge is resolved and degree require-
ments are met.
15. College Level Academic Skills Test: Effective with the 1984
Fall Term, students seeking admission to the upper division
must satisfactorily complete the College Level Academic Skills
Test (CLAST).
16. Communication-Computation Requirement: Beginning
with the 1983 Spring Term all students who enter college for the

designated courses that involve substantial writing. This re-
quirementcan be met by selecting at least 12 hours from among
those English, Humanities, and Social Sciences General Educa-
tion courses which are listed under Authorized Courses for
General Education and which are marked with an asterisk. Col-
lege Level Examination Program (CLEP) credit cannot be used
to satisfy the writing requirement. In addition, each student
must satisfactorily complete, with a grade of C or higher, 6
hours of coursework that involve numerical analyses, 3 hours of
which must be in a course that goes under the general title of
mathematics, at the level of college algebra or above. The other

courses in computer information sciences. This requirement
can be met by completing the General Education requirement
in mathematical sciences. The Communication-Computation
coursework must be satisfactorily completed prior to earning
60 hours credit.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM LOAD
Some colleges have a maximum load which is stated in the
catalog. In the absence of such a statement, the general Univer-
sity regulation applies. This regulation allows a maximum load
of 15 credits for a student who earned an average below a C the
preceding semester of attendance. The minimum load for all
undergraduate students is 12 hours. The minimum load for a
six-week summer term is 6, and for the twelve-week term 12.
Simultaneous enrollment in correspondence courses or ex-
tension work at another college or university is counted in com-
puting the maximum but not the minimum load.
At the time of registration, a student, upon the approval of his
or her dean, may register for less than the minimum or more
than the maximum load. After the late registration period
closes, no student attending under the above conditions will be
permitted to drop below the minimum load, unless the student
successfully petitions the college in which he or she is enrolled.
The minimum load for fulltime benefits from the Veterans Ad-
ministration or Social Security is 12 hours per semester for un-
dergraduate students.

DUAL ENROLLMENT
1. Definition: Dual Enrollment, as used in this regulation, re-
fers to a student taking on-campus courses simultaneously at
BOTH the University of Florida and another institution. Special
regulations 'govern High School/College Dual-Credit Enroll-
ment for academically advanced students in Florida Public
High Schools; see additional information under Time-
Shortened Degree Opportunities.


2. Dual Enrollment will be permitted ONLY under the follow-
ing conditions:
a. Approval in writing for the dual enrollment must have
been secured by the student from the appropriate official at
EACH institution. A copy of such approval must be furnished
at the time of registration to the Registrar at the University of
Florida.
b. A student will not be permitted to register at the University
of Florida for a course which is a part of the curriculum at the
student's parent institution. This requirement also applies if
courses are available at the parent institution which might be
evaluated as equivalent or acceptable substitutes for the Uni-
versity of Florida course. The converse of these statements
also applies to University of Florida. students registering for
courses at another institution.
c. Priority in assignment to classes at the University of Flor-
ida will be given to regularly enrolled students.
d. A student taking courses at the University of Florida will
be required to register and attend classes under the University
of Florida calendar.
e. The student will pay appropriate fees at the University of
Florida based on the number of credit hours for which he or
she is registered at this institution.
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that an official tran-
script of work completed under a dual registration is forwarded
to the parent institution. Certification to Social Security and Vet-
erans Administration programs is also the responsibility of the
individual student who must request each individual institution
to furnish records as might be necessary.

NONDEGREE REGISTRATION
A student not previously registered at the University of Flor-
ida may, with college approval, register for one semester only
as a nondegree student. Faculty and staff members, high
school/college dual-credit enrollees, and those with special
permission from their college may be permitted to register as
nondegree students for more than one semester. Registration
will be on a space available basis. Procedures for registering are
available from the Registrar's Office.

GRADES
Results of student's work are recorded in the Registrar's Of-
fice as follows:
1. Undergraduate Students: Passing grades are A, B+, B,
C +, C, D +, D, in order of excellence, and S Satisfactory.
Failing grades are E Failure, I Incomplete, U Unsatis-
factory, X Absent from examination, and WF Withdrew
failing.
Grades of I and X are considered as failing grades unless a
change of grade is processed through the Registrar's Office.
In special situations where it is not possible to assign regu-
lar grades at the end of the term, a deferred grade may be
assigned. The symbol for a deferred grade is a grade of H. This
grade may be assigned only in special cases, such as modular
courses, confined to infirmary, and similar circumstances. A
grade of H will not be computed in a student's grade point
average.
A symbol of W will be assigned for any course dropped
through the college after the end of the official drop/add per-
iod and prior'to the date for assigning WF grade. The W
symbol is an official notation of an action taken in a course
and will appear on the student's transcript.
The degree-granting college may require a minimum grade
of C in a particular course or courses.
2. Graduate Students: Passing grades for graduate students
are A, B +, B, C+, C and S. Grades of C + and C in courses
below 5000-level are acceptable for credit toward graduate
degrees only if the total program meets the B-average require-
ment. C+ and C grades in 5000-level courses and above
count toward a graduate degree only if an equal number of
credit hours in courses numbered 5000 or above have been
earned with grades of B + and A, respectively.








STUDENT ACADEMIC REGULATIONS


SATISFACTORY-UNSATISFACTORY GRADE OPTION
It is the University's desire to allow students to receive as
broad an education as possible. Therefore, students are encour-
aged to take courses in disciplines in which they may not have
the proper background. They may take such coursework as
electives and receive a grade of S Satisfactory or U Unsatis-
factory. These grades become a part of a student's record but do
not count in the grade point average as computed by the Uni-
versity of Florida. NOTE: Other agencies or institutions might
count the grade of U as a failing grade in their grade point aver-
age computation.
,To be eligible to enroll under the S-U option, a student must
1 be in good standing may not be on any type of probation or
warning, 2) be classified as an undergraduate student, and 3)
have approval from proper university officials.
Only one course will ordinarily be approved in any one term.
Approvals for exception to this policy must be obtained from
the dean of the college in which the student is registered.
The deadline for electing the S-U option is the last day for
dropping or adding a course as published in the calendar. In
addition, students who elect the S-U option may subsequently
request that their instructors assign a.standard grade, but the
converse is not permitted.

AVERAGES
1. Definitions: The term "average," as used in any university
regulations concerning probation or suspension, always re-
fers to the average on work attempted at the University of
Florida. Grades received at other institutions are not averaged .
with grades received at the University of Florida for the pur-
pose of meeting any University average requirement. Most
honorary societies take into consideration the quality of the
work done at other institutions in meeting any average re-
quirements they may have.
2. How computed: Averages are determined by computing
the ratio of grade points to semester hours recorded as at-
tempted. Grade points are established by equating each se-
mester hour as follows: A with 4.0, B + with 3.5, B with 3.0,
C+ with 2.5, Cwith 2.0, D+ with 1.5, Dwith 1.0, and E, WF,
I, and X with 0.0. In computing averages, a course repeated is
counted as many times as grades for it are recorded. However,
if a course is repeated after an initial grade of C or higher has
been earned, the repeat grade and hours will not be com-
puted in the University of Florida grade point average. Hours
for grades of S, U, and H are not computed in the University
of Florida grade point average.
3. Grade Point Averages: Students' grade point averages will
be based on their overall work at the University of Florida.
That is, when students are admitted to the University of Flor-
ida their grade point averages begin and their academic aver-
ages will be based upon work taken at the University of
Florida. While work transferred from other institutions to-
ward a degree program at the University of Florida will count
in total hours earned, such hours will not be a part of the
University of Florida grade point average.


PROBATION, SUSPENSION, AND
EXCLUSION FOR ACADEMIC
REASONS
The University of Florida isresponsible for providing the best
possible education in an economical and efficient manner. In
order to discharge this responsibility, the University expects
and requires reasonable academic progress from its students.
Continuation of students who have demonstrated a lack of the
necessary ability, preparation, industry, or maturity to benefit
reasonably from a program of university study is inconsistent
with the University's responsibility as a tax supported institu-
tion.
The University of Florida Senate has enacted regulations cov-
ering probation, suspension, and exclusion. These regulations
are directed toward enforcing the academic standards of the


University. The academic standards of the University require
both the maintenance of grade point averages consistent with a
reasonable chance of satisfactory completion of the University
programs and reasonable conformance to the catalog descrip-
tion of the program of study in which the student is engaged.
Any college of the University may specify additional academic
standards and students are responsible for observing the regula-
tions pertaining to such standards.

PROBATION BECAUSE OF
UNSATISFACTORY ACADEMIC
ACHIEVEMENT
The purpose of academic probation is to recognize formally
the fact that a student may not be making satisfactory progress.
The conditions of academic probation are intended to: (1)
relate to quality of achievement below standards required ulti-
mately to graduate; (2) recognize unsatisfactory work at an
early date; (3) be sufficiently significant to make clear to the
student, and the administration, the shortcomings of the stu-
dent's performance; (4) provide occasion for counseling; (5)
give students whose ultimate success is doubtful further oppor-
tunity to demonstrate adequate performance.
All Undergraduate Students:
A student with less than a 2.0 grade point average overall for
University of Florida work shall be placed on scholarship warn-
ing if he or she has a grade point deficit which is less than 10.
A student with less than a 2.0 grade point average overall for
University of Florida work shall be placed on scholarship pro-
bation if he or she has a grade point deficit of 10 or more, but
less than 20.
Any student who is eligible to return to the University after a
suspension because of academic reasons will be placed on final
scholarship probation for his or her next term.
In addition to University probation, students may be placed
on probation by the colleges in which they are registered if they
do not maintain normal academic progress in the program of
study in which they are engaged.
Figuring Your GPA and Deficit Points
Given that:
A = 4.0 points C = 2.0 points
B+ 3.5 points D+ = 1.5 points
B = 3.0 points D 1.0 points
C+ = 2.5 points E = 0 points
Multiply grade value times the credit hours to get grade points.
Add total hours, and total grade points. Divide grade points by
hours. *Satisfactory-Unsatisfactory (S-U) option courses do not
figure into hours or grade points.

23.5 divided by 11 2.14 grade point average.
Whenever you have less than a 2.00 GPA you have a grade point
deficit. Multiply your total hours carried for a grade by 2 (for
2.00 GPA) and subtract your total grade points to determine
your deficit. For instance, you have taken 100 hours for a grade.
You therefore need 200 grade points for a 2.00 GPA. If you only
have 196 grade points, you have a deficit of 4 points. Except for I
and X grades being replaced by D or D +, only grades better
than C will lower a deficit. Every credit of C + earned removes
.5 from a deficit (a C+ in a three-credit course removes 1.5
deficit points); every credit of B removes 1 deficit point, etc.





General

STUDENT ACADEMIC REGULATIONS


CONTINUATION OF PROBATION
All Undergraduate Students:
'A student's scholarship warning shall be continued as long as
he or she has a grade point deficit of less than 10. A student's
scholarship probation shall be continued as long as he or she
has a grade point deficit of 10 but less than 20. If the grade point
deficit places him or her in another probation category, the stu-
dent shall be subject to the provisions of that category.

REMOVAL OF PROBATION
All Undergraduate Students:
Scholarship probation or scholarship warning will be re-
moved when a student's grade point deficit has been reduced to
zero.
Removal of College Probation:
A student will be removed from college probation when it is
deemed by his or her college that the student is making satisfac-
tory academic progress in the program of study in which he or
she is engaged.

SUSPENSION
The purpose of suspension from the University for academic
reasons is to remove from the University community any stu-
dent who would not ultimately meet requirements for gradua-
tion if he or she continued at his or her current level of progress.
The conditions of academic suspensions are intended to (1)
select any student whose performance indicates that he or she
will not fulfill the requirements for graduation; (2) encourage a
student to leave the University as soon as a high probability of
failure is evident.
All Undergraduate Students:
A student with a grade point deficit of 20 or more in his or her
University of Florida work shall be suspended from the Univer-
sity for one semester.
A student reenrolling after a one semester suspension will be
on final scholarship probation. If the grade point deficit is 20 or
more at the end of the term the student re-enrolls, he or she will
be suspended without the possibility of reregistering except by
committee action.

EARNING CREDIT WHILE SUSPENDED
A student under any kind of suspension (academic or con-
duct) at the University of Florida may not earn credit toward a
degree at the University of Florida by taking work in residence
at another institution or through extension or correspondence
courses.
However, a student who was suspended for academic reasons
and who has not yet earned the Associate of Arts Certificate
who subsequently graduates from an accredited Florida com-
munity college may appeal to the Petitions Committee for rein-
statement. The Petitions Committee may then, upon the
recommendation of the college in which the student wishes to
enter, admit the student on academic probation to that college
or school. Credits earned by such students while under suspen-
sion from the University of Florida may be transferred in accor-
dance with other rules and regulations of the University of
Florida.

COLLEGE LEVEL ACADEMIC SKILLS
TEST AND COMMUNICATION -
COMPUTATION REQUIREMENT
The State of Florida has developed a test of college-level com-
munication and computation skills. The test is called the Col-
lege Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST).


The CLAST is designed to test the communication and com-
putation skills that are judged by state university and commu-
nity college faculty to be generally associated with successful
performance and progression through the baccalaureate level.
The test is required by Florida statutes and rules of the State
Board of Education.
The CLAST is administered toward the end of the sophomore
year to university students as well as to community college stu-
dents who are completing Associate of Arts degree programs
and to community college students who are completing Associ-
ate of Science degree programs and are seeking admission to
upper division programs in state universities in Florida. Stu-
dents who do not satisfactorily complete the test will-not be
awarded the Associate of Arts nor will they be admitted to up-
per division status in state universities in Florida. The CLAST
requirements also apply to students transferring to state univer-
sities in Florida from private colleges in Florida and from out-of-
state colleges.
The Office of Instructional Resources located at 1012
Turlington Hall, phone 392-1715, can tell you how and when
to apply to take the CLAST.
The Academic Advisement Center located at 358 Little Hall,
phone 392-1521, can provide you with a list of CLAST skills
and can tell you where the communication and computation
skills are taught in the curriculum.
In addition to the CLAST the State Board of Education re-
quires completion of coursework in English and Mathematics
prior to earning 60 credit hours. This Communication-
Computation requirement includes 12 semester hours of
coursework in which the student is required to demonstrate
writing skills and 6 hours of mathematics coursework at the
level of college algebra or higher. Three (3) hours of the mathe-
matics requirement may be fulfilled by approved courses in Sta-
tistics or Computer and Iriformation Sciences. Specific courses
to meet the Communication-Computation requirement can be
found in the listing of Authorized Courses for General Educa-
tion.

EXCLUSION
Freshman and Sophomore Students:
A student classified UF who has attempted 80 semester hours
(this includes all work attempted at each university or junior
college previously attended and all work attempted at the Uni-
versity of Florida) shall be ineligible for further registration at
the University unless he or she applies for a change of classifica-
tion and is formally admitted to a degree program. In addition, a
student who does not take CLAST or fulfill the Communication-
Computation Requirement by the completion of 60 semester
hours is not eligible to be admitted to the upper division.
All Undergraduate Students:
A student may be excluded from a program of study by the
College responsible for the program if the student fai Is to main-
tain normal academic progress. Such exclusion does not pro-
hibit the student from enrolling in other programs or colleges if
he or she meets the requirements.
Graduate Students:
A graduate student may be denied further registration in the
University or in his or her graduate major when the student's
progress toward completion of his or her planned graduate pro-
gram becomes unsatisfactory. Unsatisfactory progress has been
defined by the Graduate Council to include failure to maintain
an accumulative grade average of B in all work attempted in the
Graduate School.

DROPPING COURSES
No student will be allowed to drop a course after the deadline
date for each semester as published in the University Calendar.
Any student seeking an exception to this policy must petition
the University Petitions Committee.







STUDENT ACADEMIC REGULATIONS


WITHDRAWALS
All Undergraduate Students:
It is the responsibility of each student to make every effort to
complete the full semester at the University. If any student with-
draws after the deadline date published in the University Calen-
dar, he or she shall be assigned grades of WF (withdrew failing)
in all courses and will be subject to the suspension and exclu-
sion regulations.
A student on scholarship probation who withdraws from the
University prior to the final date published in the calendar will
be continued on scholarship probation for the next semester.
A student on University Senate Committee probation must
meet the terms of probation specified by the committee.

ABSENCES OR UNSATISFACTORY
WORK
Students are responsible for satisfying the entire range of aca-
demic objectives as they are defined by the instructor in any
course. For students whose names appear on the initial class
roll, absences count from the first meeting of the class.
Any student who has not attended at least one of the first two
class meetings of a course or laboratory in which he or she is
registered and has not contacted the department which offers
the course to indicate intent to remain in the course may be
dropped by the chairman of the department which offers the
course if the chairman deems his action necessary to provide
space for other students who wish to add the course. Students
dropped from courses or laboratories through the procedure
will be notified by notice posted in the department office. Such
students may be reinstated in the course or laboratory on a
space available basis if documented evidence excusing the ab-
sences is presented to the department chairman.
NOTE: Students must not assume that they are automatically
dropped if they fail to attend the first few days of class since
these actions may not necessarily be taken in all courses and
laboratories.
TWELVE-DAY RULE: No student shall absent himself or her-
self from the University for more than 12 scholastic days per
semester in order to participate in athletic or in'extracurricular
activities. (A scholastic day is any day on which regular class-
work is scheduled.)
The 12-day rule applies to individual members of the group
rather than to the group as a whole. Consequently, a schedule
of more than 12 days for any group should be rotated so that no
student is absent from the campus for more than 12 scholastic
days.
A student who has been warned for absences or unsatisfac-
tory work in any class should not incure additional absences in
that course, even though he or she has not been absent from the
University for 12 scholastic days. It is the responsibility of the
student to see that his or her classwork and attendance are satis-
factory.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY: Students themselves remain
fully responsible for satisfying the entire range of academic ob-
jectives as they are defined by the instructor in any course.
Under University policy, students are not authorized to at-
tend class unless they are on the class roll or have been ap-
proved to audit and have paid the audit fees.

RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS: BOARD OF
REGENTS POLICY STATEMENT
Board of Regents policy regarding observance of religious
holidays follows:
1. Each student shall, upon notifying his/her instructor, be
excused from class to observe a religious holy day of his/her'
faith.
2. While the student will be held responsible for the material
covered in his/her absence, each student shall be permitted a
reasonable amount of time to make up any work missed.


3. No major test, major class event, or major University ac-
tivity will be scheduled on a major religious holiday.
4. Professors and University administration shall in no way
Penalize students who are absent from academic or social
activities because of religious observance.
In regard to this Board of Regents policy statement, the Uni-
versity of Florida urges faculty and administrators not to sched-
ule exams or major events on evenings or days that will be
observed as holy days by a significant number of students.,Stu-
dents who ask to be absent because of religious reasons will not
be required.to provide second-party certification that they are
observant.

POSTBACCALAUREATE STUDENTS
The probation, suspension, and exclusion regulations that
apply to undergraduate students also apply to postbacca-
laureate students.

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
Students will be classified by the Registrar each semester as
follows:
0. Special transient students, qualified high school students,
and other nondegree students who have been permitted to reg-
ister at the University of Florida will be classified as 0.
1. A student with less than 30 hours credit will be classified
as 1.
2. A student who has earned 30 semester hours or more, but
less than 60, will be classified as 2.
3. A student who has earned 60 semester hours or more, but
less than 90, will be classified as 3.
4. A student who has earned 90 semester hours or more will be
classified as 4.
5. A student who is a candidate for a degree in a program
which normally requires 10 semesters and has earned 120 se-
mester hours or more will be classified as 5.
6. Postbaccalaureate students: Degree-holding students who
'have been admitted to postbaccalaureate status will be classi-
fied as 6.
7. A graduate student who is seeking a Master's degree will be
classified as 7.
8. A graduate student who has earned a Master's degree, or has
earned 36 or more hours while seeking a degree beyond the
Master's degree (but has not been admitted to doctoral candi-
dacy), will be classified as 8.
9. A graduate student who has been admitted to doctoral can-
didacy will be classified as 9.

PETITIONS AND APPEALS
In case the operation of a student academic regulation ap-
pears to result in an undue hardship on an individual student,
he or she may petition for waiver of the regulation.
Petitions requesting permission to drdp/add (after the official
Drop/Add period and prior to the date for assigning a WF grade)
should be presented to the school or college in which the stu-
dent is enrolled. After that date all drop/add petitions must be
presented to the Committee on Student Petitions. Exceptions to
the minimum-maximum load regulation are presented to the
school or college for a decision. Petitions approved by the
school or college must be reported to the Registrar's Office be-
fore the action becomes official.
All other petitions should be presented to the Registrar who
will refer them to the University Senate Committee on Student
Petitions. No petition for readmission may be filed after regular
registration has started for the term.
The student seeking waiver of a regulation through petition
must remember that no committee on petitions can direct an
instructor to change a student's grade, nor can the Senate Com-
mittee require any college or school to grant a degree by waiv-
ing any of these regulations.





General

STUDENT ACADEMIC REGULATIONS


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
All actions taken under these regulations shall be reflected by
appropriate notations on the student's record.

MAINTENANCE OF STUDENT
RECORDS
The Registrar's Office maintains students' academic records.
A progress report is sent to each student at the end of the term
indicating his or her grades, cumulative hours and grade points,
probationary status, if any, and degrees awarded, if any.

CONFIDENTIALITY OF STUDENT
RECORDS
The University of Florida assures the confidentiality of stu-
dent educational records in accordance with State University
System rules, state statutes, and the Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act of 1974, known as the Buckley Amendment.














































40


Information which can be released to the public on any stu-
dent is name; class, college, and major; dates of attendance;
degrees) earned; awards received; local and permanent ad-
dress, and4elephone number.
In general, a present or former student has the right to person-
ally review his or her own educational records for information
and to determine the accuracy of these records. Parents of de-
pendent students, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service,
have these same rights. A photo 1.D. or other equivalent docu-
mentation or personal recognition by custodian of record will
be required before access is granted.

AUDITING COURSES
Auditing may be approved on a space-available basis. The
approval of the instructor and dean is required, in addition to
payment of course fees. Florida residents who are sixty years of
age or older may apply for a waiver of payment of auditor's
course fees. Procedures for auditing courses are available at the
Registrar's Office.











Time-Shortened Degree

Opportunities

The University of Florida provides numerous opportunities
by which students may accelerate their academic careers and
reduce the overall length of time spent in completing degree
requirements. These opportunities are explained below:
.1. Early Admission: The Early Admission program allows su-
perior students to be admitted to the University following
completion of the Junior year in high school. Applications are
encouraged and will be considered on an individual basis by
the Admissions Committee. For additional information, refer
to the Admissions section of the catalog.
2. Dual Enrollment: Dual Enrollment refers to a student tak-
ing on-campus courses simultaneously at both the University
of Florida and another institution. If the parent institution is a
Florida public high school, then the student may qualify for
tuition-exempt High School/College Dual Credit and may re-
ceive textbooks or other necessary course materials on a
lend-return basis. Several levels of permission are necessary
requiring Florida State Department of Education Forms.
Qualified high school students will be enrolled as nonde-
gree students and credits earned prior to high school gradua-
tion may subsequently be accepted for advanced standing
and degree-credit when the student is admitted to the Univer-
sity.
For more information, high school students may refer to:
Student Academic Regulations (especially the sections on
Dual Enrollment, Nondegree Registration, and Classification
of Students).
3. Increased Course Load: Capable students who register for
more than the normal 15 hours per semester may complete
the traditional four-year span within three years.
4. Year-Round Attendance: Students attending the Univer-
sity every semester, including Summer sessions, may ad-
vance their graduation day by as much as two semesters.
5. Credit by Examination: A student may participate in a va-
riety of credit by examination programs in order to earn credit
toward a degree awarded by the University of Florida. Credit
received from one examination program may not be dupli-
cated by another. The various credit by examination pro-
grams are explained below.
International Baccalaureate Program: The University awards
credit for International Baccalaureate higher level subjects. Six
semester hours of appropriate credit will be granted for each
higher level exam, upon our receipt of official results showing
scores of 5, 6, or 7.
Advanced Placement Program: This credit by examination
opportunity is sponsored by the College Entrance Examination
Board. Under this program, a student entering the University
offers a nationally graded examination as evidence of comple-
tion of a college level course taken in high school. If the results
of the examination meet the minimum requirements listed be-
low, the student may receive University credit for courses cov-
ering similar material.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP): The College
Level Examination Program is another type of credit by exami-
nation opportunity sponsored by the College Entrance Exami-
nation Board. By presenting appropriate scores, students may
receive as many as 30 semester hours credit toward completion
of general education requirements. Their scores on the CLEP
general examinations must meet the minimums established by
the State University System. In addition, students who plan to
apply for credit must do so before enrolling or, at the latest,
prior to the end of their first term at the University. CLEP testing
is periodically available on the campus and is administered by
the Office of Instructional Resources.
In accordance with the Articulation Agreement (agreement
between public community colleges and public state universi-
ties on the acceptance of credit by transfer), the University of
Florida awards credit for CLEP examinations based on the fol-
lowing scaled scores:

*Students should seriously consider their decision about tak-
ing the CLEP general examination in English. Experience has
shown that those who score below the 75th percentile are often
handicapped because they have not had college courses in
composition. However, those students who do decide to take
the CLEP English examination are required to take the option
that includes an essay examination so that their scores will be at
least partially based on a writing sample.
Additional credit may be awarded for satisfactory scores on
certain CLEP subject area examinations. The maximum amount
of credit that may be earned or transferred under the CLEP pro-
gram, both general and subject examinations combined, is 45
semester hours or 67.5 quarter hours. If English Subject Exami-
nations (Freshman English or English Composition) are taken, it
is imperative that the essay option be taken if credit is to be
received for English. A minimum score ensures that the essay
portion of the exam is eligible for review by UF staff evaluators.
This score in itself does not guarantee that credit will be re-
ceived for English. A favorable review must be received on the
essay portion of the exam. A minimum score of 51 is required
for College Composition and a minimum score of 51 is required
for Freshman English. The maximum credit allowed for English
credit, if the minimum score is achieved and the essay is accept-
able, equals 6 semester hours.
Department Examinations: Departments may, at their option,
permit a student to receive credit through the challenge of de-
partmental course examinations. For specific information, con-
tact the relevant department.

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR
FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES

(ADMINISTERED BY THE COLLEGE OF
LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES)

General Statement
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the gateway col-
lege for entering freshmen and other students with fewer than
64 credits, providing for their academic advisement and their
general education. It also provides advanced education leading
toward degrees in a variety of disciplinary and cross-
disciplinary fields in arts and sciences.
Entering freshmen are classified UF. They retain this classifi-
cation up to but not beyond 80 attempted credits. Students
should apply for admission to the college of their major at the
appropriate point, usually 64 credits but earlier in the case of
some colleges. All students who attained junior standing (60
semester hours) after the end of the Fall 1982 term are required
to take the College Level Academic Skills Test. Each college
specifies admission requirements in its section of the catalog.

Associate of Arts Certificates
To be eligible to receive the Associate of Arts certificate, stu-
dents must complete a General Education program. The Col-
lege'of Liberal Arts and Sciences awards the Associate of Arts
certificate for the University.
The Associate of Arts certificate will be awarded upon satis-
factory completion of:
1. 64 credits including authorized credits in General Educa-
tion as indicated for the student's major (At least 36 of the
credits, including 20 hours of General Education courses,
must have been completed at the University of Florida)
2. An overall C average
3. The College Level Academic Skills Test
4. Required Courses in Communication and Computatiorn
Skills.
Application forms for the Associate of Arts certificate are
available from the Office of the Registrar and should be re-
turned to the Office of the Registrar, 34 Tigert Hall.

College Level Academic Skills Test
Students must take the College Level Academic Skills Test
(CLAST). Starting with the 1984 Fall Semester awarding of AA
certificates and registration after earning 60 hours will be con-
tingent upon students' making passing scores on the tests.

Required Courses in Communication
and Computation Skills
Students who entered college Spring 1983 or later must com-
plete with a grade of C or higher 12 hours in designated courses
that involve substantial writing. This requirement can be met by
selecting at least 12 hours from among those English, Humani-
ties, and Social Sciences General Education courses which are
listed under Authorized Courses for General Education and
which are marked with an asterisk. The asterisks apply to
courses in a given academic year and are subject to change in
any given year. Students, therefore, should always be guided by
the Catalog and Schedule of Courses for the current year in se-
lecting General Education courses and the designated required
courses in Communication and Coriputation skills. CLEP


credit cannot be used to satisfy the writing requirement. In ad-
dition, each student must complete with a grade of C or higher
six hours of courses that involve computational skills. Three of
these hours must be in a Mathematics course with the remain-
ing three in acceptable courses in Mathematics, Statistics, Com-
puter Science, or PHI 2100. The courses acceptable for the
requirement are identical to those authorized for the General
Education Mathematical Sciences requirement.

GENERAL EDUCATION

General Statement
The purpose of General Education at the University of Florida
is to lay a foundation for lifelong enrichment of the human ex-
perience and for lifelong contribution to society. The objective
is to encourage all-around development of students as individ-
uals and as members of society so they may bring balance and
perception to every field of their activity.
In summary, the goal of General Education at the University
of Florida is to prepare students:
1. To think clearly and independently in fields outside their
fields of specialty.
2. To express ideas effectively in speech and writing.
3. To develop a basic understanding of mathematics as lan-
guage.
4. To gain an understanding of people and the complexity of
societies, both their own and others.
5. To develop aesthetic interest and sensibility.
6. To gain an understanding of the scientific method and the
societal consequences of research as exemplified by biologi-
cal'and physical sciences.

General Education Requirements
The General Education requirements include (a) Basic Cul-
tural Skills (English and Mathematics), (b) Social and Behav-
ioral Sciences, (c) Natural Sciences, and (d) the Humanities. All
students will take a minimum of 39 semester hours of credit
from lists of courses especially constructed to provide intellec-
tual balance and breadth.
In planning each semester's program students should balance
general and professional courses, science and nonscience
courses. All students should take care to make progress in ful-
filling their General Education requirements even though they
may be sampling courses in specific majors or enrolling in re-
quired preprofessional courses. Typically students complete
the greater part of their General Education in the first two years
while also taking the preprofessional courses specified for their
majors.
In selecting courses students should study course descrip-
tions in the back of the catalog, since course titles alone give
insufficient information. Freshmen and sophomores are cau-
tioned not to take courses for which they may not be prepared.
Where prerequisites are stated, they must be adhered to. Stu-
dents should consult college and departmental advisers as to
whether particular General Education courses hereafter listed
may be used to satisfy college distribution and major preprofes-
sional requirements.
The Director of the Honors Program in the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences is authorized to approve for each honors stu-
dent up to 12 hours of freshman and sophomore Honors Semi-
nars IDH 2931 and IDH 3931 to meet General Education
requirements in appropriate General Education distribution ar-
eas.

AUTHORIZED COURSES FOR
GENERAL EDUCATION
The following courses have been approved by the Council on
General Education for use in satisfying General Education re-







LOWER DIVISION REQUIREMENTS


quirements. In selecting from among the courses, students
should keep in mind that the General Education part of their
university program should serve to increase their fund of knowl-
edge outside the major and should broaden their intellectual
horizons.

MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES

tion requirement.

SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES
(Minimum Credits Required)..................... 9
The requirements in the Behavioral and Social Sciences enable
the student (1) to become acquainted with the approach of the
Social Sciences disciplines to the study of human beings and
their societies, and (2) to become acquainted with how a Social
Sciencediscipline is applied to or is useful in understanding the
social world. The curriculum offered allows flexibility to sam-
ple the offerings of more than one discipline and to choose
courses around a theme which may be of special interest to the
student. Each student must select two courses from Group I and
one course from Group II. No more than two of the three
courses chosen may be from the same department.

PLANS OF STUDY BY COLLEGE OF
MAJOR
Students are expected to follow the program of General Edu-
cation specified for their particular baccalaureate goal. In other
words, the particulars of students' General Education depend
upon their choice of major and choice of courses within the
limits set by the major. The General Education requirements for
each college or school may be found on the catalog page indi-
.'cated.

ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT
Initial registration as a freshman for each Fall class is con-
ducted during the preceding summer months. Students and
their parents have an opportunity to attend one of fifteen two-
day programs. Notices concerning this are mailed in the late
Spring to those students who have been admitted by the Univer-
sity Admissions Office. At these Summer Registration Pro-
grams, students and parents attend sessions relating to career
choice, student activities, helping services, and course selec-
tion. Each student meets with an academic adviser who assists
in selecting courses to take in the Fall.
Those Fall students who cannot attend a Summer Registration
Program confer with academic advisers as a part of the registra-
tion period held in the week prior to the beginning of classes in
the Fall. Students entering college in the Spring or Summer se-
mesters also have advisement conferences as part of the regis-
tration period prior to classes.
In the latter part of each semester students register for their
next semester. Again academic advisers are available to discuss
course selection. It is expected that students shall accept re-
sponsibility for fulfilling curricula requirements as stated in the
catalog, and students who are making successful progress are
not required to see an adviser when registering. Students who
are changing majors or who are not maintaining a "C" average
are required to talk to an adviser about course selection.
In the first few days of each semester (see deadlines in the
University Calendar printed in the front of this catalog) students
should review their course selection and add or drop courses if
needed to make a reasonable load for the semester, in view of
past grades and current goals. If during the semester students
feel they must drop a course because of illness or other emer-
gency, they will find academic advisers available for discussion
of the problem. Advisers are also available during regular busi-
ness hours to help students define any other academic prob-
lems and find corrective measures. Please come to the
Academic Advisement Center, 358 Little Hall.


HONORS PROGRAM
This is an invitational program for students who have shown
potential for superior academic performance. Invitations are
sent after admission to the University to all students who have
scored 1260 or above on the Scholastic Aptitude Tests, with not
less than 600 on the verbal portion (or 29 composite on the
American College Test, with not less than 29 on the English
portion), and who have an academic high school grade point


average of not less than 3.5 as computed by the University.
These students are eligible for special honors classes and hous-
ing in an honors dormitory. To remain in the program, students
must enroll in not fewer than two honors courses each semester
in the first two years and maintain an overall grade point aver-
age of 3.0. All honors students must take a two-semester Fresh-
man Honors Seminar and a two-semester sophomore
interdisciplinary course as one of the required honors courses
each semester. Honors requirements are not in addition to Gen-
eral Education requirements but may be used in satisfaction of
those requirements. The small sizes of the classes and the high
quality of the students make possible more thorough inquiry
into course materials and more independent work. Students
Smay enhance their critical faculties through extensive reading,
writing of research papers, and oral presentations in class. Stu-
dents who fulfill the requirements of the Honors Program with a
3.0 overall average, satisfy the General Education require-
ments, and have 64 semester hours of credit, will receive the
Associate of Arts with honors. Those with a 3.5 overall grade
point average will receive the certificate with high honors. After
the sophomore year, the Honors Program becomes the respon-
sibility of the department in which the student pursues the ma-
jor course of study. The departmental honors coordinator
should be contacted for admission into the upper-division hon-
ors program. The upper-division honors programs in the Col-
lege of Liberal Arts and Sciences lead to the baccalaureate
degree with either honors or high honors. On the basis of per-
formance in honors courses, if required, a minimum upper-
division grade point average of 3.5, and a senior thesis or
project, each department will decide whether the student will I
graduate with honors or high honors.


SPECIAL PROGRAMS

Academic Enrichment and Recruitment Services (AERS)
The AERS office works closely with minority high school and
community college students to facilitate their matriculation at
the University of Florida. Once these students are enrolled, the
office continues helping them by providing academic advise-
ment and career guidance. Academic counselors are available
to assist students in reviewing career goals, course selection,
and curricular and admission requirements.
In addition to academic advisement and recruitment ser-
vices, the AERS office serves as a central source of information
pertaining to academic enrichment services offered at the Uni-
versity of Florida. The office coordinates and directs minority
academic affairs (i.e. admissions, advisement, drop petitions,
preprofessional education) for the College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences and is an adjunct to the CLAS Academic Advisement
Center.

Special Services/PACT
The Special Services Program and the Program for Academic
Counseling and Tutoring (PACT) are designed to give education-
ally disadvantaged students who qualify for admission to the
University of Florida assistance in developing those academic
skills needed for successful academic and social progress at the
University. The supportive services offered or arranged for by
these programs include counseling, academic advisement, tu-
toring, study skills, reading and writing labs, and special
classes. Peer counselors are assigned to students to assist them
in making the smooth transition to the university environment.
While admission to the federally funded Special Services Pro-
gram is selective and only a limited number of students can
participate, the State-supported PACT serves all other incoming
students who would benefit from the academic assistance pro-
vided through these programs.
Both of these programs work in close coordination with other
supportive services in the planning and implementation of vari-
ous programs designed to increase retention and graduation
efforts at the University of Florida.

COUNSELING AND
RELATED SERVICES
In addition to assistance from academic advisers (358 Little
Hall), students may find that one or more of the following of-
fices can be of assistance in solving personal problems, career
selection problems, or problems relating to deficiencies in aca-
demic skills. The Student Affairs section of this catalog de-
scribes their specific services.
1. Reading and Writing Center (2109 TUR)
2. Speech and Hearing Center (442 ASB)
3. Student Health Service (Infirmary)


4. Career Resource Center (G-1 JWRU)
The Psychological and Vocational Counseling Center (311

dents. These include vocational counseling, career informa-
tion, assistance with academic problems, specialized testing,
marriage counseling, and personal counseling. Students and
students' spouses may apply in person for such services as they
deem necessary. No charge is made. The Counseling Center
offers consultative services to university faculty and staff who
are engaged in counseling students. Close relationships are
maintained with deans, college advisers, housing personnel,
the Student Health Service, and religious centers for the pur-
pose of expediting both counseling and consultative services.










Fisher School

of Accounting

GENERAL STATEMENT
The School of Accounting was established July 1, 1977 and
named the Fisher School of Accounting in 1985. The objective
of the Fisher School is to provide the technical and general edu-
cation necessary to enter the accounting profession and pro-
gress rapidly through levels of increasing responsibility. The
field of accounting offers outstanding opportunities in such ar-
eas as public accounting, industrial accounting, nonprofit ac-
counting, and tax accounting.
The accountant deals with complex problems in the business
world. This requires a thorough knowledge of business opera-
tions and the environment of business as well as accounting
knowledge. In addition to the demanding technical skills, an
ability to communicate clearly in both verbal and written form
is essential. Interpersonal skills and professional judgment are
important elements in the practice of accounting. Although ac-
counting is unusually demanding and requires a high achieve-
ment motivation in order to succeed, the rewards are high.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND ASSISTANTSHIPS
Information about general financial aid can be obtained from
the Director of Student Financial Aid, University of Florida,
Gainesville, Florida 32611. To be considered for scholarships
awarded to fourth and fifth year accounting students, applica-
tion forms (available at the Fisher School of Accounting offices)
should be completed early in the Spring Term.

University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611.

PROGRAM OF STUDY
The recommended curriculum to prepare for a professional
career in accounting is the five-year program leading to the
Master of Accounting degree. The five-year program allows the
student to concentrate in an accounting specialty in addition to
providing knowledge of both the basic accounting framework
and the underlying business and related disciplines. Details
concerning the five-year program including the specialization
areas of financial/auditing, managerial/cost, systems, and tax
are included in the Graduate School catalog which can be ob-
tained by writing the Director of Admissions, University of Flor-
ida, Gainesville, Florida 32611. Additional information can

ing, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611.
Students who successfully complete the first four years of the
five-year program will receive the Bachelor of Science in Ac-
counting degree. Graduates will have the requisite accounting,
business, and general education to pursue a variety of career
opportunities in accounting and business and to apply to grad-
uate and professional degree programs in accounting, busi-
ness, or law. Students wishing to specialize in professional
accounting should plan to complete the final year of the five-
year program.
Prospective students are cautioned to become familiar with
the five-year requirement to sit for the Certified Public Account-
ants Examination in the State of Florida.

business, and general education to pursue a variety of career
opportunities in accounting and business and to apply to grad-
uate and professional degree programs in accounting, busi-
ness, or law. Students wishing to specialize in professional
accounting should plan to complete the final year of the five-
year program.
Prospective students are cautioned to become familiar with
the five-year requirement to sit for the Certified Public Account-
ants Examination in the State of Florida.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
The University of Florida and the Fisher School encourage
applications from qualified students of both sexes from all cul-
tural, racial, religious, and ethnic groups. Listed below are the
specific minimum requirements for admission to the Fisher
School. It should be understood however that these are mini-
mum requirements and that admission to this School is subject
to enrollment capacity and is a selective process. The satisfac-
tion of minimum requirements does not automatically guaran-
tee admission. A student's total record including educational
objective, pattern of courses previously completed, quality of
previous academic record, and test data will all be considered
in evaluating an application for admission. Priority in admis-
sion will be given to those applicants whose total record indi-
cates the greatest likelihood of success in the program
requested.
Students Classified UF: To be eligible for admission to the
Fisher School, a student classified UF must have (a) completed
at least 60 semester hours of coursework (current coursework is
included in the 60 hours); (b) completed at least 12 semester
hours of preprofessional coursework, including MAC 3234 and
ACG 2001, or equivalent courses (current coursework is not
counted toward these requirements); (c) earned a grade of B or
better in ACG 2001 or equivalent coursess; (d) earned a grade
point average that meets minimum standards for the amount of
preprofessional work completed; and (e) taken the College
Level Academic Skills Test (see Index). Information on current
minimum standards may be obtained from the Fisher School
Office.
Transfer Students: The applicant should complete, as far as
possible, the courses required for the desired curriculum. Com-
pletion of these courses and receipt of the AA degree does not
guarantee acceptance to the Fisher. School. The eligibility


I







FISHER SCHOOL OF ACCOUNTING


standards for admission for students classified UF (see above)
apply equally to transfer students.
A. Students attending four year colleges who wish to transfer
after two years should follow a program of general education
and preprofessional courses similar to the Basic Curriculum
for the Freshman and Sophomore years for students desiring
to enter the Fisher School. Courses should not be taken dur-
ing the first two years which are offered only at the upper
division level at the University of Florida.
B. Junior College and Community College students should:
1. Complete the General Education requirements estab-
lished for the junior college.
2. Complete, insofar as possible, all of the preprofessional
courses.
3. Avoid professional coursework that is available at the
University of Florida only as 3rd and 4th year courses.
TRANSFER STUDENTS ARE ADVISED TO AVOID SUCH
COURSES AS BUSINESS LAW, PRINCIPLES OF MARKET-
ING, PRINCIPLES OF FINANCE, PRINCIPLES OF MAN-
AGEMENT, PRINCIPLES OF INSURANCE, PRINCIPLES OF
REAL ESTATE, PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT, AND AC-
COUNTING COURSES BEYOND THE INTRODUCTORY
LEVEL. A maximum of four semester credits may be al-
lowed for courses taken during the first two years which are
available only as third and fourth year professional courses
in the College of Business Administration at the University
of Florida. Any credit granted for such work will be granted
only in the form of undistributed elective credit. IN NO
CASE MAY SUCH COURSES BE IN ACCOUNTING. In the
case where a student wishes to waive an upper division
core course and substitute a community college course,
waivers may be granted on an individual basis but the stu-
dent will be required to take another course in the area
being waived. The substitute course will be specified by
the Department Chairman of the area.

GENERAL REGULATIONS
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY: The student must assume full
responsibility for registering for the proper courses and for ful-
filling all requirements for the degree. The student is also re-
sponsible for completing all courses for which he or she is
registered.
Seniors must file formal application for a degree in the Office
of the Registrar early in the semester in which they expect to
receive the degree. The official calendar shows the latest date
by which this can be done.
Seniors should make an appointment for a graduation check
with the Fisher School at the beginning of their senior year.
NORMAL LOADS: The normal course load in the Fisher
School is 15 credit hours per semester. A student may be per-
mitted to register for additional hours if in the opinion of the
academic adviser his or her academic record justifies it. Stu-
dents who wish to take a lower course load should be aware
that certain university privileges and benefits require a mini-
mum registration. It is the student's responsibility to verify the
minimum registration necessary for these benefits.
RESIDENCE: The last 30 semester hours to be applied toward
the degree must be completed in residence in the Fisher
School. At least 20 semester hours of upper-division account-
ing coursework required for the B.S.Acc. degree must be com-
pleted at the University of Florida. Once a student enters the
Fisher School, no courses may be taken by correspondence nor
may required courses (in preprofessional, accounting, and sup-
porting fields) be taken outside the University of Florida. No
exceptions o this policy are permitted. Students at the Fisher
School may take elective and general education courses at
other four-year colleges but only if (1) the student will have
more than 30 hours left to graduation upon completion of such
courses, and (2) advance approval is obtained from the Assis-
tant Director.
SATISFACTORY-UNSATISFACTORY GRADE OPTION: An un-
dergraduate student in the Fisher School may take on the S-U
basis only those courses which will be counted as free electives
in fulfilling degree requirements. Courses taken to satisfy com-


munication requirements for the five-year program may not be
taken on an S-U basis.
PROBATION AND SUSPENSION: Students who do not
make satisfactory academic progress will not be allowed to re-
main in the Accounting program. More than one grade below C
in upper division accounting coursework is considered unsatis-
factory progress.
DROP POLICY: Courses may be dropped during the drop/
add period without penalty. After the drop/add period, a course
may be dropped up to the date established as the School dead-
line. All such drops are subject to the following restrictions:
(1) No more than two drops after the University drop/add
period will be permitted in a student's upper-division aca-
demic career for any reason.
(2) After the deadline, students may petition the University's
Committee on Student Petitions to drop a course.
(3) Students dropping their full course load must contact the
Office of the Registrar as this constitutes withdrawal from the
University. Withdrawal in any term (Fall, Spring, or any Sum-
mer term) is counted as one drop for the purpose of applying
the drop policies..The School will exclude students from the
accounting program if the student withdraws from the Uni-
versity of Florida three times after admission to the Fisher
School of Accounting.
(4) Students dropping an Accounting course for which there
was a waiting list at the end of the drop/add period may be
assigned the lowest priority for enrolling in that course during
the next academic term.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS: To receive the degree
Bachelor of Science in Accounting a student must satisfactorily
complete the following:
1. 64 semester credit hours of lower division requirements.
2. An approved program in accounting.
3. Upper division core courses.
4. Elective requirements.
A minimum of 124 semester credit hours is required for grad-
uation including 60 semester hours in upper division courses.
The waiving of any required course does not reduce the hours
required for graduation. A student must maintain an overall av-
erage of 2.0 and a 2.0 average on all courses which count to-
.ward his or her upper-division degree requirements. A 2.0
average mustalsobe maintained for all upper-division account-
ing courses. Courses that have been repeated are included in
these averages but do not carry degree credit.

DEAN'S LIST AND GRADUATION
WITH HONORS OR HIGH HONORS
A student who carries 14 hours per semester with a grade
point average of 3.50 will be placed on the Dean's List for that
semester.
The grade point average required for graduation with Honors
or High Honors is based only on required upper division ac-
counting and business courses taken at the University of Flor-
ida. To graduate with High Honors the average must be at least
3.60; to graduate with Honors the average must be at least 3.20.
At least 40 semester hours of upper division credit must have
been earned at the University of Florida.

College of Agriculture

The aim of the College of Agriculture is to provide students
with the best education possible for service in agricultural busi-
ness, technology, and science.
The departments in the College are Agricultural and Exten-
sion Education, Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural Opera-
tions Management, Agronomy, Animal Science, Dairy Science,
Entomology and Nematology, Food and Resource Economics,
Food Science and Human Nutrition, Fruit Crops, Microbiology
and Cell Science, Ornamental Horticulture, Plant Pathology,
Poultry Science, Soil Science, and Vegetable Crops. Degree
programs are available through the College of Agriculture in the
Botany and Statistics departments administered by the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The School of Forest Resources
and Conservation is a specialized faculty within the College of
Agriculture.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
The University of Florida and the College of Agriculture en-
courage applications from qualified students of both sexes from
all cultural, racial, religious, and ethnic groups. Listed below
are the specific requirements for admission to this College. In
the event enrollment quotas become necessary because of lim-
ited space or teaching resources, selection of those admitted
will be on the basis of past academic performance.

Lower Division Students
Any student with a UF classification who has finalized his or
her decision to study in the College of Agriculture may apply for
admission to the College. Applications from Freshmen and
Sophomores are encouraged.

Upper Division Students
To be eligible for admission to the College of Agriculture up-
per division students must have demonstrated by selection of
preprofessional courses an intent to pursue a program in agri-
culture.
Transfer Students. To be eligible for admission to the College
of Agriculture, a transfer student must satisfy the minimum re-
quirements set forth in the ADMISSIONS section of this cata-
log. Additionally, the applicant should satisfy the following
specific requirements for consideration by the College of Agri-
culture:
(1) Complete the General Education requirements of the
University of Florida as described in the Lower Division Re-
quirements section of this catalog; or, complete an Associate of
Arts degree.
(2) Complete the preprofessional requirements of the Col-
lege of Agriculture for the major field.
The following recommendations will serve as a guide in ex-
pediting transfer to the College of Agriculture in compliance
with the above requirements:
A. Students attending four-year colleges who wish to transfer
after two years should follow a program of general education
and preprofessional courses similar to the Suggested Course
Sequence on the next page of this catalog.
B. Junior college students should consult with an adviser
and the Transfer Advisement Manual published by the Uni-
versity of Florida to develop a program of study that will sat-
isfy the above requirements. Some general guidelines to be
followed include:
1. Complete the two-year college parallel program at the
junior college.
2. Satisfy the General Education requirements established
for the junior college.
3. Complete a program of general chemistry through qual-
itative analysis and mathematics through college algebra
and trigonometry.
4. Complete basic courses in biology or botany and zool-
ogy.
5. Complete a course in general economics.
6. Complete a course in general physics.


7. Choose elective courses in fulfilling the required total
hours in the college-parallel program from the areas of
speech, English, and the basic sciences.
8. Avoid specialized professional courses. Preprofessional
courses can be taken to much better advantage after the
student has acquired the appropriate background in gen-
eral education and basic science courses.

Special Postbaccalaureate Students
A student who has received a baccalaureate degree may be
admitted under certain circumstances as a special postbacca-
laureate student (6AG). Students may enroll as 6AG in order to:
(1) Receive a second baccalaureate degree;
(2) Satisfy requirements for a second major;
(3) Take basic requirements for admission to Graduate or
Professional School; or
(4) Complete courses for information only.
Admission requirements for postbaccalaureate students are
the same as for transfer students. In addition, postbaccalaureate
students must comply with College and University rules and
regulations and meet all deadlines as printed in the catalog for
undergraduate students.

GENERAL REGULATIONS
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY: The student must assume full
responsibility for registering for the proper courses and for ful-
filling all requirements for the degree. Each semester the stu-
dent should consult with his or her departmental adviser to
plan a program of studies. The adviser will complete a Course
Approval Form (Form 1) which must be approved by the Dean's
office prior to submitting the course request form to the Regis-
trar. Seniors must file a formal application for a degree in the
Office of the Registrar early in the semester in which they ex-
pect to receive the degree. The official calendar shows the latest
date on which this can be done. Seniors should request that a
graduation check be conducted by the Dean's Office of the Col-
lege of Agriculture at the beginning of their senior year.
NORMAL LOADS: The suggested average course load in the
College of Agriculture is 15 credit hours. A student may be per-
mitted to register for additional hours if, in the opinion of the
academic adviser and the Dean, the student's academic record
justifies this. Students may register for less than 12 hours, but
should be aware that certain university privileges and benefits
require the minimum of 12 hours. It is the student's responsibil-
ity to verify the minimum course load for these benefits.
RESIDENCE: The last 30 semester hours to be applied toward
a degree must be completed in residence in the College of Agri-
culture. In special cases this requirement may be waived by the
Dean's office. Students may complete 12 semester credit hours
by extension or correspondence among the 30 semester credits
of residence work required for the baccalaureate degree but
such work must have prior approval by the major department
and the College Dean for each course taken. Credit for work by
correspondence will not be accepted by the College unless a
student has an upper division grade point average of 2.0 or
higher in all work attempted in residence.
SATISFACTORY-UNSATISFACTORY GRADE OPTION: An un-
dergraduate student in the College of Agriculture may take on
the S-U basis only those courses which will be counted as elec-
tives in fulfilling the requirements for the degree.
PROBATION AND SUSPENSION: Students who do not
make satisfactory academic progress and drop 20 honors points
below a 2.0 average will be suspended for one term and then
may return for a term but must lower their deficit below 20
points or face final suspension.
DROP POLICY: Courses may be dropped during the drop/
add period without penalty. Thereafter, courses may be
dropped only by College of Agriculture petition until a dead-
line for college petitions is reached. Drops requiring College of
Agriculture petitions are subject to the following rules:
(1) Two free drops after the University drop/add period will
be permitted for a student classified as 1AG or 2AG. Students
classified as 3AG, 4AG, 6AG, and OAG are allowed one free





Colleges

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE


drop. These drops will be processed according to the stu-
dent's classification. Records of free drops will be maintained
in the Dean's office; therefore all drops must be processed
through that office.
(2) After the College deadline, students may petition the
University Committee on Student Petitions to drop a course
provided they can document sufficient reasons to drop.
(3) Students dropping their full course load must contact the
Office of the Registrar as this constitutes withdrawal from the
University.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY: If a College of Agriculture student
withdraws from the University for a second time, that student
will be placed on College probation. A third withdrawal will
constitute violation of the probation and the student will not be
allowed to register again as a student in the College of Agricul-
ture.


AGRICULTURE: LOWER DIVISION
Students planning to enter the College of Agriculture should
take, while in lower division, the following program of study.
The sequence in which courses are to be taken will depend

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE


PRACTICAL WORK EXPERIENCE
By prior arrangement with individual Department advisers
and approval of the Dean, students may, during their Upper
Division course of study, receive credit for practical work under
competent supervision in any recognized and approved agri-
cultural or related pursuit relevant to their college program.
Credit is normally earned at the rate of one credit per month of
full-time work and may not exceed a total of three in anycombi-
nation of experiences. A formal written report must be submit-
ted before a grade (S-U) will be issued.
Departments offering this option have listed the course num-
ber 4941 in the catalog listing of courses. Guidelines are avail-
\able from the College and individual departments establishing
minimum criteria for credit eligibility and performance.

GRADUATE TRAINING IN AGRICULTURE
The College of Agriculture offers four advanced degrees:
Master of Agriculture, Master of Science, Master of Agricultural
Management and Resource Development, and Doctor of Phi-
losophy.
Students contemplating graduate study should consult with
their advisers as early as possible to ensure proper program
planning.


SPECIAL PROGRAMS

CERTIFICATE IN TROPICAL AGRICULTURE
A program for a specialization (with certificate) in Tropical
Agriculture for undergraduate and graduate students is avail-
able through the College of Agriculture. The program provides
course selection to broaden the normal degree requirements
for those interested in specializing in Tropical Agriculture. Stu-
dents enrolled in any one of the existing major programs in the
College of Agriculture may pursue this program. The program is
also available to nonagriculture students with the approval of
the college.
The Certificate in Tropical Agriculture (CTA) requires a mini-
mum of 27 hours of appropriately selected courses. Some and
possibly all of these hours will be in addition to the require-
ments for the current degree sought by the student. Up to even
hours of research credit, or its equivalent, may be applied to-
wards CTA requirements when this research and experience
has a clear relationship to agriculture in developing countries.
All candidates must showa level of competence in an appropri-
ate foreign language, though no language hours are required in
the CTA.
The 27 hours of requirements are divided into Social Studies
and Agricultural Sciences. Nine hours are needed in Social
Studies, five of which must be area specific courses. The Agri-
cultural Sciences require 18 hours, made up with 13 hours from
natural sciences and five from other agricultural sciences.
It would be desirable for candidates to have some farming
experience, preferably in the tropics. Candidates without this
experience will be encouraged to spend 3 to 4 months in insti-
tutions such as Escuela Agricola Pan Americana (Honduras),
CIAT (Colombia) or CATIE (Costa Rica). They may receive up to
seven credits for their work there.
Students will work with their adviser and interdisciplinary
faculty committee of three members to select appropriate
courses to fulfill the objectives of the program. Students'inter-
ested in this program should contact the Dean for Resident In-
struction, College of Agriculture.

CERTIFICATE IN PEST MANAGEMENT
AND PLANT PROTECTION
Students in the Pest Management and Plant Protection Spe-
cialization will receive instruction in the principles of entomol-
ogy, nematology, plant pathology, and weed science. An
understanding of the component parts of the crop-plant ecosys-
tem as related to management of all groups of pests through the
application of biological, chemical, and integrated systems
compatible with a quality environment will be provided.


Students who select the Pest Management and Plant Protec-
tion Specialization will major in one of the following programs
in the College of Agriculture: Agronomy, Entomology pnd
Nematology, Fruit Crops, Ornamental Horticulture, Plant Pa-
thology, Plant Sciences, or Vegetable Crops. Students who com-
plete the requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree with
this specialization should find many employment opportuni-
ties in agribusiness enterprises or government agencies con-
cerned with plant pest management, crop production, and
environmental protection. Moreover, the successful comple-
tion of this undergraduate program will place the student in an
excellent competitive position as a candidate for graduate stud-
ies in any one of the departments cooperating in the undergrad-
uate major program at the University of Florida or any other
university.
An interested student should contact an academic adviser in
his/her department and must indicate (register) with the chair-
man of the interdisciplinary committee on systems of Pest Man-
agement and Plant Protection. The following required courses
should be completed in addition to the major program require-
ments. The requirements of this specialization can usually be
met through the course requirements of the major program and
a wise choice of electives within the 128 credits required for the
Bachelor of Science in Agriculture.

AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING
(Agricultural Engineering)
The Agricultural Engineering curriculum is offered coopera-
tively by the College of Agriculture and the College of Engineer- -


ing. Students in'this major receive basic training in engineering
and agriculture so that they are prepared to solve the special-
ized and unique engineering problems of agricultural produc-
tion and processing systems and the management and
conservation of agricultural land and water resources. Since en-
gineering problems in agriculture relate to biological produc-
tion and processing of biological products, training in
agricultural and biological courses is obtained. Students desir-
ing careers in Agricultural Engineering will register in the Col-
lege of Engineering. See College of Engineering for curriculum.

AGRICULTURAL AND EXTENSION
EDUCATION
The Agricultural and Extension Education curriculum is de-
signed to prepare students for careers in agricultural education
and the cooperative extension service. Students majoring in
this department have a common core curriculum which com-
bines courses in technical agriculture, professional education,
and/or extension methodology. The department chairperson or
one of the departmental advisers will advise the student major-
ing in this.department in the selection of electives and require-
ments to meet the student's career goals.
The agricultural education (teaching) program provides the
student with the basic courses for teacher certification in Flor-
ida. In addition to these courses, a graduate must still apply to
the State Department of Education for certification. Each appli-
cant who applies for a full-time Florida teaching certificate shall
be required to present a passing score on each subtest of the
Florida Teacher Certification Examination as part of the require-
ments to establish eligibility for certification.
Students wishing to enroll in AEE 4942 "Agricultural and Ex-
tension Education Practicum" (teaching internship) must meet
the following criteria:
1. Advanced senior standing.
2. Completion of EDF 3135 or equivalent, speech, and 16
hours of professional education in agricultural education.
3. C average (2.0) or better.
4. C average (2.0) or better in all professional education
courses required in the area of specialization.

c. AEE 3200
(b and c may be modified with approval of departmental
chairperson)
Assignment to an internship center is an involved process and
is not taken lightly. Every consideration is given to student re-
quests. However, applicants are specifically NOT guaranteed
assignment to their home county, to the immediate or general
vicinity of the campus, or to a given center on request. Assign-
ments will be made only to those centers indicated at time of
application. Submission of an application by a candidate con-
stitutes an agreement to accept assignment in the center where
it is determined that the objectives of the internship program
can best be achieved. Failure to accept an assignment negoti-
ated by Department personnel relieves the Department of any
further responsibility to provide internship experiences and
courses for the candidate.
The student completing this program will be required to sat-
isfy the College of Agriculture core curriculum requirements.
All students will take a basic skills assessment examination
while enrolled in AEE 3323. This examination includes sec-







COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE


tions on mathematics, reading, and writing. A student must
have a successful score on all sections of the basic skills assess-
ment examination prior to admission to the teaching internship
experience.

ENTOMOLOGY AND NEMATOLOGY
Entomology and nematology are biological sciences dealing
with two principal groups of invertebrate animals. The curricu-
lum is designed to give basic training in entomology and nema-
tology and specialized programs in various areas of these two
sciences.


Within the pest management program, specialized emphasis
may be given to areas like crop protection, animal protection,
or urban entomology and pest control. In the latter, students are
trained in insects, plant disease, and weed control with special
reference to problems in and around residential and other
buildings. Emphasis is also given to business management so
that students are prepared for administrative duties as well. Stu-
dents will be prepared to take the Florida Board of Health certi-
fication examination. Specific requirements for these programs
can be obtained by contacting the Department of Entomology
and Nematology.

three curricula, Food Science, Nutrition and Dietetics and Nu-
trition Sciences. Students in these curricula take a common
core of courses, required courses for their area of concentra-
tion, and electives. Students should consult the departmental
advisers for guidance and approval of electives.


The Food Science curriculum is designed to utilize the princi-
ples of chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, engineering,
other basic sciences, and management in applications related
to the manufacturing, processing, preserving, distribution, and
packaging of food and food products for immediate or future
utilization. General areas of study include: chemical, microbi-
ological, and nutritional properties of raw and processed foods;
role of processing and engineering in modifying food proper-
ties; food deterioration and spoilage; role of additives and other
ingredients; food safety; food fermentation and new food prod-
uct innovations. An opportunity is offered for students to inten-
sify in areas of specialization such as general food processing,
citrus processing, seafood processing, food chemistry, food en-
gineering, food microbiology, management, food marketing,
nutrition, public health and consumer protection. Cooperative
programs are available with theappropriate commodity depart-
ments for students desiring to specialize in dairy, meat, poultry
or fruit, and vegetable processing. An excellent foundation for
graduate study and research in Food Science or related fields is
also provided.
The Nutrition and Dietetics curriculum is designed to give
students a foundation in nutrition and, if desired, for dietetic
internship upon graduation. The Nutrition and Dietetics curric-
ulum provides an excellent undergraduate education for stu-
dents planning to enter a graduate program in human nutrition.

College of Architecture

GENERAL STATEMENT
The College of Architecture, which was established as a
school in 1925, has grown to be one of the largest design and
construction institutions in the country.'A unique aspect of the
college is the scope of its professional disciplines which at the
undergraduate level include Architecture, Building Construc-
tion, Interior Design, and Landscape Architecture. Graduate
programs are available through the Department of Urban and
Regional Planning, the School of Building Construction, and
the Department of Architecture. The architecture graduate pro-
gram includes options in Architectural Design, Preservation,
Structures, and Environmental Technologies.
The College's teaching, research, and community service
philosophy stresses interdisciplinary work. A growing number
of required and elective courses are open, on a space available
basis, to all majors (e.g. ARC 1211, 1701, 3783, 4801; BCN
1210, 4012, 4227, 4471, 4901L, 4902L, 5528; IND 2100,
2130; LAA 1920,2710,2711,3713,4935; URP4000). In addi-
tion, the first 2 years of design coursework are common to all
three undergraduate design disciplines (architecture, land-
scape architecture, and interior design). The College's internal
research award competition requires multidisciplinary faculty
teamwork and, in turn, involves students from units throughout
the College. Other research and service projects conducted
through the research centers and institutes (described below)
often entail multidisciplinary, cross-campus student input and
effort.
The Architecture and Fine Arts Library and the Visual Re-
sources Center are the largest collections of their kind in the
Southeast. Together they provide books, government docu-
ments, American and foreign periodicals, subject files, micro-
text, slides, photographs, reproductions, and other materials
for undergraduate and graduate studies. The AFA Library also
maintains its own Rare Book Collection for scholarly research.
Services include a professional reference service ready to assist
in guidance and searches for information. Students may use
additional resources in the University Libraries system.
The Departments of Architecture and Landscape Architec-
ture and the School of Building Construction have each cele-
brated over fifty years of service to the citizens of Florida.

STUDENT AID
Students interested in part-time employment, assistantships,
fellowships, loans, prizes, and awards are referred to individual
departments and information provided by the University Office
of Student Financial Affairs.

RESEARCH CENTERS
The College contributes to community, state, regional, and
national efforts to conserve and improve the quality of the natu-
ral and built environments through research projects directed
by the Florida Architecture and Building Research Center (FAB-
RIC), the Research and Education Center for Architectural Pres-
ervation (RECAP), and the Center for Tropical and Subtropical
Architecture, Planning and Construction (TROPARC). The col-
lege has established research and training programs of national
prominence through the Preservation Institute: Nantucket and
the Preservation Institute: Caribbean. The latter program, di-
rected by RECAP and TROPARC, is part of the College of Archi-
tecture's drive to develop new links with institutions in the
Caribbean Basin and Latin America.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Student organizations take an active part in the educational
program of the College. Membership in the professional orga-
nizations of each discipline is available to the student chapters.
Student chapters of the American Institute of Architecture Stu-


dents and the American Society of Interior Designers, Institute
of Business Designers, the UF Chapter of the American Society
of Landscape Architects, the Student Planning Association, the
UF Chapterof the Student Constructors and Cost Engineers, the
Student Chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors,
and the Student Contractors and Builders Association are all
represented. Honorary societies of Tau Sigma Delta, Sigma
Lambda Alpha, Sigma Lambda Chi, and the Gargoyle Society
are also represented in addition to the Society for Black Student
Architects. The College recognizes the importance of student
involvement and encourages and assists participation with pro-
fessional groups and societies.


REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
The University of Florida and the College of Architecture en-
courage applications from qualified students of all cultural, ra-
cial, religious, and ethnic groups. Listed herein are the specific
requirements for admission to this College. It should be under-
stood that only minimum requirements are given and that ad-
mission to the College is a selective process. Having satisfied
minimum requirements does not automatically guarantee ad-
mission. Limitations in faculty, staff, and facilities make it nec-
essary that the College establish a selective process for the
admission of students. Priority in admission'shall be given to
those applicants who, in the judgement of the admissions com-
mittee, have the.greatest apparent potential for successful com-
pletion of the program.
To be eligible for consideration for admission to the College,
the student must have reached junior status, earned a minimum
C average in all courses attempted regardless of the type of
coursework completed, and taken the College Level Academic
Skills Test (CLAST; see the Index). If preprofessional courses are
a part of the total credits, a minimum C average is required in
these courses also. Students admitted to the University at less
than junior status are in the College of Liberal Arts and Sci-
ences, Lower Division, not the College of Architecture, and ad-
mission in this manner does not in itself guarantee space in the
preprofessional architecture courses nor eventual admission to
the College. Students admitted as juniors to Colleges other than
the College of Architecture have no priority for preprofessional
or professional courses and may be considered for enrollment
on a space available basis, after priority College of Architecture
students have been served.
Admission of students having junior status falls into two cate-
gories: 1) those having completed all Lower Division require-
ments and prepared to study at the third year professional
coursework levels and 2) those needing to complete freshman/
sophomore preprofessional courses. Generally, transfer stu-
dents from universities or community colleges which do not
offer approved preprofessional programs find themselves in the
latter category. These students may require up to four semesters
at the University of Florida to complete this work due to the
sequential nature of the courses.
An admissions review process is employed for all applicants
at this point. Criteria used in review may include any or all of
the following:
Quality of work completed
Achievement in preprofessional courses or courses related to
disciplines of study
Pattern of courses completed
Personal interview
Portfolio review
Work experience
Recommendations by teachers and/or employers
1. Curriculum in Architecture: Through an Admissions Com-
mittee the Department of Architecture annually selects stu-
dents to enter third year professional studies. All students
who satisfactorily complete the two-year preprofessional pro-
granrs at Miami-Dade, Broward, and St. Petersburg (Clearwa-
ter) Community Colleges are eligible for consideration for
third year admission. Applications for transfer from one of the
approved preprofessional programs or from the Lower Divi-
sion of the UF College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must be





Colleges

COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE


filed by the deadline listed in the University Calendar (see
Table of Contents). Transfer students with provisional admis-
sion status (3AR, 4AR, 5AR, or 6AR) must notify the Depart-
ment office of their wish to be considered for third year
admission by the same date.
2. Curriculum in Interior Design: Transfer students mustcon-
suit with the program adviser. Students needing to complete
Lower Division preprofessional requirements are urged to ap-
ply for the Summer term for the sequence of architectural
design, building arts, and architectural history. The remain-
ing preprofessional courses may be completed during the
next academic year. Students accepted for the sequence shall
be admitted as provisional and shall be reviewed during the
Spring of the next year for approval to enter the professional
courses in the junior year. Students are selectively admitted to
the Upper Division program on the basis of portfolio review,
overall grade point average, interview, and letter of applica-
tion. Notification of the decision of the admissions commit-
tee shall be made prior to the close of the Spring Semester for
the junior class which begins the following Fall. Contact the
department for current information.
3. Curriculum in Landscape Architecture: Transfer students
contemplating the professional degree program must contact
the Department Adviser to determine admission timing and
eligibility. Students in the predesign programs at Miami-
Dade, Broward, and St. Petersburg (Clearwater) Community
Colleges must contact the Department Adviser regarding pre-
professional courses not available at those colleges. Transfer
students from community colleges not offering an equivalent
predesign program are urged'to begin their preprofessional
course work in the Summer term in order to complete re-
quired classes in three semesters. Calculus, botany, and phys-
ical science requirements, in addition to general education
requirements, can normally be fulfilled at the community
college. Students with Associate of Science degrees must
complete all required general education and preprofessional
coursework prior to admission to professional studies.
4. Curriculum in Building Construction: See the School of
Building Construction section of this catalog.

APPLICATION DEADLINES
The programs in Architecture, Interior Design, and Land-
scape Architecture will admit students for third year profes-
sional coursework in the Fall semester only. Students needing to
Complete some or all of the Lower Division requirements shall
be reviewed for the Fall, Spring or Summer semesters. Applica-
tions for Fall, including all required credentials, must be re-
ceived by the Registrar's Office (for transfer students) or the
Dean's Office for UF students, as follows: Architecture Feb-
ruary 1; Interior Design and Landscape Architecture- May 11.
The application deadline for these Departments for Spring and
Summer is as stated in the University Calendar (see Table of
Contents). Applicants unable to meet these deadlines may ap-
ply on a space available basis.
The School of Building Construction will admit students for
third year professional coursework in the Fall and Spring semes-
ters only. Deadlines for completion of all application proce-
dures including School requirements and receipt of official
credentials is March 2 for Fall and October 1 for Spring admis-
sion. Applicants unable to meet these deadlines may apply on a
space available basis.
Building Construction applicants needing to complete some
or all of the Lower Division requirements may be admitted to
the College of Architecture on.a provisional basis not to exceed
two semesters. Those in this category must meet the require-
ments of the Dean's Office and have the recommendation of
the Director of the School. Students in this category are not
considered admitted to the School of Building Construction
and are not eligible to enroll in Upper Division BCN courses.
Deadlines for students in this category are as stated in the Uni-
versity Calendar (see Table of Contents) under "All Other Pro-
grams."


ADVISEMENT
Students planning to major in any program of study in the
College of Architecture should see the Director of Student Ser-
vices or the proper departmental chairman, program director or
adviser as soon as possible.

GENERAL REGULATIONS
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM LOADS
Fifteen to eighteen semesters hours in any regular semester
shall be considered a normal load. A student may be permitted
to register for more than eighteen hours when, in the opinion of
the adviser, the quality of the student's record justifies this.
Twelve credit hours is the minimum to be considered a full-time
student; students who wish to take less than this should be
aware that certain University privileges and benefits require
full-time status. It is the student's responsibility to verify the
minimum academic load necessary for these benefits.
Students who wish to ask for adjustments in their academic
load may petition the Dean through the Director of Student
Services and the appropriate Departmental Chairman.

NORMAL ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Students must maintain a minimum grade point average of
2.0 (C average). However, achieving this minimum does not
guarantee enrollment in the professional and preprofessional
courses. Additionally, these courses must be taken in a se-
quence as specified by the college or department advisor. This
sequence, along with all course requirements, is outlined in
this section of the catalog.
While the preprofessional and professional course sequence
must be maintained, variation from the listed positioning of
general education and elective coursework may occur. The
four-year plan shown requires an average of.more than sixteen
credits per term, which may not be appropriate for all students.
Students are urged to plan their curricula well in advance, so
that course sequence and credit-hour loads will accommodate
the most effective academic progress, regardless of the number
of terms required.

DEAN'S HONOR LIST
Undergraduate students who demonstrate excellence in their
academic work by completing a minimum of 15 semester hours
credit in a semester and achieving a grade point average of 3.5
or better will earn a position on the Dean's Honor List. Students
whose term averages are below 3.5 due to grades of I or X are
not eligible.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
To be eligible for graduation, the student must earn a mini-
mum grade point average of 2.0 (C) for all work attempted in the
appropriate curriculum while classified in the College. Courses
taken while enrolled in another Upper Division College may
not apply toward the calculation of the College or Architecture
average. Specific grade requirements for the various curricula
may be obtained from the department or Dean's Offices.
Students planning to enter the Graduate School must main-
tain a 3.0 (B) average in Upper Division work.

GRADUATION WITH HONORS AND HIGH HONORS
The faculty will consider recommending students for gradua-
tion with HONORS or HIGH HONORS on the following crite-
ria: (a) grade point/average, (b) distribution and quality of
subject matter studied, (c) evaluation of the students by the fac-
ulty, and (d) other pertinent qualities of the subject and his or
her work.
The studentwill be considered for HONORS or HIGH HON-
ORS upon earning a minimum academic average established
by the department or program. The average will be calculated
on all work attempted while the student is classified in the Up-
per Division. Transfer credits will be excluded from the aver-
age; HONORS or HIGH HONORS may be awarded upon a







COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE


minimum of 48 semester hour credits taken at the University of
Florida. Students should check with their department or pro-
gram director for minimum average required.

STUDENT WORK
The College reserves the right to retain student work for the
purpose of record, exhibition, or instruction.

PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
Students are urged to obtain before graduation some experi-
ence in the employ of practicing professionals in their particu-
lar field or in some allied work which will give an insight into
the problems of professional practice. Such employment pro-
vides an introduction to the methods of actual practice and en-
ables the student to derive increased benefit from advanced
work in school. Students should seek the counsel of their fac-
ulty adviser as to the type of practical experience best suited to
their individual needs.

FIELD TRIPS
Each year a number of field trips are arranged to give students
an opportunity to broaden and extend their educational experi-
ence through study of planning, design, and construction pro-
jects of unusual interest. Students frequently combine such
studies with attendance at state and national meetings of the
professional organizations in their respective fields. Students
should check with their departments for field trip requirements.

GRADUATE DEGREES
The College offers the degrees of Master of Architecture,
Master of Arts in Urban and Regional Planning, Master of Sci-
ence in Building Construction, and Master of Building Con-
struction. The School of Building Construction has a Ph.D.
program in conjunction with the College of Education. To meet
the needs and goals of each student, graduate programs are pre-
pared in consultation with a designated member of the Gradu-
ate Faculty of the College of Architecture. For further
information, see the Graduate School Catalog.


I. CURRICULUM IN ARCHITECTURE
Leading to the degree Bachelor of Design (Architecture).
McRae, J. M., Chairman; Shaw, L. G., Undergraduate Program
Director.
The professional program in architecture, which is accredited
by the National Architectural Accrediting Board, consists of
both the undergraduate and graduate curricula. The undergrad-
uate curriculum leads to the degree Bachelor of Design (Archi-
tecture). Although this is not a professional degree, it is
excellent preparation for careers in the architectural field
where registration is not a requirement.
Completion of the two-year graduate curriculum leads to the
professional degree Master of Architecture, which meets the
educational requirements of Florida statutes for architectural
registration.
In the graduate program, optional courses of study are in Ar-
chitectural Design, Architectural Structures, Environmental
Technologies, and Architectural Preservation. These options
permit the student to study in an area of particular interest;,
however, all options lead to the same professional degree and
each prepares the graduate for a career in professional practice.
For detailed information see the Graduate School Catalog.
The Department of Architecture has a number of summer
programs that may be pursued for academic credit:
The program, which is conducted in Vicenza, Italy, includes
three basic courses: Architectural Design, Architectural His-
tory, and a third course which includes Italian language, culture
and folklore. Many study tours are included, and participation
by noted professionals and visiting critics augments the pro-
gram. Al I Architecture students of good academic standing who
have complete third-year requirements are eligible. Applica-
tion deadline is the end of November, and applications may be
obtained from the Department office.


Preservation Institute: Nantucket (PI:N) offers courses in his-
toric preservation to advanced undergraduate and graduate stu-
dents, directing multidisciplinary projects in historical
research, documentation, building analysis and maintenance,
and planning. This Institute was established in 1972 in this con-
temporary community which is noted for its heritage of history,
architecture, and urban design. Students are selected from
schools all over the United States.
Preservation Institute: Caribbean (PI:C) focuses on the his-
tory, built environment, cultural values and traditions of the
Caribbean. The total program is divided into three eight-week
summer sessions, dealing with various aspects of architectural
historic preservation. Participants are young professionals or
advanced students from various academic disciplines from all
nations in the Greater Caribbean region. The Institute location
varies from year to year.
The program of study is included below to show a typical
sequence in which courses are taken. Some courses in the first
two years are offered in semesters in addition to those shown.

II. CURRICULUM IN INTERIOR
DESIGN
Leading to the degree of Bachelor of Design.
Nielson, J. L., Chairman.
The four-year program in Interior Design is accredited by the
Foundation for Interior Design Education Research. The course
of study has been developed for those students who plan a ca-
reer in the profession of Interior Design. The curriculum is
structured to provide a knowledge of the principles of the hu-
manities, social and physical sciences, and the manner in
which they are integrated and applied in the design process to
creatively resolve problems of the interior environment. The
interior design faculty seeks to equip the student with a knowl-
edge of design techniques, materials, resources, and an aware-
ness of the interrelated professional responsibility of
environmental problems. Interior Design career opportunities
are numerous due to the demand for professional design ser-
vices by businesses, corporations, community organizations,
and governmental agencies. Graduates of this program usually
assume positions in interior design offices, architectural firms,
or generate their own practices. All entering students must con-
sult with the adviser.

III. CURRICULUM IN LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECTURE
H. H. Smith, Chairman.
This curriculum leads to the first professional degree, Bache-
lor of Landscape Architecture. The program is accredited by the
Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board and is an essen-
tial first step toward legal identity in Florida and other states
Which regulate the practice of landscape architects. Students
become familiar with the art of design, planning or manage-
ment, and the arrangement of natural and man-made elements
on the land through application of cultural and scientific
knowledge. There is concern for resource conservation and
stewardship and belief that the built environment serves useful
and enjoyable purposes. Graduates are employed by profes-
sional offices, municipal, state or federal recreation, landscape
architectural or planning agencies, and the construction of hor-
ticultural industries. Graduates may also continue in graduate
programs at institutions throughout the country.
Since Landscape Architecture is a selective program, please
see Requirements for Admission, College of Architecture. All
entering students must consult with the Department Adviser for
course scheduling and sequencing.

School of Building

Construction

GENERAL STATEMENT
The School of Building Construction was established in 1976
but a curriculum in Building Construction in the College of Ar-'
chitecture has been offered continuously since 1935. While a
few programs were begun before that, none of them are still in
operation today.
The UF program in 1977 was recognized by the Associated
General Contractors Education and Research Foundation as
outstanding in the United States. In 1981, the School was the
first to receive its five-year reaccreditation from the American
Council for Construction Education.
Graduates of the UF School of Building Construction begin
work immediately as project managers, field engineers, project
schedulers, cost engineers, assistant superintendents, quality
controllers and estimators.
The School has a normal Upper Division enrollment of 260,
plus 40 graduate students. Also, a Ph.D. program is offered in
conjunction with the College of Education.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND ASSISTANTSHIPS
Information about general financial aid can be obtained from
the Office of Student Financial Affairs, University of Florida,
Gainesville, Florida. Information concerning scholarships
available specifically for third and fourth year Building Con-
struction students can be obtained from the School.

HONORARY AND PROFESSIONAL
ORGANIZATIONS

COLLEGE COUNCIL
The School of Building Construction's College Council is a
cooperative organization based on mutual confidence among
students, the faculty and the Director. Considerable authority
has been granted to the Council members, all of whom are
elected to represent their peers in dispersing Student Govern-
ment funds to the School's organizations as well as bringing
student concerns and recommendations to the School's Direc-
tor.

SIGMA LAMBDA CHI
The purpose of Sigma Lambda Chi is to recognize outstand-
ing students in Building Construction for scholastic achieve-
ment and extracurricular activities. Semester membership
averages 30 active members. Sigma Lambda Chi provides ser-
vices to BCN students through plans for construction course-
work, guest lecturers, a job reference file and tutoring. Sigma
Lambda Chi provides a channel of communication between
students and outstanding alumni in the construction industry.

STUDENT CONSTRUCTORS AND
COST ENGINEERS
This is a joint Student Chapter of two major professional orga-
nizations in the construction industry the American Institute
of Constructors and the American Association of Cost Engi-
neers. The chapter serves as a bridge between students and pro-
fessionals in the construction industry.
Membership is open to all undergraduate and.graduate
Building Construction majors.


STUDENT CONTRACTORS AND
BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) ac-
tively supports the Student Contractors and Builders Associa-
tion whose purposes are to better the student's awareness of the
construction industry and to promote the School of Building
Construction to both the industry and the community. Any
Building Construction student can and is encouraged to be-
come a member.

ence in Building Construction and Master of Building Con-
struction are offered, as well as a Ph.D. program in conjunction
with the College of Education.
The Freshman and Sophomore programs of study are de-
signed to provide easy transfer for junior and community col-
lege graduates. With proper course planning, transfer students
with'A.A. degrees may complete the four-year degree program
in four remaining semesters at the University. Prospective jun-
ior and community college transfer students should consult
their advisers or write to the School of Building Construction
for a pre-Building Construction program of local study.

College of Business

Administration

The College of Business Administration of the University of
Florida was organized in 1926-1927 and includes programs of
study in accounting, economics, finance, insurance, real estate
and urban analysis, management and administrative sciences,
marketing, and computer and information sciences.
The College's educational objectives are (a) to provide a
broad formal instructional foundation for responsible partici-
pation in business, the professions, and government; (b) to stim-
ulate interest in social, economic, and civic responsibilities; (c)
to develop competence in making business decisions and in
evaluating policy; and (d) to offer fields of specialization in
business or economics and, especially, to encourage intellec-
tual inquiry.
The guiding principle of this College is a broad foundation of
study outside the college, which prepares the student for spe-
cialization through limited concentration in certain fields of
business administration and economics. To this end, each pro-
gram of study is constructed around a core of courses in eco-
nomics and the major functional areas of business.
Graduate programs in business administration and econom-
ics are provided under the Graduate School of Business Admin-
istration for advanced students with interest in careers in
teaching, research, or business. The College participates in pro-
grams of adult and executive development education.
In addition to the University computer center, the College
maintains a college computer center for instructional and re-
search purposes.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND OTHER
FINANCIAL AID
Information about scholarships and other financial aid for
students in the College may be obtained from the Director of
Student Financial Aid, University of Florida, Gainesville, Flor-
ida 32611.
Information on graduate student financial support may be ob-
tained from the Director of Graduate Studies, Graduate School
of Business Administration, University of Florida, Gainesville,
Florida 32611.

MEMBERSHIP IN NATIONAL AND
REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS
The College of Business Administration is an accredited
member of the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of
Business, the Southern Economic Association, the Southern
Business Administrative Association, and the National Retail
Merchants' Association. The baccalaureate and MBA programs
in both business and accounting are accredited by the Ameri-
can Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business.

BETA GAMMA SIGMA
Election to this national honorary society is based on scholar-
ship and character. It fills the place in education for business
that Phi Beta Kappa holds in the field of classical education. For
further information, apply to the Office of the Assistant Dean
for Undergraduate Programs.

PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
Six professional fraternities are represented in the College of
Business Administration: Alpha Kappa Psi, Delta Sigma Pi, and
Phi Chi Theta in Business; Omicron Delta Epsilon in econom-
ics; Alpha Mu Alpha in marketing; and Rho Epsilon in real es-
tate.

College of Dentistry

,.. The College of Dentistry is one of the six colleges which con-
stitute theJ. Hillis Miller Health Science Center. The College of
Dentistry, as well as the other units of the Health Science Cen-
ter, is an integral component, both geographically and func-
tionally, of the University of Florida. Many conjoint projects
between the College and other units of the Health Science Cen-
ter and University have been formulated and implemented.
In 1957 the Florida Legislature authorized the development
of a College of Dentistry in Gainesville, but it was not until the
late 1960s that faculty members were recruited and program
development initiated.
The twelve departments which make up the College of Den-
tistry are Community Dentistry, Dental Biomaterials, Dental
Education, Endodontics, Operative Dentistry, Oral Biology,
Oral Diagnostic Sciences, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Or-
thodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Periodontics, and Prosthodon-
tics. A modular curriculum has been developed based on
multidisciplinary teaching by these departments. The curricu-
lum is designed to permit students flexibility and individualiza-
tion in their program. It is a competency-based curriculum in
which behavioral objectives serve as the primary guidelines for
student advancement. The curriculum is flexible, but students
must complete an appropriate portion of the total curriculum
each semester.
The goals of this College are to prepare the graduate to enter
private dental practice, to enter graduate programs in any of the
dental specialties, to enter into research activities, and to be
prepared for a lifetime of continuing education.
The first class of students was graduated in 1976. The College
offers the Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) degree. (The
D.M.D. and D.D.S. degrees are synonymous.) The College
presently offers Advanced Educational programs in the follow-


ing areas: one-year programs in Dental Public Health, Ad-
vanced Education in General Dentistry, and General Practice
Residency; two-year programs in Orthodontics, Pediatric Den-
tistry, and Periodontics; and a four-year Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgery Residency.
The College of Dentistry aspires to attract students of the
highest caliber into its various programs. High standards of
scholastic achievement, moral character, and motivation are
expected of the applicant. The studentof dentistry must possess
a high basic aptitude supplemented by an academic prepara-
tion of the highest order because of the vast amount of science
which must be mastered by the dentist. The highly personal
relationship between patient and dentist places the latter in a
position of trust, which demands maturity, integrity, intellectual
honesty, and a sense of responsibility. A broad representation of
the ethnic mixture of the state is sought in the student body
through an active recruitment program. The College strictly ad-
heres to the principle of ethnic, racial,"sexual, religious, and
social equality among its student body and faculty.
Generally, students applying for admission should plan to
complete the requirements for a bachelor's degree. However,
outstanding students may be accepted without fulfilling the de-
gree requirements, provided they show evidence of sufficient
preprofessional preparation for the study of dentistry. Appli-
cants with an overall B average as a minimum will receive
strongest consideration for admission to the College of Dernis-
try. Applicants should initiate the application process approxi-
mately 15 months prior to anticipated enrollment by
submitting an application through the centralized American
Association of Dental Schools Application Service.(AADSAS),
P.O. Box 4000, Iowa City, Iowa 52240.
SFurther detailed information will be found in the College of
Dentistry Bulletin. Copies may be obtained by writing to the
Office of Admissions, College of Dentistry, University of Flor-
ida, Box J-445, JHMHC, Gainesville, Florida 32610.










College of Education

GENERAL STATEMENT
The College of Education is the officially designated unit of
the University of Florida that is responsible for teacher educa-
tion. University teacher education programs are approved by
the State Department of Education and the National Council for
Accreditation of Teacher Education.
The University of Florida has undergraduate programs lead-
ing toward the preparation of teachers in Agricultural and Ex-
tension Education through the College of Agriculture; Art
Education through the College of Fine Arts or the College of
Education;'Health Education and Physical Education through
the College of Health and Human Performance; Music Educa-
tion through the College of Fine Arts; the various areas of Sec-
ondary Education through the College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences; and Elementary and Special Education through the
College of Education.
In the program areas of Agricultural and Extension Education,
Art Education, Health Education, Music Education and Physi-
cal Education, students will be recommended for initial teacher
certification upon the completion of their undergraduate de-
grees. In the program areas of elementary education, special
education, and various areas of secondary education, students
must complete an additional year of academic study In the Col-
lege of Education which may lead to the Master of Education
degree prior to recommendation for initial teacher certifica-
tion.

PROTEACH

(A program for the Preparation of Professional Teachers)
Teaching is a more difficult and demanding profession today
than ever before. Conditions teachers face in the classroom are
more complex and stressful than those in the past. At the same
time, parents, other adults, and young people are increasingly
aware that a sound educational background is essential to suc-
cess in later life. The bottom line is that more is expected of
teachers than ever before.
In response to this challenge, the faculty of the College of
Education has developed a new, experimental program for the
preparation of professional teachers in elementary education,
special education, and the various areas of secondary educa-
tion. PROTEACH (from PROfessional TEACHer) is a strong, rig-
orous program consisting of five years of intensive work in
general background knowledge, professional studies, and aca-
demic specialization designed to culminate in a Master of Edu- -
cation degree.
The curriculum of PROTEACH incorporates the best avail-
able information about effective teachers' knowledge, skills,
and personal attributes. The latest developments in instruc-
tional approaches and new technologies are used. PROTEACH
is not built upon the previous program but upon a reconcep-
tualization of what a beginning teacher should know, should be
able to do, and should be as a model for youth. Distinguishing
characteristics of PROTEACH include an increase in course-
work outside the College of Education and expanded founda-
tional studies and clinical experiences.
Within the five-year teacher education program, Elementary
Education majors are required to have 81-93 semester hours
outside the College of Education, including 12-24 hours of spe-
cialized study in one or two academic disciplines. Majors in
Special Education are required to have 70 hours outside the
College of Education, including 18 hours in one academic dis-
cipline. Students in the various subject areas of secondary edu-
cation are required to have an undergraduate major in the
subject they are planning to teach and will receive their Bache-
lor's degree from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. They
will take 9 additional hours in their teaching field as a part of
their Master's degree from the College of Education.
All students in PROTEACH, regardless of their chosen teach-
ing field, take the expanded foundational studies in education.


Those foundational studies include the social, philosophical,
and historical foundations of education; human growth and de-
velopment; ethical principles governing teachers; legal provi-
sions affecting education; the nature of handicapped children
in regular classrooms; educational diagnosis and evaluation;
-interpersonal relations; learning and cognitive process in edu-
cation; instructional design and implementation; and the use of
computers in the classroom,
The extensive clinical component of PROTEACH begins in
the third year and continues through the fifth year. Students en-
gage in early observation, supervised practice, and a conclud-
ing internship in the public schools as well as campus-based
clinical experiences including microteaching, simulation, and
other controlled situations. Methods of instruction and clinical
experiences are concurrent and coordinated; academic and
clinical aspects of course objectives are planned together; and
methods instructors are also clinical supervisors.
Academically able students who are committed to teaching
are encouraged to become a part of this challenging new pro-
fessional program.

College of Engineering

GENERAL STATEMENT
The engineer engages in creative design and construction
and in research and development serving as a bridge be-
tween human needs and the storehouse of theoretical knowl-
edge. In applying science to the common purpose of life, the
engineer couples science with the management of people,
money, time, machines, and materials. Engineering challenges
the individual, stimulating ingenuity and resourcefulness, and
yielding a rewarding sense of creative accomplishment.
The engineer deals with real problems in the real world. This
requires a thorough working knowledge of mathematics and
the sciences as well as an understanding of the legal, economic,
and social restrictions of contemporary society. Clear and pre-
cise communications, whether oral or written, are required of
the engineer when delivering judgments, plans, and decisions.
A sound knowledge of the engineering field and of related dis-
ciplines is required so that the engineer can work effectively
with others other engineers, scientists, and technicians in
fulfilling engineering assignments. Above all, the engineer is
expected to be a responsible citizen.
The various undergraduate programs in the College of Engi-
neering are founded on mathematics and the physical sciences.
Additional emphasis is placed upon the humanities and social
sciences to develop judgment, perspective, and curiosity. Many
graduates continue their formal education beyond the bache-
lor's degree. The education of an engineer should not stop
upon completion of a degree program. Education, formal or
otherwise, is a lifelong process for the successful engineer.
The curricula of the College of Engineering are planned to
achieve these objectives and to provide a wide range of choices
to the student selecting a degree objective. The department is
the basic organizational unit within the College of Engineering
and has both academic and administrative responsibilities for
programs leading to the bachelor's degree. Departments with
baccalaureate degree responsibilities and the bachelor's de-
grees they offer are:

Essential Preparation
Modern engineering education demands much in the way of
specific high school preparation not required in other college
programs. The beginning engineering student'should have a
good understanding of the basic physical sciences, a highly de-
veloped ability in mathematics, and the competence to read
rapidly and with comprehension. The College of Engineering
considers that a minimum adequate preparation follows:
In high school, the student should include the following sub-
jects:
Esssentials Year
Elementary algebra ....................... ..... 1
Intermediate and advanced algebra ................... 1
Plane geometry.............. ...... .. ........ ..
Trigonometry. ................ ................. /
Chemistry ..................................... 1
Physics ............... ....................... 1
Desirable
Additional Mathematics ............... ........... ..1/2
Deficiencies in the above subjects may be overcome by regis-
tering in certain foundation courses before proceeding with
parts of the regular engineering program.

The General Plan of Study
The study program leading to the bachelor's degrees in engi-
neering described under the separate headings on the follow-
ing pages are carefully planned into an organized sequence.
The aggressive, strongly motivated student with proper high
school preparation can complete one of these programs in
about 41/2 years, including a summer term, by carrying course
loads of approximately 15 credit hours. Many students will re-
quire more than this length of time.
Some students, fordifferent reasons, are not prepared to enter
directly into one of the curricula described below. For example,
a student may have attended a high school which did not offer
