Now that you have the University of Florida's undergraduate catalog, you might like help in using it. According to Webster, a catalog is a
complete enumeration of things arranged systematically with descriptive detail. But to find exactly what you want to know it helps to know the
system.
This undergraduate catalog is organized into three main sections. The first explains the University administration as it relates to the
student; the second presents a description of the academic units, and the third section lists the course descriptions. Other information is
provided including a calendar of critical dates at the front and a listing of faculty and administration in the back. An index is placed at the end
of the catalog.
In addition to general information about the University as a whole, the first section has specific details about admission, expenses,
housing, academic regulations, and student life.
A student at the University registers each semester in one of 19 colleges or schools. The second section of the catalog explains the
programs in each of these academic units. Major fields of study degrees offered, requirements for admission or graduation for this unit, and
other pertinent information are located here.
The second section should help the student determine an academic program for a bachelor's degree. Here you learn about the individual
departments of the colleges, something of the philosophy on which the curriculum is based, and the career or competence toward which this
training is aimed.
The third section lists the actual courses and their descriptions. This part is set up alphabetically by departments of instruction. It tells you
which undergraduate courses will be taught in each of the semesters. This section is partially a code (course prefix and number) which
identifies the statewide course number and the University of Florida designation.
FOR ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS:
"Could I be admitted?"
"How much does it cost?"
"Where can I live?"
"When do classes start?
What about vacations?"
"What programs are available?
What courses can I take?"
'Where can I find out about grades,
probation and suspension?"
'What could I major in and what
degrees are offered?"
'What about financial aid?"
"What is special about the University
of Florida?"
For admission requirements, refer to Admission section in general
section and to your specific college section.
See Expenses in general section.
Check Housing section.
See University calendar and critical dates in front section.
Look at descriptions of colleges in second section.
Check requirements for specific courses.

FLORIDA'S FIRST UNIVERSITY
A COMPLETE UNIVERSITY
THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA is one of America's
truly distinctive 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 universities, 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
location in Gainesville, dedicated from its founding to
serve as a home away from home for college students,
adds immeasurably to the educational and social opport-
unities for students.
THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA was admitted in
1985 to the Association of American Universities (AAU),
the most prestigious organization in higher education.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the AAU is com-
posed of North America's finest higher education insti-
tutions, 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 mem-
bership 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,
Vanderbilt, and Virginia-as the outstanding universi-
ties in the South.
THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA is a residential cam-
pus, 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, be-
tween classes and in campus residence 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 interna-
tionally known talents... Daily communications with a
Faculty that is comprised of some of the nation's leading
scholars... Working in laboratories and libraries among
the best in the nation. More than 2,000 faculty mem-
bers and graduate students are awarded research and
training grants annually ranking the University of Flori-
da among the nation's top 35 research universities.
UNDERGRADUATE
OPPORTUNITIES
Because it is complete university-f reshmen through
professional and postdoctoral-the University of Flori-
da 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 re-
search 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 na-
tion's top 25 universities whose bachelor's degree hold-
ers move into graduate programs. Its preparatory pro-
grams for admissions 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 designed for both undergradu-
ates and graduates. It also means a wider selection of
course opportunities outside a student's major 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-nine
per cent of the university's entering freshmen earned
admission test scores above the national mean. Over
half the student enrollment in the university'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 entering 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 programs. These stu-
dents, and any others who desire, are offered special
instructional programs to help them progress scholasti-
cally. These programs have the central goal of equip-
ping students with the ability to complete their degrees.
LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Perhaps above all else, the University of Florida
offers its students leadership training and experience. Its
results are proven. Many state senators and state repre-
sentatives, Floridians in the U.S. Congress, and State
Supreme Court Justices are University of Florida gradu-
ates. Florida's most influential governmental, profes-
sional and business persons have attended the Univer-
sity of Florida. Thousands of other Florida graduates
occupy key positions in every known professional en-
deavor throughout the state, in the nation, and in many
parts of the world.
These are reasons behind the University of Florida's
leadership training success. The contained campus-in
a larger community whose principal focus is on the
University-provides thousands of leadership opportu-
nities. Student Government at the University of Florida
is one of the nation's most independent 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 employed in career-developing positions
and serve internships in Gainesville area institutions.
Mor than 350 student organizations, including frater-
nities and sororities, require full slates of officers. Virtu-
ally every academic offering provides opportunities 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 Florida students. A nationally-recognized
Student Services Office offers counseling programs for
dozens of special student problems-both academic
and personal-as well as leadership training programs.
The University of Florida sees every student as a
whole person. 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 indi-
vidual, the state, and the nation.
2. We believe the University of Florida exists to serve
the social, cultural, industrial, and political institu-
tions of the state.
3. We believe the University of Florida exists to im-
prove 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 research.
5. We believe that research must include pure re-
search to advance knowledge and applied research
to seek solutions for the problems of society.
6. We believe the University must consist bf a com-
munity of scholars in which emphasis is placed on
intellect, on learning and discipline, and on the
sharing of knowledge.
7. We believe the University of Florida serves well its
purposes for existence because of its inclusive, and
mutually supportive, programs in the arts, the hu-
manities, the sciences, and the professions.
8. We believe the University of Florida in order to
fulfill its functions must have talented students,
distinguished faculty a comprehensive library ade-
quate support personnel for its programs, and suffi-
cient and well-maintained equipment and physical
plant.
9. We believe the University of Florida has an obliga-
tion to make its programs and services known to
the people and to the government of the state, in
order to best serve the purposes for which the
University exists.
10. We believe that, by fulfilling its proper functions,
the University of Florida upholds and enhances the
values of society and the nation.
The University of Florida is accredited by the South-
ern Association 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 consolidated
with the state's land-grant Florida Agricultural College,
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 colleges. Since 1947, when the student
body numbered 8,177 men and 601 women, UF has
grown to more than 34,000, largest 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 88,000 situated in north central
Florida, midway between 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 of-
fers many other advantages to students of the Universi-
ty. A golf course is within easy reach of the campus,
and swimming and boating accommodations are avail-
able at nearby springs and rivers. The lakes in the
vicinity abound in freshwater fish, while the Atlantic
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 diversified industrial and farming activities.
Practically every religious denomination is repre-
sented in the Gainesville area including: Presbyterian,
Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, Catholic, Episcopal, Chris-
tian, Seventh Day Adventist, 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, Dis-
ciples of Christ, Pentecostal Holiness, United Church of
Christ, and Unitarian-Universalist. Several of these de-
nominations maintain chapels adjacent to the campus.
These include St. Augustine 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 Sys-
tem. The Regional Transit system serves the City of
Gainesville. Eastern Airlines had daily flights with con-
nections to all parts of the U.S. Several commuter
airlines serve major areas of the state.
,
GOVERNMENT OF
THE UNIVERSITY
Direct supervision over the University of Florida, its
policies and affairs, is vested in the Board of Regents, a
body composed of eleven citizens who are appointed
by the Govemor for six-year terms, one student appointed
for one year, and the State Commissioner of Education.
University affairs are administered by the President with
the advice and assistance of the University Senate and
various committees elected by the Senate and appointed
by the President.

GENERAL INFORMATION
THE FLORIDA STATE MUSEUM
The Florida State Museum was created by an act of
the Legislature in 1917 as a department of the University
of Florida. Through its affiliation with the University it
carries the dual responsibility of the State Museum of
Florida and the University Museum.
The Museum operates as a center of research in
natural history. Its functions as an educational arm of
the University are carried forward through interpretive
displays and scientific and popular publications. Under
the administrative control of the Director are the three
departments of the Museum: Natural Sciences is con-
cerned with the study and expansion of the research
collections as well as research in a variety of areas in
functional and evolutionary biology sociobiology and
ecology; Anthropology is concerned with the study of
human variation and cultures, both historic and prehis-
toric; Interpretation is concerned with the interpretation
of knowledge through museum education and exhibit
techniques. Members of the scientific and educational
staff of the Museum hold dual appointments in appro-
priate teaching departments. Through these appoint-
ments they participate in both the undergraduate and
graduate teaching programs and supervision of gradu-
ate students.
Scientific reports are published in the Bulletin of
the Florida State Museum, Biological Sciences, the
Ripley P Bullen Monographs 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. Materials are constantly being added
to the collections both through gifts from friends and as
the result of research activities of the Museum staff.
There are extensive study collections of birds, mam-
mals, mollusks, reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrate
and vertebrate fossils, as well as archives of animals'
sounds associated with the bioacoustics laboratory. The
archaeological and ethnological collections are note-
worthy.

With this objective, the FFFS oversees the statewide
network of 30 Regional Science and Engineering Fairs
in Florida schools for students in grades K through 12.
The Foundation also directly sponsors state-level events
each year in various locations throughout the state.
On the campus of the University of Florida, the
Florida Foundation for Future Scientists operates as a
center for precollege academic achievers, reporting to
the University of Florida Provost and the Office for
Academic Affairs. High school students who have dem-
onstrated academic talent are regularly invited to par-
ticipate in residential programs sponsored by the FFFS.
Opportunities other than those usually available in high
schools are offered to qualified students through academic
programs that utilize faculty and facilities of the Univer-
sity of Florida.
The Student Science Training Program (SSTP) is an
8-week residential, research participation program for
high ability precollege students who have expressed
interest in science and engineering. It is held annually
from mid-June until mid-August and is a component of
the Florida Governor's Summer Program for Gifted and
Academically Talented Students.
The Junior Science, Engineering, and Humanities
Symposium is an annual 3-day meeting held in early
February. High school students and their teachers are
invited to participate in laboratory sessions, seminars,
and workshops, and programs in the humanities.
The FFFS also assists the UF colleges in planning
and operating other on-campus programs for high school
students. The office cooperates with alumni affairs in
the summer-visit program for merit scholar semifinalists
and with the Registrar's Office in coordinating Dual
Enrollment for eligible high school students requesting
approved University coursework.
The Florida Foundation for Future Scientists is lo-
cated at 111 Norman Hall, in offices at the corner of
SW 5th Avenue and SW 12th Street.
THE UNIVERSITY GALLERY is an integral part of
the College of Fine Arts. The Gallery is located on the
campus facing Southwest 13th Street (or U.S. 441). An
atrium and a contemporary sculptural fountain are two
pleasing features of the Gallery's distinctive architectur-
al style. The Gallery, with 3000 square feet of display
space, is completely modern, air-conditioned, and main-
tains a varied exhibition schedule of the visual arts
during the year. The content of exhibitions displayed in
the University Gallery range from the creations by
traditional masters to the latest and most experimental
works by the modern avant garde. The minor arts of
yesterday and today along with the creations of oriental
and primitive cultures form topics for scheduled exhibi-
tions. Besides its regularly scheduled exhibitions, which
show for approximately four to six weeks, the Gallery
originates several unique exhibitions from its own and
other museums' collections each year. The Gallery's
hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily except Sunday
when they are 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The Gallery is closed
on Saturday and holidays.
THE ART DEPARTMENT GALLERY the teaching
gallery, is located adjacent to the Department's Office
area On the third floor of the classroom building (FAC)
in the Architecture and Fine Arts complex. As a direct
and physical adjunct to the Art Department's teaching
program, this Gallery displays smaller traveling exhibi-
tions of merit as well as one man shows by faculty
artists and student exhibitions. The Gallery is open
Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon and from
1 p.m. to 5 p.m. It is closed Saturdays, Sundays, and
holidays.
THE CENTER FOR LATIN AMERICAN AND TROPI-
CAL ARTS is an interdisciplinary Center that provides
coordination, direction, and focus to strengthen existing
programs related to the fine arts within the College of
Fine Arts. The Center's faculty is bound together by a
desire to relate their research and teaching activities to
the broader concepts concerned with the fine arts of
various world cultures. The Center broadens and strength-
ens existing interdepartmental relations and provides
additional stimuli and mechanisms for translating re-
sults of research into ways of addressing societal needs.
It also establishes more effective lines for training stu-
dents at the undergraduate, graduate, and adult educa-
tion levels in various aspects of the fine arts.
THE UNIVERSITY BROADCAST FACILITY is oper-
ated by the College of journalism and Communica-
tions. It includes WUFT Channel 5, a public broadcasting
television station (PBS); WUFT-FM, a noncommercial
radio station (NPR) 89.1 MHz; WRUF-AM, a commer-
cial radio station (CBS) 850 KHz; and WRUF-FM, a
commercial FM station (CBS), stereo, 103.7 MHz.
Approximately 100 students are employed in these
broadcasting operations. Thus, in addition to the broad
academic background provided in the University's class-
rooms and laboratories, these work opportunities pro-
GENERAL INFORMATION
vide a valuable experience in day-to-day operations
typical of the industry. Students perform such functions
as reporter, anchor-person, news producer, recording
engineer, director, cameraman, and announcer, all un-
der the guidance of professional broadcasters. The col-
lege has earned a nationwide reputation for the demon-
strated effectiveness of this academic and work experi-
ence training.
WUFT-TV operates at the maximum power autho-
rized for a television station of its classification: 100,000
watts visual and 20,000 watts aural. The over-air broad-
cast signal encompasses a 65-mile radius from the
station's transmitter site northwest of Gainesville and
reaches 16 counties in North Central Florida. WUFT-
TV's signal is carried by more than 20 cable companies
in the state, expanding the coverage area even beyond
these broadcast boundaries. The station's programming
is a mixture of programs acquired through the Public
Broadcasting Service (PBS), Florida Public Broadcast-
ing, Inc. (FPB), various public broadcasting consor-
tiums, independent distributors, and locally produced
programs. Of the latter category WUFT-TV produces an
evening newscast and a television magazine program,
both aired on weeknights, in addition to specially
produced features and documentaries. The station has
won numerous local, regional, and national awards for
outstanding promotion and advertising campaigns it
has conducted in support of programs and activities,
and WUFT-TV consistently ranks at or near the top in
percentage of viewership compared to other public TV
stations in the nation.
WUFT-FM, with 100,000 watts of power, reaches
16 North Central Florida counties. The only public
radio station in that area, WUFT-FM broadcasts on a
24-hour a day schedule, year round. The station pre-
sents classical, jazz, and folk music, in addition to
news and public affairs information. The station pro-
vides a variety of on-air, production, and reporting
experience for broadcast majors of the College of jour-
nalism and Communications. These students are under
the direct guidance of professional public radio broad-
casters. With a strong emphasis on local production
and programming, WUFT-FM is a satellite member
station of the National Public Radio and Florida Public
Radio Networks and aims to service and reflect the
diverse needs of the communities of North Central
Florida.
WRUF-FM serves the contemporary music audi-
ence with album rock, while WRUF-AM's music is of a
more adult nature, featuring adult middle-of-the-road
music from the 40's, 50's, and 60's. Student communi-
cators produce and broadcast regular news programs
over both stations under faculty supervision.
The student's proximity to and participation in this
diverse broadcast operation brings a greater under-
standing of the opportunities and obligations that exist
in the field of broadcasting.
THE UNIVERSITY PRESSES OF FLORIDA. The Uni-
versity of Florida is host to the State University System's
scholarly publishing facility University Presses of Flori-
da. 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 par-
ticular interest and usefulness to the citizens of
Florida. The Press shall publish original works by
state university 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
independently responsible for selecting works for publi-
cation through the facilities of University Presses of
Florida. At the University of Florida, the University
Press Board of Managers oversees the locally deter-
mined publishing program.
The purpose of the University of Florida Press is to
encourage, seek out, and publish original and scholarly
manuscripts which will aid in developing the Universi-
ty as a recognized center of research and scholarship.
The Press Board of Managers, including the direc-
tor and 15 faculty experts appointed by the President of
the University determines policies of publication relat-
ing to the acceptance or rejection of manuscripts and
the issuance of author contracts. Each year the board
examines numerous manuscripts submitted not only by
the University faculty but by authors from all over the
United States, Europe, and Latin America.
University Presses of Florida is a member of the
Association of American University Presses and of the
Association of American Publishers, Inc.
ORGANIZED RESEARCH
THE DIVISION OF SPONSORED RESEARCH was
established by an act of the legislature to support and to
foster sponsored research and training as a resource
essential to excellence in education and to provide
maximum service to the State. The Division is a devel-
opment 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 train-
ing projects are carried out by the Division.
The activities of the Division of Sponsored Re-
search are intended to stimulate growth and to assist in
expanding a balanced research and training program
throughout the University. These activities are intimately
related to the support of the graduate and professional
program. The services provided are designed to relieve
the principal investigators in many departments of de-
tailed administrative and reporting duties connected
with some sponsored programs. The duties and respon-
sibilities of the Division, of course, do not supplant the
prerogative of the principal investigator who seeks spon-
sors 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, coordination with the Divi-
sion is necessary to ensure uniformity in contract re-
quirements 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 so-
lution of agricultural problems in the State. Research is
administered through the office of the Dean for Re-
search located on the University of Florida campus.
IFAS research is conducted throughout the State. De-
partments located on campus include-Agricultural En-
gineering, Agricultural and Extension Education, Agrono-
my, 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, Microbiology
and Cell Science, Soil Science, Statistics, Vegetable
Crops, and Preventive Medicine (College of Veterinary
Medicine). In addition, five units vital to its research
programs, namely: Editorial, Library Business Service,
and Centers for Environmental Programs and Biomass,
are located on campus. The School of Forest Resources
and Conservation includes Departments of Forestry,
Wildlife and Range Sciences, and Fisheries and Aqua-
culture.
In order to best serve the varied needs of Florida's
diversified agriculture, Agricultural Research and Edu-
cational Centers are located at numerous locations
having different climatic conditions, soil types and crops.
Intensive research is conducted in all fields of agricul-
ture such as citrus, vegetable, field crops, livestock,
pastures, and many others. Agricultural Research and
Education Centers are located in Homestead, Belle
Glade, Bradenton, 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 biological research pro-
grams and youth programs. Agricultural Research Cen-
ters are located in Monticello, Ft. Pierce, Immokalee,
Dover, Ft. Lauderdale, Hastings, Ona, Apopka, Marianna,
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 pasture production and management pro-
grams; with the National Weather Service, Ruskin, in
the Federal Frost Warning Service for fruit and vegeta-
ble producers and shippers; and with numerous Florida
agricultural agencies and organizations.
Results of IFAS research are published in scientific
journals, bulletins, monographs, circulars, and mimeo-
graph 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 coop-
erates closely with the Cooperative Extension Service in
providing research findings for prompt dissemination.
THE FLORIDA ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIAL
EXPERIMENT 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 prosecution of re-
search projects of engineering and related sciences,
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
relationship with the EIES serving as the research arm of
the College. In this capacity the EIES fulfills its function
of conducting research on many of Florida's most sig-
nificant problems ranging from energy to water re-
sources, environmental issues to health-related activi-
ties. 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 engineering problems normally not
encountered in a college program, and helps the facul-
ty better instill students with the qualifications neces-
sary for the successful practice of their profession.
Moreover, both undergraduate and graduate students
frequently find employment and research projects.
The Station receives a small but important portion
of its operating funds from the State; this funding base
results in a near 10 to 1 return from contracts and
grants with governmental agencies, foundations, and
industrial organizations. The Station has excellent facilities
and faculty in many diverse fields; a few such examples
are: solar energy, bioengineering, manufacturing and
automation sciences, energy conservation and conver-
sion, ceramics, new materials development, device
physics, robotics, geotechnics, transportation research,
coastal and oceanographic engineering, microelectron-
ics, air and water pollution control, nuclear pumped
lasers, systems analysis, fluid dynamics and hydrology,
technology for enhanced oil recovery, lightning re-
search, and hazardous wastes management.
THE FLORIDA ARCHITECTURE AND BUILDING
RESEARCH CENTER, the research arm of the College of
Architecture, promotes, encourages, and coordinates
research activities among the College's five academic
disciplines: Architecture, Building Construction, Urban
and Regional Planning, Landscape Architecture, and
Interior Design. Principal, current research interests of
the Center include architectural acoustical modeling,
energy efficiency development codes, roofing, comput-
er resource mapping, central city redevelopment, ar-
chitectural 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 Architec-
ture 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 Statistical Abstract, BEBR Monographs,
The Florida Outlook, Population Studies, Florida Esti-
mates of Population, Economic Leaflets, and Building

THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION CLEARING SER-
VICE is a research, 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 administration and pub-
lic 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 Commu-
nications, conducts pure and applied research in a
variety of fields of mass communication, including
advertising, broadcasting, journalism, and public rela-
tions. 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 control 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 University is
coordinated by the staff, who also conduct extensive
institutional research.
FACILITIES PLANNING performs the analysis and
planning required to ensure that available fixed capital
outlay resources are used in providing adequate facili-
ties for the many and diverse programs of the Universi-
ty of Florida at minimum long-range cost. Work is
carried out by the professional staff and related commit-
tees in the areas of campus planning, space assign-
ment, coordination of architectural design, and con-
struction of facilities.
FLORIDA FREEDOM OF INFORMATION CLEARING
HOUSE is supported by a permanent endowment con-
tributed by media throughout the state and nation. It
keeps extensive files on all freedom of information
problems in the State of Florida and produces the
Florida Freedom of Information Clearing House news-
letter 10 times a year.
THE FLORIDA WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH CEN-
TER, which is funded by the Department of the Interior,
was established in 1964 at the University of Florida as
the result of the passage of PL. 88-379 The Water
Resources Research Act of 1964 "to stimulate, spon-
sor, provide for, and supplement present programs for
conduct of research, investigation, experiments, 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 advi-
sory committee appointed by the President of the Uni-
versity. Research projects administered by the Center
and pertaining to the achievement of adequate state-
wide water resource management, water quality and
water quantity are being conducted by professors in
various departments at the University of Florida and
other colleges 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
SCIENCES (IFAS) is the University of Florida's statewide
agricultural 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 Florida Board of Control. This action consolidat-
ed into one overall budgetary unit four previously
separate budgetary units the College of Agriculture,
the Florida Agricultural Experiment Stations, the Florida
Cooperative Extension Service, and the School of For-
estry. Today IFAS also includes the College of Veterinary
Medicine as well as the Florida Seagrant Extension
Program 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, re-
search, and extension activities.
The primary mission if IFAS is to help Florida
realize its maximum potential for agricultural develop-
ment and to contribute to the solution of many social,
economic, environmental, and cultural problems of
concern to the people of the state. This vital develop-
mental mission is.carried out through the three func-
tions 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 Affairs.
The offices of the Vice President as well as the
Deans for Resident 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 edu-
cating young men and women for the nation's growing
and increasingly complex agricultural industry. The cur-
ricula for the different fields of study are structured to
provide the business, technological, and science edu-
cation necessary for graduates to meet the ever chang-
ing needs-of a diverse and highly specialized agricul-
ture as well as related business and industry. All academic
departments offer an undergraduate program leading
to a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. The School of
Forest Resources and Conservation offers an undergrad-
uate program which leads to the Bachelor 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
development as well as improving existing technology
to enable Florida's agricultural industry to become more
efficient, particularly in reducing dependence on con-
sumption of fossil fuels; to improve consumer health
and nutrition; and to improve the social and economic
well-being of producers and consumers of agricultural
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 under THE AGRICULTURAL
EXPERIMENT STATION of the Organized Research
section.
The Florida Cooperative Extension Service is ad-
ministered by IFAS in cooperation with the several
Boards of County Commissioners in the state and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture. Extension offices in all
67 counties are responsible for the transfer and applica-
tion of knowledge through nonresident educational pro-
grams. These programs are tailored to fit the needs of
the many audiences in agricultural production, market-
ing, and utilization; home economics; community re-
source development; marine sciences; and energy. Au-
diences 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 developing ways to
protect managed agriculture ecosystems from environ-
mental damage, integrating environmental practices into
agricultural production technology and protecting and
enhancing the quality'of all of Florida's environment.
In 1980, IFAS received approval for the establish-
ment of the Center for Biomass Energy Systems. The
Center coordinates planning, development, and imple-
mentation of research related 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 responsi-
ble for administration, coordination, and development
of all activities which build or strengthen the interna-
tional dimension of IFAS. This includes participation in
the determination of contract and grant policy, develop-
ment 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 specif-
ic objective. This .provides a unique opportunity for
focusing maximum resources available on the project.
Both faculty in the state and those overseas benefit by
the interchange of ideas. Education and research is
handled under the same office by the Center for Tropi-
cal Agriculture established in 1965.
THE j. HILLS MILLER
HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER
Outreach to people through patient care, educa-
tion, research; and community service has been the
guiding rule of the University of Florida's J. Hillis Miller
Health Science Center since its founding in 1956.
Today these services emanate from a modern insti-
tution that encompasses six colleges Medicine,
Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Related Professions, Den-
tistry and Veterinary Medicine and two teaching
hospitals Shands for human patients and the Veteri-
nary Medical Teaching Hospital for animals.
Shands Hospital, under private corporate manage-
ment since 1980, serves as a major referral center for
modern patient care and clinical training of students in
the health professions. The Veterinary Medical Teach-
ing Hospital serves the state's practicing veterinarians
GENERAL INFORMATION
by providing a modern, well-equipped facility for refer-
ring animal patients with rare or complicated diseases.
The state's first College of Dentistry became opera-
tional at the Health Center in 1975, followed by the
first College of Veterinary 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 Medi-
cal Center, plus a cooperative education 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 train-
ing at the Health Center through 44 different health
professions programs. These academic programs help
the students to understand 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 involve-
ment in research (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 prevention of illness.
Since the opening of its first units the Colleges of
Medicine and Nursing the Health Center has be-
come 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 university, Dr.
J. Hillis Miller. Dr. Miller's vision and determination
helped formulate the early planning of the health com-
plex 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 Admissions Section of the Office of the
Registrar on the forms prescribed and by the dates
indicated below. It is quite proper to correspond with
deans, directors, or department chairpersons, 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 Florida, Gainesville, Florida, 32611, asking
for application forms. Forms and directions for comple-
tion of applications vary with the level of entry at the
University and the applicant should indicate that forms
are being requested for admission as a Freshman, Under-
graduate Transfer, Postbaccalaureate, Graduate, Den-
tal, Law, Medical, Veterinary Medicine, or Special stu-
dent, 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 instructions. An ap-
proval 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 quali-
fied applicants of both sexes from all cultural, racial,
religious, and ethnic groups. The University does not
discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, sex,
marital status, religion, age or handicap. The University
when appropriate, provides substitution of courses for
handicapped individuals upon request. Both the
Educational Testing Service (SAT) and the American
College Testing Program (ACT) have brochures describ-
ing 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 furnish a complete chronological record of
educational institutions previously attended. Offi-
cial transcripts must be submitted in accordance
with instructions which accompany the application
form.
2. Satisfactory scores on achievement tests or apti-
tude tests as noted in the application instructions.
3. A satisfactory conduct record.
4. Students whose native language is not English
must submit 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 on information
in connection with an application for admission or
residence affidavit may result in disciplinary action,
denial of admission, and invalidation of credits or
degrees earned.
The specific requirements for readmission (at the
same or a different level) of a student previously en-
rolled at the University of Florida are given in the
Student Academic Regulations section of this catalog
(see Table of Contents).
The specific requirements for admission to the Uni-
versity 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 mini-
mum requirements are given and that admission to the
University is a selective process. The satisfaction of
minimum requirements does not automatically guaran-
tee admission. Under 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 Com-
mittee is the agency at the University of Florida that is
responsible for the admission of undergraduate students
under this exception policy. For additional information
regarding this policy contact the Director for Minority
and Disadvantaged Admissions, Office of the Registrar.
The admission requirements were derived from care-
ful analysis of student experiences over a period of
many 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 University of Florida.
The University Admissions Committee is responsi-
ble for administering all admissions to the University
and its various components including applicants ap-
proved as exceptions to the minimum admission re-
quirements 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.
1. Beginning Freshmen: students who have never
attended college. (See following section, ADMISSION
AS A FRESHMAN)
2. Undergraduate Transfers: students who have
previously attended any college or university, re-
gardless of amount of time spent in attendance or
credit earned, but who have not received a Bache-
lor's degree. (See following section, ADMISSION
AS A TRANSFER STUDENT TO UNDERGRADU-
ATE SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES)
3. Postbaccalaureate Students: students who have
received a Bachelor's degree but do not wish to be
admitted to graduate study. (See following section,
ADMISSION AS A POSTBACCALAUREATE STU-
DENT)
4. Graduate Students: candidates for Master's or
Doctor's degrees. (See following section, ADMIS-
SION TO GRADUATE SCHOOL)
5. Dental Students: candidates for admission to the
College of Dentistry. (See following section, AD-
MISSION TO COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY)
6. Law Students: candidates for admission to the
Juris Doctor program in the College of Law. (See

ADMISSION AS A SPECIAL STUDENT)
10. Transient Students: applicants who wish to en-
roll for one term only in order to complete work for
transfer back to parent institution. (See following
section, ADMISSION AS A TRANSIENT STUDENT)
TRAVELING SCHOLAR
PROGRAM
The Traveling Scholar Program affords graduate stu-
dents at State University System institutions an opportu-
nity to take coursework or conduct research activities at
any of the other institutions in the System. Coursework
taken under the auspices of the Traveling Scholar Pro-
gram at another university in the System will apply for
graduate credit at the student's home institution. The
deans of the graduate schools of the State universities
are the coordinators of the program. For details regard-
ing the Traveling Scholar Program and approval to
participate in it, students must apply to the dean of the
graduate school on their home campus.
UNDERGRADUATE
INTERINSTITUTIONAL
REGISTRATION PROGRAM
The Undergraduate Interinstitutional Registration Pro-
gram enables students at State University System insti-
tutions to take advantage of special resources and
programs available on another campus in the System
but not available at their home institution, e.g., special
course offerings, research opportunities, unique labora-
tories, overseas study programs, and library collections.
Coursework taken under the Undergraduate Interinsti-
tutional Registration Program will be accepted for cred-
it at the student's home institution. Students must be
recommended to participate in the program by their
own academic dean, who will initiate a visiting ar-
rangement 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 received 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 admission to the Fall class will be
provided for qualified applicants whose applications
and supporting records are received in the Admissions
Office prior to February 1st. Applications for the Fall
class received after February 1st will be considered on
a "space available" basis only. The deadlines for re-
ceipt 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 University 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 subsequently
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
designed 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 Division program at
the University of Florida.
A. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION-FLORIDA
STUDENTS
For consideration a student must meet the following
minimums:
1. Graduation from an accredited secondary school
or the equivalent (G.E.D., etc.).
2. Nineteen (19) academic units in college prepar-
atory courses. The following distribution of the 19
academic units is required:
English (3 of which include substantial
writing requirements).................................... 4
Math (Algebra 1, formal Geometry,
Algebra II) ........................................... :.3
Natural Science (2 of which include
substantial laboratory requirements) ..........3
Social Science .................................................. 3
Foreign Language ................................................2
Academic Electives ..............................................4
3. An overall C average as computed by the Univer-
sity of Florida in academic courses.
4. A total score of at least 840 on the Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT) with a minimum verbal score of
340, a minimum quantitative score of 400, and a
minimum score of 30 on the Test of Standard
Written English (TSWE). On the American College
Testing Program (ACT), a composite score of 17 is
required with a minimum of 14 on the English
subsection and a minimum of 13 on the math
subsection.
5. State University System Freshman Eligibility Index
Academic ACT SAT
GPA Composite Total
3.0 17 840
2.9 18 860
2.8 18 870
2.7 18 880
2.6 19 890
2.5 19 900
2.4 20 930
2.3 21 960
2.2 22 990
2.1 23 1020
2.0 24 1050
6. A record of good conduct. Major or continuing
difficulty with school or other officials may make an
applicant ineligible regardless of academic qualifi-
cations.
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 considered for admission. The
applicant's overall academic background 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 inter-
ested in attending the University of Florida is urged to
submit an application. 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 Uni-
versity is permitted to enroll, admission will be on a
selective basis. An applicant's total high school record
including grades, test scores, educational objective and
pattern of courses completed, rank in class, school
recommendation, and personal record will be consid-
ered in the selection process.
Composite pictures of the Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT) results of recent Freshman classes at the Universi-
ty 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 Uni-
versity 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 consideration are essentially
the same as for Florida students except 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.
OTHER INFORMATION OF
INTEREST TO PROSPECTIVE
FRESHMAN APPLICANTS
Early Admission
Applications for Early Admission (i.e. admission
following completion of the junior year in high school)
from superior students are encouraged and will be
considered on an individual basis by the University's
Admissions Committee. Applications should be sub-
mitted 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.
2. An official transcript of the applicant's second-
ary school record covering 9th, 10th, and 11th
years. Generally an overall 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 composite 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 specific 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 Committee before a decision is made
on the application. The Admissions Office will advise
the applicant if interviews will be required after all of
the above items have been received and evaluated.
IMPORTANT: Please note that an applicant should
NOT report for interviews until advised by the Admis-
sions Office.
The University of Florida provides numerous op-
portunities other than Early Admission by which a
student may accelerate graduation. For additional infor-
mation, please refer to the section of this catalog enti-
tled Time Shortened Degree Opportunities.
Candidate's Reply Date. Applicants accepted for
admission to the Fall Freshman class must indicate their
enrollment plans within 30 days after acceptance.
Advance Housing Payment. Entering freshmen are
required to make a housing deposit within 30 days after
acceptance if they desire to live in the University
housing. The housing deposit, less a $15.00 service
charge, is refundable until May 1st for applicants ac-
cepted for admission to the Fall Freshman class.
Admission with Advanced Standing. The University
of Florida is a participant in the Advanced Placement
Program (APP) and the College Level Examination Pro-
gram (CLEP) of the College Entrance Examination Board.
Under the Advanced Placement Program a student
entering the University offers a nationally graded exam-
ination as evidence of completion of a 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 exemp-
tion from such courses without credit. Under the Col-
lege Level Examination Program, the University grants
credits for satisfactory scores in each of the five areas of
the CLEP General Examinations. For further informa-
tion, 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. Students must
certify that this is their only application and this state-
ADMISSIONS
ment must be received by November 1, and, if admit-
ted, students must make a commitment to attend the
University of Florida, accompanied by their housing
payment, by December 1.
ADMISSION AS A
TRANSFER STUDENT TO
UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOLS
AND COLLEGES
(APPLICANTS WHO HAVE ATTENDED ANY COLLEGE
OR UNIVERSITY REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF
TIME SPENT IN ATTENDANCE OR CREDIT EARNED,
ARE CONSIDERED AS TRANSFER STUDENTS.)
When to Apply: Applications may be submitted not
more than one year in advance, and applicants are
strongly urged to apply at least six months prior to the
date they plan to enter. Applicants should refer to the
DEADLINES FOR APPLYING section of the University
Calendar published in this catalog as well as consult
the portion of this catalog pertaining to the individual
college to which they intend to apply, for specific
information regarding application deadlines. (NOTE: In
a number of 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 admission of undergraduate transfer students. It
should be observed, however, that ADMISSION TO
THE UNIVERSITY IS A SELECTIVE PROCESS AND SAT-
ISFYING THESE GENERAL REQUIREMENTS DOES NOT
GUARANTEE ACCEPTANCE. Attention is also directed
to t f the fact that Upper Division colleges of the Universi-
ty 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 selection committee of the appropriate
College for consideration of their enrollment.
A transfer applicant should refer to the General
Information and Colleges sections of this catalog for an
explanation of the academic organization of the Uni-
versity. (See the Table of Contents.)
If an applicant is accepted for admission, courses
which reasonably parallel the curriculum of the Univer-
sity of Florida that were completed with grades of D or
higher at other accredited institutions are acceptable for
transfer credit. It is the prerogative of the college (with-
in 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 required for a University of Florida degree. Courses
completed at a junior college in excess of a total of 64
semester hours may serve to meet specific course re-
quirements for a University of Florida degree but the
credit hours represented by those courses will not
reduce the number of credit hours to be completed at
the University.
A. FLORIDA PUBLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE GRADUATES
This section applies ONLY to students seeking to
transfer directly from a Florida public junior college
with the Associate of Arts degree in a university parallel
program. All other junior college applicants and under-
graduate transfer applicants from four-year or upper
division colleges and universities should consult Sec-
tion B which follows.
The University of Florida subscribes to the Articula-
tion 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 admission to nonlimited access
programs at the University if the student has completed
the university parallel program and received the Associ-
ADMISSIONS
ate 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 semester hours;
3. A grade point average of at least 2.0 on a 4.0
system on all college level academic courses
attempted.
By law, all applicants seeking admission to a pro-
gram in teacher education must submit scores on the
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College
Test (ACT). These scores should be forwarded to the
Admissions Office as soon as possible after an applica-
tion for admission has been submitted. Some colleges
with enrollment quotas may require applicants to sub-
mit test scores as a part of their selection process.
When test scores are required by an Upper Division
college, the applicants will be advised directly by that
college.
An undergraduate transfer applicant who will enter
the University of Florida with junior class standing (AA
degree from a Florida public community college or 60
semester hours of acceptable transfer credit) must have
satisfactorily completed the College Level Academic
Skills Test (CLAST) in order to be admitted in a degree-
seeking status.
Within space and fiscal limitations, applicants who
have satisfied the above minimum requirements will be
considered for admission at the Junior 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 Associ-
ate of Arts degree in a university parallel program and
to all undergraduate transfer applicants from other col-
leges or universities.
I. Requirements for Admission to the Lower Division
1. Eligible for admission as a beginning Freshman:
An applicant must have been eligible for admission
to the University of Florida as a beginning Fresh-
man 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 Univer-
sity of Florida) on all work attempted at each
institution previously attended. No application can
be considered until complete official transcripts of
all the applicant's undergraduate work are in the
possession of the Admissions Ofice. An official
transcript must be furnished from each institution
attended regardless of length of attendance or cred-
it earned. Official supplementary transcripts are
required, as soon as they are available, for any
work completed after making application. Since an
average of C or higher is required for graduation
from the University 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. This require-
ment may be met by satisfactory completion of
either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the
College entrance Examination Board or the Ameri-
can College Testing program (ACT). The minimum
acceptable score on these tests will vary with the
amount and quality of academic study the appli-
cant will have completed prior to transfer.
5. Satisfactory conduct record: An applicant must
present a satisfactory conduct record. Regardless of
other qualifications, an applicant who has experi-
enced serious or continuing difficulty with school
or other authorities because of improper conduct
may find his or her application disapproved.
II. Requirements for Admission to an Upper
Division College
With the exception of Items 1 and 4, an applicant
for admission to an Upper Division College must satisfy
the requirements listed above for admission to the
Lower Division. By law, all applicants seeking admis-
sion to a program in teacher education must submit
scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the
American College Test (ACT). These scores should be
forwarded 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
requirements must also be satisfied.
1. Advanced standing credit: An applicant must
present a minimum of 60 semester hours (or 90
quarter hours) of acceptable college courses, not
more than four semester hours of which are in
Military Science and/or basic required Physical Ed-
ucation as credit for advanced standing.
2. Specific course requirements: An applicant must
present the courses listed as required for admission
by the Upper Division College of his or her choice,
or acceptable substitutes, as part of the courses
offered for advanced standingcredit. (Seeapporpriate
college section of this catalog.) Upon recommen-
dation by the Upper Division College, an applicant
lacking some of the specific course requirements
may be permitted to enroll in that college and
complete them if all other requirements for admis-
sion are met; however, such Lower Division 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 College at an institution in the State
University System of Florida must have satisfactorily
completed the College Level Academic Skills Test
(CLAST).
C. TRANSFER CREDIT POLICY
If an applicant is accepted for undergraduate trans-
fer admission, courses completed at other regionally
accredited institutions of higher education with grades
of D or higher which reasonably parallel the curricu-
lum at the University of Florida will be accepted for
transfer credit. The determination of how transfer credit
may be used to satisfy the specific course requirements
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 stu-
dent's subsequent performance at the University 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 institutions 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 depart-
ments have found it necessary to establish deadlines for
the receipt of applications and their supporting records
that are earlier than the deadlines established for the
University and published in the catalog. All applicants
are advised to refer to the DEADLINES FOR APPLYING
section of the University Calendar published in this
catalog 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 non-
accredited 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 graduate study at some future date.
Application for admission as a postbaccalaureate
student must be made to the Admissions Section, Office
of the Registrar, University of Florida, Gainesville, Flor-
ida, 32611, on forms supplied by that office. Applica-
tions are referred to the appropriate department for
approval or disapproval. No application will be consid-
ered unless complete official transcripts) 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
Registrar of the institution at which the work was
performed. Official supplementary transcripts) are re-
quired, 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 Col-
lege of Education for further information.
A student whose native tongue is not English apply-
ing for admission as a postbaccalaureate student must
submit acceptable 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
information concerning admission procedures may be
obtained from the Admissions Section, Office of the
Registrar, 135 Tigert Hall, University of Florida, Gaines-
ville, Florida, 32611. Prospective students are urged to
apply for admission as early as possible. For some
departments, deadlines for receipt of admission appli-
cations may be earlier than those stated in the current
University Calendar; prospective students should check
with the appropriate department. Applications which
meet minimum standards are referred to the graduate
selection committees of the various colleges and de-
partments for approval or disapproval.
To be admitted to graduate study in a given depart-
ment, the prospective student must satisfy the require-
ments of the college and department as well as those of
the Graduate School. In some departments, available
resources limit the number of students 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
ADMISSIONS
anda minimum Verbal-Quantitative total score of 1000
on the Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record Examina-
tion. For some colleges and departments, and in more
advanced levels of graduate study, an undergraduate
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 read-
ing knowledge of at least one foreign language. Excep-
tions to the above requirements are made only when
these and other criteria including letters of recommen-
dation are reviewed and recommended by the depart-
ment 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 accredited college or university. No
application will be considered 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 tran-
scripts are required 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 grad-
uate study in any college or department of the University.
The Board of Regents has also ruled that in admit-
ting students for a given academic year, up to ten
percent may be admitted as exceptions. Students ad-

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. Stu-
dents applying for admission to the Graduate School for
study in the College of Business Administration or
Fisher School of Accounting may substitute satisfactory
scores on the Graduate Management Admission Test
(GMAT) for the Graduate Record Examination. Students
applying for admission to the Master of Business Ad-
ministration (MBA) program must submit satisfactory
scores on the GMAT. Applicants are requested to con-
tact the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New
Jersey, for additional information.
Graduate Study in Law. Students applying to the
graduate program leading to the degree Master of Laws
in Taxation must submit satisfactory scores on the Law
School Admissions Test (LSAT).
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
All international students seeking admission to the
Graduate School are required to submit satisfactory
scores on the GRE Aptitude Test and on the TOEFL (Test
of English as a Foreign Language) with the following
exceptions:
1. International students whose native tongue is
English or who have studied at a United States college
or university for one year or more need not submit
TOEFL scores but must submit satisfactory scores on the
Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record Examination be-
fore their applications for admission can be considered.
2. Students educated in countries other than the
United States where the GRE is not available who apply
for admission while residing outside the United States
may be granted, at the discretion of the department, a
one semester postponement of the GRE but not the
TOEFL. Permission to register for subsequent semesters
will depend upon the submission of scores on the
Graduate Record Examination.
3. All international students applying for admission
to the Master of Business Administration program must
submit satisfactory scores from the Graduate Manage-
ment Admission Test before their application for admis-
sion will be considered.
International students, whose scores on the TOEFL
and verbal portion of the GRE are not indicative of
adequate writing skills, are required to write a short
essay for examination. If the skills demonstrated in the
essay are not acceptable for pursuing graduate work the
examination will be used as a diagnostic tool for place-
ment in appropriate courses which will not count to-
ward a graduate degree.
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 Service, 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. Students may be granted conditional admission
to defer final admission decisions until requisite exami-
nation scores or final grade records are available. Stu-
dents may also be granted conditional admission to
ascertain their ability to pursue graduate work at the
University of Florida if previous grade records or Grad-
uate Record Examination scores are on the borderlne of
acceptability or when specific prerequisite courses are
required.
Students granted conditional admission should be
notified by the department of the conditions under
which they are admitted. When these conditions have
been satisfied, the department must notify the student
in writing, sending a copy to the Graduate School.
Eligible coursework taken while a student is in condi-
tional 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 American Association of Dental Schools Applica-
tion Service (AADSAS) may be obtained after May 15
from the Office of Admissions, College of Dentistry,
University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, 32611. The
request card should be sent directly to the AADSAS,
RO. Box 1003, Iowa City Iowa 52240. Upon receiving
the application materials from the AADSAS, the com-
pleted 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
Admissions Committee from evaluating your record.
The data compiled by the AADSAS will be carefully
evaluated by the Dental Admissions Committee and
promising applicants will be sent formal application
forms which request additional information. The sub-
mission of a preprofessional committee evaluation or
letters of recommendation from people in academics
will not be necessary until the formal application 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 possess a high basic aptitude
supplemented by an academic preparation of the highest
order because of the vast area of science which must
be mastered by the dentist. The highly personal rela-
tionship 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 recruit-
ment program. The College strictly adheres to the prin-
ciple 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 degree requirements, provided
they show evidence of sufficient preparation for the
study of Dentistry. Applicants with an overall B average
as a minimum will receive strongest consideration for
admission to the College of Dentistry.
All applicants must take the Dental Admission Test,
preferably in the Spring preceding the submission of
their initial application or, at the latest, the Fall testing
period. The test is given twice a year at many college
and university testing centers. Following a review of all
application materials and Dental Admission Test scores
by the Dental Admissions Committee, interviews with
members of this Committee will be arranged for com-
petitive applicants.
(See also more detailed description in the College
of Dentistry 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 College of Law must have received a baccalaureate
degree from a regionally accredited college or universi-
ty and achieved a satisfactory score on the Law School
Admission Test.
The minimum acceptable score on the Law School
Admission 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 Admis-
sion Test Score must be to qualify for admission. All
applicants (including present and former University of
Florida students) must register with the Law School
Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) in lieu of requesting
transcripts from each institution of higher education
attended. For more detailed information on admission
to the College of Law, please see the College of Law
catalog.
Advanced Standing Students: For information on
admission to the College of Law with advanced stand-
ing 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 candidates make application as early
as possible during the Summer or Fall of the year
preceding their intended date of entry.
Personal qualities of high order--character, respon-
sibility, and maturity-are the primary requirements for
admission. The student must have demonstrated superi-
or intellectual achievement. A Bachelor's degree is
strongly recommended. The quality 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. Eficient
methods of study and effective powers of reasoning are
essential.
A limited number of out-of-state'students, in pro-
portion to the number in the University as a whole,
ADMISSIONS
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 en-
rolled in another medical school will be considered
provided (1) students are eligible to continue in their
present medical school, (2) the school they are now
attending is a member of the Association of American
Medical Colleges, and (3) space is available.
Prospective applicants must take the Medical Col-
lege Admissions Test, preferably by the Spring preced-
ing the submission of the application. A personal inter-
view 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.
(See also more detailed description in the College
of Medicine catalog.)
ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE
OF VETERINARY MEDICINE
When to Apply: Application forms are available
between September 1 and December 1 from the Office
of the Dean for Student Services, College of Veterinary
Medicine. The application package (residency status,
application forms, fees, letters of recommendation, GRE
scores, etc.) must be received by the Admissions Office
by 4:30 PM., December 15, for the applicant to be
considered for admission.
Candidates seeking admission to programs leading
to the Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy
degree with emphasis on animal disease problems should
apply through the Graduate 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 Committee. Applications cannot be consid-
ered if they are received after the dates specified in the
University Calendar; and it would be desirable for
persons considering application as special students to
initiate such applications at least three months in ad-
vance of the term they wish 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 University Admissions Committee. Each
case will be considered on an individual basis. Appli-
cations for admission as a special student must include:
(1) records of previous educational experience (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 pur-
sue 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 facili-
ties, a regular undergraduate student in good standing
at another accredited collegiate institution may be per-
mitted to enroll at the University of Florida as a tran-
sient 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 student's re-
sponsibility 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 requested from the Admissions Sec-
tion, Office of the Registrar. Since registration is subject
to the availability of space, approval 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 auto-
matically applicable to a University of Florida degree
should the student later be admitted in a regular status.
Admission as a NONDEGREE student in no way implies
future admission as a regular student to the University
of Florida.
ADMISSION INFORMATION

English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
1. International students whose native tongue is
English or who have studied at a United States

and from many private organizations such as the Insti-
tute of International Education (IIE), the American Friends
of the Middle East (AFME), African American Institute
(AAI), and the American-Korean Foundation. Candi-

Each application for admission must be accompa-
nied by a nonrefundable application fee of $15 (U.S.

in the United States to submit the fee in your behalf.
ACADEMIC RECORDS
Consideration of an application for admission can-
not be given until ALL required credentials as indicated
in the section APPLYING FOR ADMISSION are re-
ceived by the Admissions Office. All documents must
be accompanied by certified English 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, Gaines-
ville, Florida 32611, U.S.A.
NOTICE OF ADMISSION
If a student's application for admission to the Uni-
* versity of Florida is approved, an official notice of
acceptance will be sent by the University. Admission is
for a SPECIFIC term. If a student is unable to enroll for
the term indicated in the notice of acceptance, the
ADMISSIONS
Admissions Office should be informed immediately. 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 defi-
nite 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 or her own risk. The
student's presence on campus will not influence the
decision on an application for admission. Because of
the limited resources available in terms of faculty,
staff, and physical facilities, only those international
students who submit superior academic records can
be approved for admission.
Expenses
APPLICATION FEE
Each application for admission to the University
must be accompanied by an application fee of $15.00.

CLASSIFICATION OF
STUDENTS-FLORIDA OR
NON-FLORIDA
(Section 6C-7.005, 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 qualifies for the
in-state tuition rate; a "nonresident for tuition
purposes" is a person who does not qualify for
the instate tuition rate.
(a) To be classified as a "resident for tuition
purposes," a person, or, if a dependent child,
the child's parent or parents, shall have estab-
lished 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
establish his or her presence, or, if a dependent
child, the presence of his or her parent or
parents, in the state for the purpose of maintaining
a bona fide domicile in accordance with the
provisions of Section 240.1201(2)(b), Florida
Statutes.
(b) With respect to a dependent child, the legal
residence of such individual's parent or parents
shall be prima facie evidence of the individual's
legal residence in accordance with the provi-
sions of Section 240.1201(4), Florida Statutes,
Prima facie evidence may be reinforced or re-
butted by evidence of residency, age, and the
general circumstances of the individual in ac-
cordance with the provisions of Rule 6C-7.005(2).
(c) In making domiciliary determinations relat-
ed to the classification of persons as residents or
nonresidents for tuition purposes, the domicile
of a married person, irrespective 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 becoming 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 tuition purposes solely by reason of
serving, or, if a dependent 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 resident for tuition purposes, but who,
while enrolled in an institution of higher educa-
tion in this state, loses resident tuition status
because the person, or, if a dependent child,
the parent or parents, establish domicile or
legal residence elsewhere, shall continue to
enjoy the in-state tuition rate for a statutory
grace period. This grace period shall be mea-
sured in accordance with the provisions of Sec-
tion 240.1201(8), Florida Statutes.
(g) The legal residence of a dependent child
whose parents are divorced, separated, or oth-
erwise living apart shall be deemed to be Flori-
da 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 depen-
dent pursuant to federal individual income tax
provisions.
(h) Any person who ceases to be enrolled at or
graduates from an institution of higher educa-
tion while classified as a resident for tuition
purposes and who subsequently abandons Flor-
ida domicile shall be permitted to reenroll at an
institution of higher education in this state as a
resident for tuition purposes in accordance with
the provisions of Section 240.1201(10), Florida
Statutes.
(i) A member of the Armed Forces on active
duty stationed in Florida, and the spouse and
dependents of such member, shall be classified
as residents for tuition purposes.
(j) Full-time instructional and administrative per-
sonnel employed by state public schools, com-
munity colleges, and institutions of higher edu-
cation, and the spouses and dependent children
of such individuals, shall be classified as resi-
dents for tuition purposes.
(2) An individual shall not be classified as a resi-
dent for tuition 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 determining
residence, the university shall require evidence
such as a voter registration, driver's license,
'automobile registration, location of bank ac-
count, rent receipts or any other relevant mate-
rials as evidence that the applicant has maintained
12 months residence immediately prior to qual-
ification. To determine if the student is a depen-
dent child, the university shall require evidence
such as copies of the aforementioned docu-
ments. In addition, the university may require a
notarized copy of the parent's IRS return. If a
nonresident wishes to qualify for resident tui-
tion status in accordance with Section (1)(d)
above, the applicant must present evidence of
the spouse's legal residence with certified cop-
ies of the aforementioned documents. "Resident
student" classification 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 ap-
proved by the United States Immigration and
Naturalization Service, or who hold an Immi-
gration and Naturalization Form 1-151, 1-551 or
a notice of an approved adjustment of status
application, or Cuban Nationals or Vietnamese
Refugees or other refugees or asylees so desig-
nated by the United States Immigration and
Naturalization Service who are considered as
Resident Aliens, or other legal aliens, provided
such students meet the residence requirements
stated above and comply 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
purposes" registration rates is on the applicant
for such classification.
-(3) In applying this policy:
(a) "Student" shall mean a person admitted to
the institution, 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 when-
ever the person is absent the person has the
intention of returning.
(c) "Parent" shall mean an individual's father
or mother, or if there is a court appointed
guardian or legal custodian 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 Revenue Code of 1954.
(4) In all applicants for admission or registration at
the institution 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 application a
written statement, under oath, that the appli-
cant is a bona fide resident and domiciliary of
the state of Florida, entitled as such to classifi-
cation as a "resident for tuition purposes'" un-
der the terms and conditions prescribed for
residents and domiciliaries of the State of Flori-
da. All claims to "resident for tuition purposes"
classification must be supported by evidence as
stated in 6C-7.005(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 resi-
dent, rather than for the purpose of maintaining
a mere temporary residence of abode incident
to enrollment in an institution for higher educa-
tion, may apply for and be granted classifica-
tion as-a "resident for tuition purposes;" pro-
vided, however, that those students who are
nonresident aliens or who are in the United
States on a nonimmigration visa will not be
entitled to'reclassification. An application for
reclassification as a "resident for tuition pur-
poses" 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 enrollment shall furnish evi-
dence as stated in 6C-7.005(1) to the satisfac-
tion of the registering authority that the appli-
cant has maintained residency in the state for
the twelve months immediately prior to qualifi-
cation required to establish 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 accompa-
nied 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 documenta-
tion 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 tuition purposes" status to applicant therefore
may be initiated after appropriate administrative
remedies are exhausted by the filing of a peti-
tion for review pursuant to Section 120.68 Flori-
da Statutes.
(7) Any student granted status as a "resident for
tuition purposes," which status is based on a
sworn statement which is false shall, upon de-
termination of such falsity, be subject to such
disciplinary sanctions as may be imposed by
the president of the university.

the appropriate office as follows:

log, or the dates shown on statements sent those partic-
ipating in advance registration, and are processed by
the University Cashier at Student Financial Services, the
Hub. Checks, cashier's checks, and money orders writ-
ten in excess of the assessed fees will be processed and

paying fees or a parents' card with student's signature.

tification to the Head Cashier at Student Financial

In collecting fees, the University may impose addi-
tional requirements as deemed appropriate, including
advance payment or security deposit for the services to
be provided by the University of Florida.
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 circumstances 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 published deadlines.
Reinstatement shall require the approval of the
University and payment of all delinquent liabilities
including the late registration or late payment fees as
applicable by cash, cashier's check, or money order. A
student whose registration has been cancelled must
request a reinstatement letter at Student Financial Ser-
vice, the Hub. To expedite reinstatement the student
must deliver the letter to Registrar Records, 34 Tigert
Hall, Station 2.
In the event a student has not paid the entire
Balance of his/her fee liability by the published dead-
lines, the University shall temporarily suspend further
academic progress of the student. This will be accom-
plished by flagging the student's record which will
prevent the student from receiving grades, transcripts 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 stu-
dent must request 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 payment deadline without being subject to either

tion from students in the following circumstances:

tance is delayed due to circumstances beyond the

benefits under 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

STUDENT HOUSING
The University of Florida offers resident students a
unique and exciting residence hall program. Living on
campus is a profitable educational experience that stu-
dents will long remember. 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 popula-
tion of both in-state and out-of-state students, as well as
students from 100 different foreign countries. Since
students come from differing 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 residence
hall program. Therefore, the Division of Housing has
developed a program based upon alternatives and
choices. Students may select from various housing ac-
commodations and environments that best fit their needs.
GENERAL INFORMATION
All freshmen who are 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 require-
ment 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 Se-
mester on-campus housing. Entering students are free
to choose either on-campus or off-campus accommo-
dations. Students who voluntarily contract for on-campus
housing 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 enrollment for residence is
defined as being enrolled in 12 credit hours if an
undergraduate and 9 credit hours if a graduate student.
All students other than beginning freshman must
initiate their own arrangements for housing either by (1)
applying to: Assignments Office, Division of Housing,
University of Florida, Gainesville, Fl 32611, or (2)
obtaining accommodations in private housing. (See
Off-Campus Housing later in this section.)
All correspondence concerning application for Uni-
versity housing should be addressed to the Division of
Housing, Assignments Office, University of Florida,
Gainesville, Florida 32611. An application for resi-
dence hall space for students other than beginning
freshmen may be filed nine months prior to the semes-
ter or summer term for which admission is being sought.
Prospective students are urged to apply as early as
possible 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 indi-
viduals wishing to room together submit their Housing
Agreements clearly indicating their desire to room to-
gether and elect the same visitation choice and assign-
ment options.
Disabled students are also offered housing on a
first-come, first-served, space-available basis. Accessi-
ble housing is available for disabled students once they
are offered housing. Students 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, accommodating 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 Murphree. 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
conditioning, 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 small two-bedroom apartments are fully
contained with their own bedroom, study, kitchen, and
two separate bedrooms for four students. Each apart-
ment is carpeted, air-conditioned, and has a telephone
jack.
The Murphee Residential Area offers many suites
for two students. Each suite is made up of two rooms-
one designed as a study and living area, the other as a
bedroom with a lavatory The majority of rooms in this
area are nonair-conditioned. However, Sledd and Fletch-
er Halls, which comprise approximately one-third of
the area are newly renovated, air-conditioned facilities.
THE RESIDENCE HALL STAFF
AND STUDENT GOVERNMENT
A full complement of professional and parapro-
fessional staff members is available to assist students in
becoming a part of campus life. The staff in residence
act as referral agents in acquainting students with the
many resources of the University. Staff is also involved
in a range of activities, from initiating social and intra-
mural athletic programs to supplementing the various
academic and developmental programs. In addition,
staff supervise and enforce policies designed to create
an atmosphere conducive to learning and growth.
Each floor or section is supervised by an undergrad-
uate Resident Assistant, the RA. Working in close con-
junction with the RA is a graduate Hall Director or
professional Resident Director who coordinates the area
activities and ensures, through the RAs, an environment
for learning. The Assistant Director of Housing for
Residence Life is a professional staff member who is
responsible for the overall administrative and educational
functions within the residence area. The entire housing
staff is committed to serving students in the most effective
STUDENT AFFAIRS
and responsible way possible. Students are why the staff
exists, and their development is the primary goal.
INTER RESIDENCE HALL ASSOCIATION
All students in the residence halls are encouraged
to participate 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 partici-
pation. IRHA represents the collective interests of all
resident students. This organization also serves as a
channel of communication between residence area gov-
ernment councils, The University community and oth-
er outside interests. This self-government program at
both the hall and area levels offers residents the oppor-
tunity 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: A telephone jack is located in each
student room except in Buckman Co-op. Students need
to provide their own telephones. Each 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 College and University Systems (ACUS),
the University approved long distance service, is avail-
able on a voluntary basis to students and can operate
from any 395-phone. Long distance operator-assisted
calls can also be made by students who possess tele-
phone charge card numbers or who wish to call col-
lect. ACUS will bill students directly each month for
long distance charges.
FOOD SERVICE: Although meals are not included
in the housing rent payment, a food service program is
available on campus. Gator Dining Service, a division
of Service America, maintains cafeterias and snack bars
on campus and offers meal plans. Broward Hall and
Johnson Hall have cafeterias. Snack bars are located in
Tolbert Hall, Graham Hall, and Hume Hall. Cafeterias
are also located in the Reitz Student Union and the
Medical Center. It is the policy of the University to
provide well-prepared food at the lowest possible price.
For further information, please contact the Gator Din-
ing Service Office, 110 Johnson Hall.
REFRIGERATOR RENTAL: The cost of refrigerators
is not included in the room rent (except Beaty Towers,
apartments, and selected suites for four). Students may
bring their own refrigerators; however, in most cases, it
is best to make arrangements for a refrigerator after
arriving on campus when roommates can share the cost
and decide on available space in the room. Refrigera-
tors may be 14.2 cubic feet or less. Upon check-in,
residents may opt to rent a refrigerator. Collegiate Prod-.
ucts Incorporated (CPI), a privately-owned rental com-
pany and authorized University vendor, will rent refrig-
erators to on-campus residents.
CUSTODIAL SERVICE: All the residence halls (ex-
cept the Co-ops) have a staff of experienced custodians
assigned to do general cleaning of public areas, bath-
rooms, lounges, and hallways. Other specific tasks are
done in order to maintain good housekeeping through-
out the halls. Individual room cleaning is the responsi-
bility of each resident.
INTERNAL SECURITY: Residence hall security is
monitored by the residence hall staff; external building
security generally is the responsibility of the University
Police Department. Division of Housing Security Assistants
patrol the areas immediately adjacent to the residence
halls from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. when classes are in
session.
VENDING: Various vending machines are con-
veniently located in all residence halls for the comfort
and pleasure of students desiring such services.
LAUNDRY FACILITIES: Coin-operated washers and
dryers are provided in each residence area. Most stu-
dents provide their own irons; however, there are some
area student government irons provided for check-out.
Please be aware that University does not provide linen
service.
CABLE TV: A residence hall closed cable televi-
sion system service is provided to each resident's room.
Charges for this service are included in each resident's
rental payment.
SPECIAL HOUSING AREAS
QUIET FLOORS: Students wishing to live on a
"Quiet Floor" should request Tolbert Area (male and
female spaces) or Hume Hall (male spaces). These
spaces are reserved for residents who value an environ-
ment that is more noise restrictive. Students who re-
quest and are assigned to a quiet floor are required 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 other continuing students to participate
in an accelerated academic program. Special forms
available from the Admissions Office must be complet-
ed and returned in order to be assigned to East Hall.

cations, Admissions Office, University of Florida,
Gainesville, Florida 32611 (904) 392-1365.

class rank if they have an established 3.0 grade point

must furnish connecting cables, plugs, adapters, etc.
Two university terminals and a printer will be provided
in the first floor library for residents who do not have
their own terminals or microcomputers.

STUDENT FINANCIAL AFFAIRS
The Officer for Student Financial Affairs (SFA) coor-
dinates and administers most student financial aid pro-
grams at the University of Florida and provides finan-
cial 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 individual students can pay toward these
costs. A national needs analysis service, the College
Scholarship Service in Princeton, New Jersey evaluates
financial need for UF students from information 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" pro-
grams include loans and employment and are so named
because students must repay loans and must work for
money awarded through employment programs. Awards
to students consist of scholarships, grants, loans and
work, singly or as a package.
STUDENT AFFAIRS
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. Students
are considered for aid according to the date their aid
file becomes complete (all required application data
received) at Student Financial Affairs. Most campus-
based money is awarded early, so to be considered for
this assistance students should apply as soon as possible
after January 1. A few programs such as the Pell Grant
program, Guaranteed Student Loans, and OPS employ-
ment are open for application throughout the year (see
Important Deadlines below).
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 admit-
ted to apply for aid but should apply as soon as possible
after January 1.
How To Apply
Financial aid applications are not sent to students
automatically when they apply for admission. For ap-
plications and detailed procedures for applying, write
to University of Florida, Office for Student Financial
Affairs, Anderson Hall, Gainesville, Florida 32611, or
call (904) 392-1275. Applications are also available
from most Florida community colleges and high school
guidance offices.
Students must complete and submit a University of
Florida Application for Financial Aid to the Office for
Student Financial Affairs and either a College Scholar-
ship Service (CSS) Financial Aid Form (FAF) or an
American College Testing Service (ACTS) Family Finan-
cial Statement (FFS) to the processor at the address
indicated on the form. For your application to be
considered "on time," your financial data must reach
us from the processor no later than April 15, 1988. Be
sure to allow for at least two weeks processing time at
the needs analysis agency. Transfer students are also
responsible for a Financial Aid Transcript. When com-
pleting 1988-89 forms, students should provide accu-
rate financial figures, taken directly from completed
1987 income tax forms. To comply with federal finan-
cial aid requirements, the Office for Student Financial
Affairs must verify information students and parents
supply on their application forms. Incorrect information
or incorrectly completed application forms can cause
aid to be delayed or denied. Students should keep
copies of all their financial aid documents.
Important Deadlines
Financial aid applications should be completed and
sent to the appropriate processor as soon as possible
after January 1. April 15th, 1988, is the on-time dead-
line for us to receive your information from the needs
analysis agency (e.g., the College Scholarship Service).
Students who wish to be considered for campus-based
and institutional programs (such as College Work-Study,
National Direct Loans, Supplemental Educational Op-
portunity Grants, and University Loans) must be sure to
apply early, since these funds are limited. To be con-
sidered for a Florida Student Assistance Grant, students
must make sure that the needs analysis processor, CSS
OR ACTS, receives their Financial Aid Form by April
15. The deadline for applying for a Pell Grant for the
1988-89 academic year is May 1, 1989. Guaranteed
Student Loan on-time deadlines are set by semester. For
instance, the on-time deadline for applying for an
insured loan for Fall 1988 is May 20, 1988. Individual
colleges within the University 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 assistantships 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 possi-
ble. Of-campus jobs and the state-funded OPS job
program are not based on need and are available
through the Student 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
performance 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 Of-
fice of Admissions. Individual colleges within the Uni-
versity also offer scholarships to undergraduates. For
information on these, students should contact the dean
of their college. Many private donors also offer scholar-
ships, selecting the recipients) directly; students should
check with civic clubs, service organizations, private
corporations, and other resources in their home com-
munity.
GRANTS are awarded to undergraduate students
with financial 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 Student Assistance Grant.
Awards range from $200 to $2,000.
LOANS. At the University of Florida, undergraduate
students can apply for the following student loans:
Guaranteed Student Loans (GSL), University of Florida
Institutional Loans, Perkins Loans (NDL), and Supple-
mental Loans for Students (SLS). Parents of dependent
undergraduates can also take out educational loans for
their son or daughter through the Parents' Loans for
Undergraduate Students (PLUS). These programs offer
long-term, low interest loans that must be repaid when
the borrower graduates, withdraws, or drops to less
than half-time enrollment.
These loans range from $100 to $7,500 an academic
year at interest rates from 5% to 12% annually. The
actual amount of each loan except for SLS and PLUS is
based on financial need as determined from informa-
tion the borrower provides on the FAF or FFS.
The University also has a Short Term Loan program
to help students meet temporary financial needs related
to educational expenses. Students may borrow up to
$200 or the amount of in-state tuition if they have an
acceptable repayment source. Interest is 1% per month
and these loans must be repaid by the first day of the
last month in the semester in which the money is
borrowed. The Short Term Loan office is in room 8,
Anderson Hall.
PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT through the University
is offered to about 6,000 students each year. In addi-
tion, many students work off-campus in the Gainesville
community. Students normally 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 room 20
Anderson Hall is a clearing-house for part-time employ-
ment and coordinates three employment programs: the
College Work-Study Program, Other Personnel Services
(OPS), and Of-Campus Jobs. College Work-Study is a
federal program based on need which is awarded to
students as part of their overall financial aid package.
OPS jobs are state-funded and are not based on need
unless the employee is receiving other financial aid.
Student Employment maintains job bulletin boards for
all three programs at the following locations: Anderson
Hall basement, Tigert Hall basement, McCarty Hall first
floor, Norman Hall first floor, and the J. Wayne Reitz
Union Student Government bulletin board. The Anderson
Hall job board is updated daily and weekly updates are
posted at the other locations.

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 between 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
disposition of UF students to accept responsibility
commensurate with the resources at its disposal to
fulfill its mission, including the allocation of approxi-
mately 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 educational growth and develop-
ment of the individual student.
Student Government is a body politic, occupying
its franchise under grant from the Board of Regents and
subject to its continued approval. Student Government
is patterned on the state and national form of govern-
ment 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 em-
bodied in the President and the Treasurer of the Student
Body. Members of all three branches are elected direct-
ly 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, lobby-
ing, 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
representative selected from the colleges and living
areas on the campus and, in general, acts as the
Legislative Branch of Student Government.
Religious Activities: The University of Florida wel-
comes the contributions of religious traditions to the
campus community. The churches, centers, and organi-
zations associated with the University ofer a rich varie-
ty of programs and ministries. There are also interde-
nominational and non-denominational activities fostered
by the Department of Religion and the Campus Minis-
tries Cooperative.
Social Fraternities: Thirty-one national social fra-
ternities 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 fraternities at the Universi-
ty of Florida are Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha Gamma Rho,
Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta Pi, Chi

Eighteen women's sororities have established chap-
ters at the University. Fifteen have built chapter houses
and four live in other housing arrangements. These
living quarters serve as the center of the activities of the
individual sororities. Primary jurisdiction in sorority
matters is vested in the Panhellenic Council. The chap-
ters 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,

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 following statement as part of
the admissions process.
"I understand that the University of Florida expects
its students to be honest in all of their academic work. I
agree to adhere to this commitment to academic hones-
ty, 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.

tion or suspension, depending upon the gravity of the
offense. Such probation or suspension will be deter-
mined and activated by the Director of Student Judicial
Affairs and will remain in force until such time as the

mary judicial body and the hearing is held. The student

probation or suspended prior to making a decision to
postpone the hearing.

may make a determination of fact and take appropriate
action concerning the alleged violation.

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 Judicial
Affairs may require a hearing to be held before the
chairperson of the Committee on Student Conduct or
the chairperson's designated representative rather than

violation of the terms of such probation or of
the Student Conduct Code which includes the
Academic Honesty Guidelines prior to the com-
pletion of the probation period, he/she may
receive expulsion or any other lesser penalty.

conditions or penalty(ies) imposed for the vio-
lation shall be in proportion to the seriousness

dent Conduct Standards Committee or imposed by the
Director of Student Judicial Affairs can be appealed 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 five 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 disciplin-
ary 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 completed. 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.

Sports Clubs
The Sports club program provides structured, com-
petitive athletic opportunities between different institu-
tions in nonvarsity sports. The program offers instruc-
tion, recreation, and competition in approximately 43
different clubs. Individual sports clubs who represent
the University of Florida will be assisted by the Sports
Club Council in becoming organized, utilizing facili-
ties, checking out equipment, and general resources for
participation purposes.

4. 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).
5. Communication-Computation Requirement: Begin-
ning with the 1983 Spring Term all students who enter
college for the first time must complete, 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,
Humanities, and Social Sciences General Education
,courses which are listed under Authorized Courses for
General Education and which are marked with an
asterisk. College 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 mathe-
matics, at the level of college algebra or above. The
other 3 hours rr i, be in mathematics, statistics, or
appropriate courses in computer information sciences.
This requirement can be met by completing the Gener-
al Education requirement in mathematical sciences.
The Communication-Computation coursework must be
satisfactorily completed prior to earning 60 hours credit.
6. Summer Term Enrollment: All students entering a
university in the State University System with less than
60 hours credit shall be required to earn at least 9
credit hours prior to graduation by attendance at one or
more summer terms. University presidents may waive
the application of this rule in cases of unusual hardship
to the individual.
7. Continuous Attendance: When a student's atten-
dance is continuous, graduation according to the cur-
riculum under which he or she entered is permitted,
provided the courses required are offered by the Uni-
versity. If some or all of the required courses are no
longer offered, the faculty of the collegeconcerned will
make such adjustments for the individual students as
are appropriate for the curriculum involved. As long as
students attend the University as much as one semester
(not including summer terms) during any calendar year,
their residence is continuous.
8. Time Limit: To receive a degree candidates must
have completed: (a) all residence work required for
graduation at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled
meeting of the College Faculty voting on the candidates
for degrees; (b) all extension work at least two weeks
prior to the scheduled meeting of the College Faculty
voting on the candidates for degrees.
9. Extension Work Permitted: (Note: Extension work
as used below refers to both extension classes and
correspondence study.)
a. Students may take a maximum of 12 credits of
extension work during any academic year.
b. Students may not take more than 9 credits of
extension work during a semester.
c. The amount of extension work which students
may apply toward degree requirements may not
exceed one-fourth of the amount required for the
degree. For additional or unique restrictions on
extension work allowed toward a degree, students
should refer to the appropriate section of this cata-
log or consult with the dean of the college concerned.
d. Students may not take, by extension work, more
than 12 of the last 36 credits necessary for a
baccalaureate degree.
e. Simultaneous registration in on-campus and ex-
tension work is permitted provided that approval
has been obtained from the dean of the college in
which the student is registered.
10. Repeat Coursework: Credit will not be allowed on
repeated coursework if the course that is repeated
contains essentially the same course content as it did
when the student initially enrolled for the course. In
addition, students who have taken work at an advanced
level cannot receive credit for work taken subsequently
at a lower level.
11. Registration of Graduate Students: Students must
be registered in the University for the term in which the
candidate's final examination is given and at the time
they receive a degree.
1,2. Application for Degree: Students expecting to gradu-
ate must file an application for the degree in the
Registrar's Office on or before the date indicated in the
current University Calendar. Students must apply in
the semester in which they expect to graduate, regard-
less of previous applications in previous semesters.
13. Recommendation of the Faculty of the College
Awarding the Degree.
14. Certification by the Dean of the College offering
the course of study that all requirements have been
completed and that the student was recommended by
the faculty of said college.
15. Two Degrees: Two degrees of the same rank, e.g.,
B.A. and B.S., may be conferred upon the same indi-
vidual provided that the second degree represents at
least 30 credits of additional work, with the necessary
qualitative and residence requirements.
16. Time-Shortened Degree Opportunities: A variety of
programs is offered by the University of Florida which
may enable students to shorten the length of the time
necessary for them to complete their degree require-
ments. These opportunities include several credit by
examination programs, and other options. For specific
information, refer to the section Time-Shortened De-
gree Opportunities. Also refer to the college sections
for additional information.
17. Pending Charge of Academic Dishonesty or Code
of Student Conduct Violation: No degree will be con-
ferred upon a student against whom there is pending an
unresolved charge of either Academic Dishonesty or
Code of Student Conduct violation where the penalty
for such violation would likely be:
a. Suspension
b. Expulsion
c. Failing Grade
d. Any combination of the above
until such time as the charge is resolved and degree
requirements are met.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
LOAD
Some colleges have a maximum load which is
stated in the catalog. In the absence of such a state-
ment, the general University regulation applies. This
regulation allows a maximum load of 15 credits for a
student who earned an average below a C the preced-
ing 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 extension work at another college or university is
counted in computing the maximum but not the mini-
mum 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 success-
fully petitions the college in which he or she is en-
rolled. The minimum load for fulltime benefits from the
Veterans Administration or Social Security is 12 hours
per semester for undergraduate students.
STUDENT ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
DUAL ENROLLMENT
1. Definition: Dual Enrollment, as used in this
regulation, refers 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 Enrollment 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
following conditions:
a. Approval in writing for the dual enrollment must
have been secured by the student from the appro-
priate official at EACH institution. A copy of such
approval must be furnished at the time of registra-
tion to the Registrar at the University of Florida.
b. Students 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 applied if courses are avail-
able at the parent institution which might be evalu-
ated as equivalent or acceptable substitutes for the
University 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 Florida will be given to regularly enrolled students.
d. Students taking courses at the University of Flor-
ida will be required to register and attend classes
under the University of Florida calendar.
e. Students will pay appropriate fees at the Univer-
sity of Florida based on the number of credits for
which they are registered at this institution.
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that an
official transcript of work completed under a dual regis-
tration is forwarded to the parent institution. Certifica-
tion to Social Security and Veterans 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 Florida 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 Regis-
trar's Office 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-Incom-
plete, U-Unsatisfactory, 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 a regular grade 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, student
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 period and prior to the date for assigning a
WF grade. The W symbol is an official notation of an
action taken in a course and will appear on the stu-
dent's transcript.
The degree-granting college may require a mini-
mum grade of C in a particular course or courses.
2. Graduate Students: Passing grades for graduate stu-
dents 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 requirement. C+ and C grades in
5000-level courses and above count toward a graduate
degree only if an equal number of credits in courses
numbered 5000 or above have been earned with grades
of B+ and A, respectively.
SATISFACTORY-UNSATISFACTORY GRADE OPTION
It is the University's desire to allow students to
receive as broad an education as possible. Therefore,
students are encouraged to take courses in disciplines
in which they may not have the proper background.
They may take such coursework as electives and re-
ceive a grade of S-Satisfactory or U-Unsatisfactory.
These grades become a part of a student's record but
do not count in the grade point average as computed
by the University of Florida. NOTE: Other agencies or
institutions might count the grade of U as a failing
grade in their grade point average 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 of the drop-add period as published in the calen-
dar. In addition, students who elect the S-U option may
subsequently request that their instructors assign a stan-
dard grade, but the converse is not permitted.
AVERAGES
1. Definitions: The term "average," as used in any
university regulations concerning probation or sus-
pension, always refers to the average on work
attempted at the University of Florida. Grades re-
ceived at other institutions are not averaged with
grades received at the University of Florida for the
purpose of meeting any University average require-
ment. Most honorary societies take into consider-
ation the quality of the work done at other institu-
tions in meeting any average requirements they
may have.
2. How computed: Averages are determined by
computing the ratio of grade points to semester
hours recorded as attempted. Grade points are
established by equating each semester hour as fol-
lows: A with 4.0, B+ with 3.5, B with 3.0, C+
with 2.5, C with 2.0, D+ with 1.5, D with 1.0,
and E, WE I and X with 0.0. In computing aver-
ages, a course repeated is counted as many times
as grades for it are recorded; an exception occurs,
however, when a student earns a grade of C or
higher in a course, repeats the course, and earns a C
or higher. The second grade will not be computed
in the University of Florida grade point average. If
the second grade earned is lower than C, it will be
used in computing 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 av-
erages will be based on their overall work at the
University of Florida. That is, when students are
admitted to the University of Florida their grade
point averages begin and their academic averages
will be based upon work taken at the University of
Florida. While work transferred from other institu-
tions toward 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 is responsible for provid-
ing the best possible education in an economical and
efficient manner. In order to discharge this responsibili-
ty, the University expects and requires reasonable
academic progress from its students. Continuation of
students who have demonstrated a lack of the neces-
sary ability, preparation, industry or maturity to benefit
reasonably from a program of university study is incon-
sistent with the University's responsibility as a tax
supported institution.
The University of Florida Senate has enacted regu-
lations covering 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 mainte-
nance of grade point averages consistent with a reason-
able chance of satisfactory completion of the University
programs and reasonable conformance to the catalog
description of the program of study in which the student
is engaged. Any college of the University may specify
additional academic.standards and students are respon-
sible for observing the regulations 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 ultimately to graduate; (2) recognize unsatis-
factory work at an early date; (3) be sufficiently signifi-
cant to make clear to the student, and the administra-
tion, the shortcomings of the student's performance; (4)
provide occasion for counseling; (5) give students whose
ultimate success is in question further opportunity to
demonstrate adequate performance.
All Undergraduate Students:
Students with less than a 2.0 grade point average
overall for University of Florida work shall be placed on
scholarship warning if they have a grade point deficit
which is less than 10.
Students with less than a 2.0 grade point average
overall for University of Florida work shall be placed on
scholarship probation if they have a grade point deficit
of 10 or more, but less than 20.
Any students who are eligible to return to the
University after a suspension because of academic rea-
sons will be placed on final scholarship probation for
their 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. Total grade points. Divide total grade points by
total hours. *Satisfactory-Unsatisfactory (S-U) option
courses do not figure into hours or grade points.
Sample:
Course
AML 2020
PSY 2013
SPN 1110
PSC 1420
23.5 divided
Grade Grade
Grade Value flrs. Points
B+ 3.5 X 3 10.5
S* NA X e* NA
C 2.0 X 5 10.0
D 1.0 X 3 3.0
11 23.5
d 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, if
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 E, 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.
CONTINUATION OF
PROBATION
All Undergraduate Students:
Students' scholarship warnings shall be continued
as long as they have a grade point deficit of more than
0, but less than 10. Students' scholarship probations
shall be continued as long as they have a grade point
deficit of 10 but less than 20. If the grade point deficit
places them in another probation category, the students
shall be subject to the provisions of that category.
REMOVAL OF PROBATION
All Undergraduate Students:
Scholarship probation or scholarship warning will
be removed when a student's grade point deficit has
been reduced to zero.
Removal of College Probation:
Students will be removed from college probation
when it is deemed by their college that the students are
making satisfactory academic progress in the program
of study in which they are engaged.
SUSPENSION
The purpose of suspension from the University for
academic reasons is to remove from the University
community any students who would not ultimately
meet requirements for graduation if they continue at
their current level of progress.
The conditions of academic suspensions are intended
to (1) identify any students whose performance indicates
that they 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:
Students with a grade point deficit of 20 or more in
their University of Florida work shall be suspended
from the University for one semester.
Students reenrolling after a one semester suspen-
sion will be on final scholarship probation. If the grade
point deficit is 20 or more at the end of the term the
students re-enroll, they 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 conduct) 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 graduate from an
accredited Florida community college may appeal to
the Petitions Committee for reinstatement. 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 accordance with other rules and regulations of the
University of Florida.
STUDENT ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
COLLEGE LEVEL ACADEMIC
SKILLS TEST
AND COMMUNICATION-
COMPUTATION
REQUIREMENT
The State of Florida has developed a test of college-
level communication and computation skills. The test is
called the College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST).
The CLAST is designed to test the communication
and computation skills that are judged by state universi-
ty and community .college faculty to be generally
associated with successful performance and progres-
sion through the baccalaureate level. The test is re-
quired by Florida statutes and rules of the State Board
of Education.
The CLAST is administered three times a year to
university students as well as to community college
students who are completing either Associate of Arts
degree programs or Associate of Science degree pro-
grams and are seeking admission to upper division
programs in state universities in Florida. Students who
do not satisfactorily complete the test will not be awarded
the Associate of Arts nor will they be admitted to upper
division status in state universities in Florida. The CLAST
requirements also apply to students transferring to state
universities in Florida from private colleges in Florida
and from out-of-state colleges.
The Office of Instructional Resources located at
1012 Turlington Hall, University of Florida, Gainesville,
Florida, 32611, phone (904) 392-1715, can tell you
how and when to apply to take the CLAST.
The Academic Advisement Center located at 358
Little Hall, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida,
32611, phone (904) 392-1521, can provide you with a
list of CLAST skills and can tell you where the commu-
nication and computation skills are taught in the
curriculum.
In addition to the CLAST the State Board of Educa-
tion requires 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 mathematics require-
ment may be fulfilled by approved courses in Statistics
or Computer and Information Sciences. Specific courses
to meet the Communication-Computation requirement
can be found in the listing of Authorized Courses for
General Education.
EXCLUSION
Freshman and Sophomore Students:
Students classified UF who have attempted 80 se-
mester hours (this includes all work attempted at each
university or junior college previously attended and all
work attempted at the University of Florida) shall be
ineligible for further registration at the University unless
they apply for a change of classification and are formal-
ly admitted to a degree program. In addition, students
who do not take the CLAST or fulfill the Communication-
Computation Requirements by the time they have com-
pleted 60 semester hours are not eligible to be admitted
to the upper division.
All Undergraduate Students:
Students may be excluded from a program of study
by the College responsible for the program if the stu-
dents fail to maintain normal academic progress. Such
exclusion does not prohibit students from enrolling in
other programs or colleges if they meet the requirements.
Graduate Students:
Graduate students may be denied further registra-
tion in the University or in their graduate major when
the students' progress toward completion of their planned
graduate program becomes unsatisfactory. Unsatisfacto-
ry progress has been defined by the Graduate Council
to include failure to maintain a cumulative grade aver-
age 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 follow the appropriate petitions
process.
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 students withdraw after the deadline date published
in the University Calendar, they shall be assigned grades
of WF (withdrew failing) in all courses and will be
subject to the suspension and exclusion regulations.
Students on scholarship probation who withdraw
from the University prior to the final date published in
the calendar will be continued on scholarship proba-
tion for the next semester.
Students on University Senate Committee probation
must meet the terms of probation specified by the
committee.
ATTENDANCE, ABSENCES, OR
UNSATISFACTORY WORK
Students are responsible for satisfying the entire
range of academic 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.
Students who have not attended at least one of the
first two class meetings of a course or laboratory in
which they are registered and have 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 ccoise if the chair-
man deems his action necessary to provide space for
other students who wish to add the course. Students
dropped from courses or laboratories through the pro-
cedure will be notified by notice posted in the depart-
ment office. Such students may be reinstated in the
course or laboratory, on a space available basis if
documented evidence excusing the absences 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 students shall absent them-
selves 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 classwork is scheduled.)
The 12-day rule applies to individual members of
the group rather than to the group as a whole. Conse-
quently 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.
Students who have been warned for absences or
unsatisfactory work in any class should not incur addi-
tional absences in that course, even though they have
not been absent from the University for 12 scholastic
days. It is the responsibility of students to see that their
classwork and attendance are satisfactory.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY: Students themselves
remain fully responsible for satisfying the entire range
of academic objectives as they are defined by the
instructor in any course.
Under University policy students are not autho-
rized to attend class unless they are on the class roll or
have been approved to audit and have paid the audit
fees.
STUDENT ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS:
BOARD OF REGENTS
POLICY STATEMENT
Board of Regents policy regarding observance of
religious holidays follows:
1. Students shall, upon notifying their instructor, be
excused from class to observe a religious holy day
of their faith.
2. While students will be held responsible for ma-
terial covered in their 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 Uni-
versity activity shall be scheduled on a major reli-
gious 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 University of Florida urges faculty and administra-
tors not to schedule exams or major events on evenings
or days that will be observed as holy days by a signifi-
cant number of students. Students 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 regula-
tions that apply to undergraduate students also apply to
postbaccalaureate students.
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
Students will be classified by the Registrar each
semester as follows:
0. Special transient students, qualified high school stu-
dents, and other nondegree students who have been
permitted to register 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 semester hours or more will be classified as
5.
6. Postbaccalaureate students: Degree-holding students
who have been admitted to postbaccalaureate status
will be classified 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 de-
gree, or has earned 36 or more hours while seeking a
degree beyond the Master's degree (but has not been
admitted to doctoral candidacy), will be classified as 8.
9. A graduate student who has been admitted to doc-
toral candidacy will be classified as 9.
PETITIONS AND APPEALS
In case the operation of a student academic regula-
tion appears to result in an undue hardship on an
individual student, he or she may petition for waiver of
the regulation.
Petitions requesting permission to drop/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 student 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 before the action becomes official.
All other petitions should be presented to the Regis-
trar who will refer them to the University Senate Com-
mittee 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 Committee require any college or school
to grant a degree by waiving any of these 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 students at the end
of the term indicating their grades, cumulative hours
and grade points, probationary status, if any and de-
grees awarded, if any.
CONFIDENTIALITY OF
STUDENT RECORDS
The University of Florida assures the confidentiality
of student 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.
Information which can be released to the public on
any student is name; class, college, and major; dates of
attendance; degrees) earned; awards received; local
and permanent address, and telephone number.
In general, present or former students have the right
to personally review their own educational records.for
information and to determine the accuracy of these
records. Parents of dependent students, as defined by
the Internal Revenue Service, have these same rights. A
photo I.D. or other equivalent documentation or per-
sonal recognition by custodian of record will be re-
quired before access is granted.
AUDITING COURSES
Auditing may be approved on a space-available
basis. The approval of the instructor and dean is re-
quired, 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. Proce-
dures for auditing courses are available from the Regis-
trar's Office.
FIVE YEAR COURSE DELETION
RULE
Courses not taught for five years, or less if desired,
are to be deleted from the University Record Series
(University Course Catalog) in conformance with State
of Florida Department of Education rule 6A-10.0331.
Courses may be continued if reasonable cause-for the
course not to have been offered and an expectation that
it will be offered is justified to and approved by the
Office of Academic Affairs.
Time-Shortened Degree
Opportunities
The University of Florida provides numerous oppor-
tunities 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 superior students to be admitted to the Uni-
versity following completion of the Junior year in
high school. Applications are encouraged and will
be considered on an individual basis by the Admis-
sions Committee. For additional information, refer
to the Admissions section of the catalog.
2. Dual Enrollment: Dual Enrollment refers to a
student taking on-campus courses simultaneously
at both the University of Florida and another insti-
tution. 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 receive textbooks or other necessary course
materials on a lend-return basis.
Qualified high school students will be enrolled
as nondegree students and credits earned prior to
high school graduation may subsequently be ac-
cepted for advanced standing and degree-credit
when the student is admitted to the University.
For more information, high school students may
refer to: Student Academic Regulations (especially
the sections on Dual Enrollment, Nondegree Regis-
tration, 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 in a shorter period of time.
4. Year-Round Attendance: Students attending the
University every semester, including Summer ses-
sions, may advance their graduation day by as
much as two semesters.
5. Credit by Examination: A student may partici-
pate in a variety 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 duplicated by
another. The various credit by examination pro-
grams are explained below.
International Baccalaureate Program: The Universi-
ty 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.
A student who receives the I.B. diploma and has
three higher level examination results of 5, 6, or 7 will
be granted 30 semester hours of credit.
Advanced Placement Program: This credit by ex-
amination opportunity is sponsored by the College
Entrance Examination Board. Under this program, a
student entering the University offers a nationally grad-
ed examination as evidence of completion of a college
level course taken in high school. If the results of the
examination meet the minimum requirements listed
below, the student may receive University credit for
courses covering similar material.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP): The
College Level Examination Program is another type of
credit by examination opportunity sponsored by the
College Entrance Examination 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 gen-
eral examinations must meet the minimums established
by the State University System. In addition, students
who plan to apply for credit must do so before enroll-
ing 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 (agree-
ment between public community colleges and public
state universities on the acceptance of credit by trans-
fer), the University of Florida awards credit for CLEP
examinations based on the following scaled scores:
CLEP
General
Examination
*English Comp. with

Scale Score 489 6
Scale Score 497 6
*Students should seriously consider their decision
about taking 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 in-
cludes 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 program, both general and
subject examinations combined, is 45 semester hours
or 67.5 quarter hours. If English Subject Examinations
(Freshman English or English Composition) are taken, it
is mandatory 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 received 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 acceptable, is 6 semester
hours.
Department Examinations: Departments may at their
option, permit a student to receive credit through the
challenge of departmental course examinations. For
specific information, contact 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 college for entering freshmen and other students
with fewer than 64 credits, providing for their academic
advisement and their general education. It also pro-
vides advanced education leading toward degrees in a
variety of disciplinary and cross-disciplinary fields in
arts and sciences.
Entering freshmen are classified UE They retain this
classification up to but not beyond 80 attempted cred-
its. 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, students must complete a General Education
program. The Associate of Arts will only be awarded
at a time prior to the awarding of a bachelor's degree.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences awards the
Associate of Arts certificate for the University.
The Associate of Arts certificate will be awarded
upon satisfactory completion of:
1. 64 credits including authorized credits in Gen-
eral Education as indicated for the student's major
(At least 36 of the credits, including 20 hours of
General Education courses, must have been com-
pleted at the University of Florida.)
2. An overall C average
3. The College Level Academic Skills Test
4. Required Courses in Communication and Com-
putation Skills.
Application forms for the Associate of Arts certifi-
cate are available from the Office of the Registrar and
should be returned 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 earn-
ing 60 hours will be contingent upon students' making
passing scores on the tests.
Required Courses in
Communication
and Computation Skills
Students who entered college Spring 1 983 or later
must complete 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 designated English, Humanities, and
Social Sciences General Education courses which are
listed in the current Schedule of Courses. CLEP credit
cannot be used to satisfy the writing requirement. Any
student satisfying College-Level Examination Program
(CLEP) requirements in mathematics for post-admission
exemptions of coursework shall be allowed to exempt
three (3) hours of mathematics required by this rule. In
addition, 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 remaining three in acceptable courses
in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or PHI
2100. The courses acceptable for the requirement are
identical to those authorized for the General Educational
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 experience and for lifelong contribution
to society. The objective is to encourage all-around
development of students as individuals 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 mathemat-
ics as language.
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 meth-
od and the societal consequences of research as
exemplified by biological and physical sciences.
General Education Requirements
The General Education requirements include (a)
Basic Cultural Skills (English and Mathematics), (b)
Social and Behavioral Sciences, (c) Natural Sciences,
and (d) the Humanities. All students will take a mini-
mum of 39 semester hours of credit from lists of courses
especially constructed to provide intellectual 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 fulfilling their General Education re-
quirements even though they may be sampling courses
in specific majors or enrolling in required 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
descriptions in the back of the catalog, since course
titles alone give insufficient information. Freshmen and
sophomores are cautioned not to take courses for which
they may not be prepared. Where prerequisites are
stated, they must be adhered to. Students should con-
sult college and departmental advisers as to whether
particular General Education courses hereafter listed
may be used to satisfy college distribution and major
preprofessional requirements.
The Director of the Honors Program in the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences is authorized to approve
for each honors student up to 12 hours of freshman and
sophomore Honors Seminars IDH 2931 and IDH 3931
to meet General Education requirements in appropriate
General Education distribution areas.
AUTHORIZED COURSES FOR
GENERAL EDUCATION
The following courses have been approved by the
Council on General Education for use in satisfying
General Education requirements. 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 knowledge outside the
major and should broaden their intellectual horizons.
MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES
(Minimum' Credits Required)...............................6
Six (6) semester hours in Mathematical Sciences, at
least 3 hours of which shall be in Mathematics and the
balance of which shall be taken in either Mathematics,
Statistics, Computer and Information Sciences, or PHI
2100. The following courses may not be used to satisfy
the Mathematical Sciences requirements: MAE 3810,
MAE 3811, COC 3400 and CRM 4121.
The Computation Skills requirement is identical to
the General Education Mathematical Sciences require-
ment.

PLANS OF STUDY BY COLLEGE
OF MAJOR
Students are expected to follow the program of
General Education specified for their particular bacca-
laureate goal. In other words, the particulars of stu-
dents' 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
indicated.

ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT
Initial registration as a freshman for each Fall class
is conducted during the preceding summer months.
Students and their parents have an opportunity to at-
tend one of sixteen two-day programs. Notices con-
cerning this are mailed in the late Spring to those
students who have been admitted by the University
Admissions Office. At these Summer Registration Pro-
grams, students and parents attend sessions relating to
career choice, student activities, helping services, and
course selection. 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 registration period held in the week prior
to the beginning of classes in the Fall. Students entering
college in the Spring or Summer semesters also have
advisement conferences as part of the registration peri-
od 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 responsibility for fulfilling curricu-
la 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 reason-
able 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 business hours to help students define
any other academic problems and find corrective mea-
sures. Please come to the Academic Advisement Cen-
ter, 358 Little Hall.
HONORS PROGRAM
This is an invitational program for students who
have shown potential for superior academic perfor-
mance. Invitations are sent after admission to the Uni-
versity 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 Ameri-
can 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 hon-
ors classes and housing in an honors dormitory To
remain in the program, students must enroll in at least
one honors course each semester in the first two years
and maintain an overall grade point average of 3.0. All
honors students must take a two-semester Freshman
Honors Seminar and a two-semester sophomore inter-
disciplinary course as one of the required honors courses
each semester. Honors requirements are not in addition
to General 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 may enhance
their critical faculties through extensive reading, writing
of research papers, and oral presentations in class.
Students Who fulfill the requirements of the Honors
Program with a 3.0 overall average, satisfy the General
Education requirements, 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 soph-
omore year, the Honors Program becomes the responsi-
bility of the department in which the student pursues
the major course of study. The departmental honors
coordinator should be contacted for admission into the
upper-division honors program. The upper-division hon-
ors programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
lead to the baccalaureate degree with either honors or
high honors. On the basis of performance 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
graduate with honors or high honors.
LOWER DIVISION REQUIREMENTS
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 advisement 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 recruit-
ment services, the AERS office serves as a central
source of information pertaining to academic enrich-
ment services offered at the University of Florida. The
office coordinates and directs minority academic affairs
(i.e. admissions, advisement, drop petitions, prepro-
fessional 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 educationally disadvantaged students who qual-
ify for admission to the University of Florida assistance
in developing those academic skills needed for success-
ful academic and social progress at the University. The
supportive services offered or arranged for by these
programs include counseling, academic advisement,
tutoring, study skills, reading and writing labs, and
special classes. Peer counselors are assigned to stu-
dents to assist them in making the smooth transition to
the university environment.
While admission to the federally funded Special
Services Program is selective and only a limited num-
ber of students can participate, the State-supported
PACT serves all other incoming students who would
benefit from the academic assistance provided through
these programs.
Both of these programs work in close coordination
with other supportive services in the planning and
implementation of various programs designed to in-
crease 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 offices can be of assistance in solving
personal problems, career selection problems, or prob-
lems relating to deficiencies in academic skills. The
Student Affairs section of this catalog describes 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 Little Hall) provides professional psychological
services to students. These include vocational counsel-
ing, career information, assistance with academic prob-
lems, specialized testing, marriage counseling, and per-
sonal counseling. Students and students' spouses may
apply in person for such services as they deem neces-
sary. 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 purpose 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 education necessary to enter
the accounting profession and progress rapidly through
levels of increasing responsibility. The field of account-
ing offers outstanding opportunities in such areas 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 operations and the environment of business
as well as accounting knowledge. In addition to the
technical accounting skills, an ability to communicate
clearly in both verbal and written form is essential.
Interpersonal skills and professional judgment are im-
portant elements in the practice of accounting. Al-
though accounting is demanding and requires a high
achievement motivation in order to succeed, the re-
wards 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, application forms (available

wishes to waive an upper division core course
and substitute a community college course, waiv-
ers may be granted on an individual basis but
the student will be required to take another
course in the area being waived. The substitute
course will be specified by the Department Chair-
man of the area.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY: The student must as-
sume full responsibility for registering for the proper
courses and for fulfilling all requirements for the de-
gree. The student is also responsible 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 gradua-
tion 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 permitted to register for additional hours if in
the opinion of the academic adviser his or her academic
record justifies it. Students who wish to take a lower
course load should be aware that certain university
privileges and benefits require a minimum registration.
It is the student's responsibility to verify the minimum
registration necessary for these benefits.
RESIDENCE: The last 30 semester hours to be ap-
plied toward the degree must be completed in resi-
dence in the Fisher School. At least 20 semester hours
of upper-division accounting coursework required for
the B.S.Acc. degree must be completed at the Universi-
ty of Florida. Once a student enters the Fisher School,
no courses may be taken by correspondence nor may
required courses (in preprofessional, accounting, and
supporting fields) be taken outside the University of
Florida. No exceptions to 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 Assistant
Director.
SATISFACTORY-UNSATISFACTORY GRADE OPTION:
An undergraduate 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 require-
ments. Courses taken to satisfy communication require-
ments for the M.Acc. 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 remain in the Accounting program. More
than one grade below C in upper division accounting
coursework is considered unsatisfactory 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 Fisher School deadline. 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 academic 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 Summer term) is counted
as one drop for the purpose of applying the drop
policies. The Fisher School will exclude students
from the accounting program if the student with-
draws from the University 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 re-
quired for graduation including 60 semester hours in
upper division courses. The waiving of any required
course does not reduce the hours required for gradua-
tion. A student must maintain an overall average of 2.0
and a 2.0 average on all courses which count toward
his or her upper-division degree requirements. A 2.0
average must also be maintained for all upper-division
accounting courses. Courses that have been repeated
are included in these averages but do not carry degree
credit. However, if a course is repeated after an initial
grade of C or higher is earned, the repeat grade and
hours will not be computed in the UF grade point
average.

College of Agriculture
The aim of the College of Agriculture is to provide
students with the best education possible for service in
agricultural business, technology, and science.
The departments in the College are Agricultural and
Extension Education, Agricultural Engineering, Agricul-
tural Operations Management, Agronomy Animal Sci-
ence, 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 Sci-
ence, Soil Science, and Vegetable Crops. Degree pro-
grams 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 Agri-
culture encourage applications from qualified students
of both sexes from all cultural, racial, religious, and
ethnic groups. Listed below are the specific require-
ments for admission to this College. In the event enroll-
ment quotas become necessary because of limited space
or teaching resources, selection of those admitted will
be on the basis of past academic performance.
Lower Division Students
Any student with UF classification who has final-
ized 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
UF Students. To be eligible for admission to the
College of Agriculture upper division students must
have demonstrated by selection of preprofessional courses
an intent to pursue a program in agriculture.
Transfer Students. To be eligible for admission to
the College of Agriculture, a transfer student must
satisfy the minimum requirements set forth in the AD-
MISSIONS section of this catalog. Additionally, the
applicant should satisfy the following specific require-
ments for consideration by the College of Agriculture:
(1) Complete the Generral Education requirements
of the University of Florida as described in the Lower
Division Requirements section of this catalog; or, com-
plete an Associate of Arts degree.
(2) Complete the preprofessional requirements of
the College of Agriculture for the major field.
The following recommendations will serve as a
guide in expediting 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 University of Florida to develop a program
of study that will satisfy the above requirements.
Some general guidelines to be followed include:
1. Complete the two-year college parallel pro-
gram at the junior college.
2. Satisfy the General Education requirements
established for the junior college.
3. Complete a program of general chemistry
through qualitative analysis and mathematics
through college algebra and trigonometry.
4. Complete basic courses in biology or botany
and zoology.
5. Complete a course in general physics.
6. Choose elective courses in fulfilling the re-
quired total hours in the college-parallel pro-
gram from the areas of speech, English, and the
basic sciences.
7. Avoid specialized professional courses. Pre-
professional courses can be taken to much
better advantage after the student has acquired
the appropriate background in general educa-
tion and basic science courses.
Special Postbaccalaureate Students
A student who has received a baccalaureate degree
may be admitted under certain circumstances as a
special postbaccalaureate 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 Grad-
uate or Professional School; or
(4) Complete courses for information only.
Admission requirements for postbaccalaureate stu-
dents are the same as for transfer students. In addition,
postbaccalaureate students must comply with College
and University rules and regulations and meet all dead-
lines as printed in the catalog for undergraduate students.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY:-The student must as-
sume full responsibility for registering for the proper
courses and for fulfilling all requirements for the de-
gree. Each semester the student should consult with his
or her departmental adviser to plan a program of stud-
ies. 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
Registrar. Seniors must file a formal application for a
degree in the Office of the Registrar early in the semes-
ter in which they expect 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 permitted to register for additional
hours if, in the opinion of the academic adviser and the
Dean, the student's academic record justifies this. Stu-
dents 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
responsibility to verify the minimum course load for
these benefits.
RESIDENCE: The last 30 semester hours to be ap-
plied toward the degree must be completed in resi-
dence in the College of Agriculture. 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 undergraduate student in the College of Agriculture
may take on the S-U basis only those courses which
will be counted as electives in fulfilling the require-
ments 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 deadline 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
lAG or 2AG. Students classified as 3AG, 4AG,
6AG, and OAG are allowed one free drop. These
drops will be processed according to the student's
classification. Redords 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 peti-
tion 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 a second time,
that student will be placed on College probation. A
third withdrawal will constitute violation of the proba-
tion and the student will not be allowed to register
again as a student in the College of Agriculture.
AGRICULTURE: LOWER
DIVISION
Students planning to enter the College of Agricul-
ture should take, while in lower division, the following
program of study. The sequence in which courses are to
be taken will depend upon the department in which a
student takes his or her upper division major and will
be determined by departmental advisers in the College
of Agriculture.

CERTIFICATE IN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
A program for a specialization (with certificate) in
environmental studies is available in the College of
Agriculture. The program provides course selection to
obtain a broad knowledge of the environment, especially
in the interrelationships between the activities of man
and environmental quality. Students enrolled in one of
the existing major programs in the College of Agriculture
and this specialization will learn to apply their major
discipline to the solution of environmental problems.
The environmental studies specialization will in-
clude environmental courses in three basic groups as
follows: biological sciences, physical sciences, and
social sciences. At least one course from each of these
three groups is required. A minimum of 12 semester
hours credit is required for the certificate. Courses
required for the major cannot be counted toward the
certificate requirement. A minimum of three hours out-
side the College of Agriculture is required.
The courses required for this specialization will be
determined by the student in consultation with his/her
departmental adviser from an approved list of courses
prepared by the department, the College of Agriculture,
and the University. In most cases these requirements
may be met through a wise choice of electives. Stu-
dents interested in this minor should consult their de-
partmental adviser.

ENTOMOLOGY AND
NEMATOLOGY
Entomology and nematology are biological sciences
dealing with two principal groups of invertebrate ani-
mals. The curriculum is designed to give basic training
in entomology and nematology and specialized pro-
grams in various areas of these two sciences. Students
may follow a basic science or pest management curricu-
lum. Within the pest management program, specialized
emphasis may be given to areas like crop protection,
animal protection or urban pest management. In the
latter, students are trained in insects, nematodes, plant
diseases, 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.
Students will be prepared to take the Florida Board of
Health certification examination. Specific requirements
for specific programs tan be obtained by contacting the
Department of entomology and Nematology.

The Food Science and Human Nutrition Depart-
ment offers three curricula, Food Science, Nutrition and
Dietetics and Nutrition Sciences. Students in these cur-
ricula take a common core of courses, required courses
for their area of concentration, and electives. Students
should consult the departmental advisers for guidance
and approval of electives.
The Food Science curriculum is designed to utilize
the principles 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. Gen-
eral areas of study include: chemical, microbiological,
and nutritional properties of raw and processed foods;
role of processing and engineering in modifying food
properties; food deterioration and spoilage; role of
additives and other ingredients; food safety; food fer-
mentation and new food product innovations. An op-
portunity is offered for students to intensify in areas of
specialization such as general food processing, citrus
processing, seafood processing, food chemistry food
engineering, food microbiology management, food mar-
keting, nutrition, public health and consumer protec-
tion. Cooperative programs are available with the ap-
propriate commodity departments for students desiring
to specialize in dairy meat, poultry or fruit, and vegeta-
ble 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 de-
sired, for dietetic internship or approved supervised
practice upon graduation. The Nutrition and Dietetics
curriculum provides an excellent undergraduate educa-
tion for students planning to enter a graduate program
in human nutrition. Students preparing for the profes-
sions of medicine, dentistry, or veterinary medicine
normally complete the minimum program and addi-
tional courses chosen with the help of their advisers.

College of Architecture STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
GENERAL STATEMENT
The College of Architecture provides education,
research, and service for the built environment of Flori-'
da, the nation, and the world. Established as a school
in 1925, the college has grown to be one of the largest
design, planning, 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 Construction, Inte-
rior Design, and Landscape Architecture. Graduate pro-
grams are available through the Department of Urban
and Regional Planning, the School of Building Con-
struction, the Department of Architecture, and the De-
partment of Landscape Architecture. The college is
instituting a Ph.D. program in 1988.
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; IND 2100, 2130; LAA 1920,
2710, 2711, 3713, 4935; URP 4000). In addition, the
first 1/2 years of design coursework are common to all
three undergraduate design disciplines (architecture,
landscape architecture, and interior design). The Col-
lege's internal research award competition requires multi-
disciplinary faculty teamwork and, in turn, involves
students from units throughout the College. Other re-
search and service projects conducted through the re-
search centers and institutes (described below) often
entail multidisciplinary cross-campus student input
and effort.
The Architecture and Fine Arts Library and the
Visual Resources Center are the largest collections of
their kind in the Southeast. Together they provide books.
government documents, American and foreign periodi-
cals, subject files, microtext, slides, photographs, re-
productions, and other materials for undergraduate and
graduate studies. The AFA Library also maintains its
own Rare Book Collection for scholarly research. Ser-
vices include a professional reference service ready to
assist in guidance and searches for information. Stu-
dents may use additional resources in the University
Libraries system.
The Departments of Architecture and Landscape
Architecture and the School of Building Construction
have each celebrated over fifty years of service to the
citizens of Florida.
STUDENT AID
Students interested in part-time employment, assis-
tantships, fellowships, loans, prizes, and awards are
referred to individual departments and information pro-
vided by the University Office of Student Financial
Affairs.
RESEARCH CENTERS
The College contributes to community state, re-
gional, and national efforts to conserve and improve the
quality of the natural and built environments through
research projects directed by the Florida Architecture
and Building Research Center (FABRIC), the Research
and Education Center for Architectural Presevation (RE-
CAP), and the Center for Tropical and Subtropical
Architecture, Planning and Construction (TROPARC),
the Geofacilities Planning and Information Center
(GEOPLAN), the Center for Architectural Technology
Research (ARCHTECH), and the Center for Community
Redevelopment (DEVEL). The college has established
research and training programs of national prominence
through the Preservation Institute: Nantucket and the
Preservation Institute: Caribbean. The latter program,
directed by RECAP and TROPARC, is part of the Col-
lege of Architecture's drive to develop new links with
institutions in the Caribbean Basin and Latin America.
Student organizations take an active part in the
educational program of the College. Membership in the
professional organizations of each discipline is avail-
able to the student chapters. Student chapters of the
American Institute of Architecture Students and the
American Society of Interior Designers, Institute of Busi-
ness Designers, the UF Chapter of the American Socie-
ty of Landscape Architects, the Student Planning Asso-
ciation, the UF Chapter of the Student Constructors and
Cost Engineers, the Student Chapter of the Associated
Builders and Contractors, the Student Contractors and
Builders Association, and APX are all represented. Hon-
orary 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 impor-
tance of student involvement and encourages and as-
sists participation with professional groups and societies.
REQUIREMENTS FOR
ADMISSION
The University of Florida and the College of Archi-
tecture encourage applications from qualified students
of all cultural, racial, religious, and ethnic groups.
Listed herein are the specific requirements for admis-
sion to this College. It should be understood that only
minimum requirements are given and that admission
to the College is a selective process. Having satisfied
minimum requirements does not automatically guaran-
tee admission. The College has established a selective
process for the admission of students. Priority in admis-
sion shall be given to those applicants who, in the
judgment of the admissions committee, have the greatest
apparent potential for successful completion of the
program.
To be eligible for consideration for admission to the
College, the student must have reached junior status
and taken the College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST;
see the Index). Students admitted to the University at
less than junior status are in the College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences, Lower Division, not the College of Archi-
tecture, and admission in this manner does not in itself
guarantee space in the preprofessional architecture courses
nor eventual admission to the College. Students admit-
ted as juniors to Colleges other than the College of
Architecture have no priority for preprofessional or
professional courses and may be considered for enroll-
ment on a space available basis, after priority College
of Architecture students have been served.
Admission of students having junior status falls into
two categories: 1) those having completed all Lower
Division requirements and prepared to study at the
third year professional coursework levels and 2) those
needing to complete freshman/sophomore preprofessional
courses. Generally, transfer students 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 semes-
ters 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, overall G.PA.
Achievements in preprofessional courses or courses
related to disciplines of study
Pattern of courses completed
Portfolio review
1. Curriculum in Architecture: Through an Admis-
sions Committee the Department of Architecture
annually selects students to enter third year profes-
sional studies. All students who satisfactorily com-
plete the two-year preprofessional programs at Miami-
Dade, Broward, and St. Petersburg (Clearwater)
Community Colleges are eligible for consideration
for third year admission. Applications for transfer
from one of the approved preprofessional programs
or from the Lower Division of the UF College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences must be filed by the
deadline listed in the University Calendar (see Ta-
ble of Contents). Transfer students with provisional
admission ststus (3AR, 4AR, 5AR, or 6AR) must
notify the Department office of their wish to be
considered for third year admission by the same
date.
2. Curriculum in Interior Design: Transfer students
must consult with the program adviser. Students
needing to complete Lower Division preprofessional
requirements are urged to apply for the Summer
term for the sequence of architectural design, build-
ing arts, and architectural history. The remaining
prefprofessional 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 application. Notification of the decision of
the admissions committee shall be made prior to
the close of the Spring Semester for the junior class
which begins the following Fall. Contact the de-
partment for current information.
3. Curriculum in Landscape Architecture: Transfer
and post-baccalaureate students contemplating the
professional degree program must contact the De-
partment Adviser to determine admission timing
and eligibility. Students in the predesign programs
at Miami-Dade, Broward, and St. Petersburg (Clear-
water) Community Colleges must contact the De-
partment Adviser regarding preprofessional courses
not available at those colleges. Transfer students
from community colleges not offering an equivalent
predesign program are urged to begin their prepro-
fessional course work in the Summer term in order
to complete required classes in three semesters.
Calculus, botany and physical 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 pre-
professional coursework prior to admission to pro-
fessional 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
Landscape Architecture will admit students for third
year professional 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. Applications for Fall, in-
cluding all required credentials, must be received by
the Registrar's Office (for transfer students) or the Dean's
Office for UF students, as follows: Architecture -
February 15; Interior Design and Landscape Architec-
ture 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 apply on a space
available basis.
The School of Building Construction will admit
students for third year professional coursework in the
Fall and Spring semesters only. Deadlines for comple-
tion of all application procedures including School
requirements and receipt of official credentials is March
1 for Fall and October 3 for Spring admission. Applicants
unable to meet these deadlines may apply on a space
available basis.
Building Construction applicants needing to com-
plete 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 requirements 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.
COLLEGES
Deadlines for students in this category are as stated in
the University Calendar (see Table of Contents) under
"All Other Programs."
ADVISEMENT
Students planning to major in any program of study
in the College of Architecture should see the Director
of Student Services or the proper departmental chair-
man, program director or adviser as soon as possible.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM LOADS
Fifteen the eighteen semesters hours in any regular
semester shal 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 De-
partmental 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 profes-
sional and preprofessional courses. Additionally, these
courses must be taken in a sequence 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 preprofessonal 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 aver-
age 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 excel-
lence in their academic work by completing a mini-
mum 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 minimum grade point average of 2.0 (C) for all work
attempted in the appropriate curriculum while classi-
fied 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 maintain a 3.0 (B) average in Upper Division
work.
GRADUATION WITH HONORS AND HIGH HONORS
The faculty will consider recommending students
for graduation with HONORS or HIGH HONORS on
the following criteria: (a) grade point average, (b) distri-
bution and quality of subject matter studied, (c) evalua-
tion of the students by the faculty and (d) other perti-
nent qualities of the subject and his or her work.
The student will be considered for HONORS or
HIGH.HONORS upon earning a minimum academic
average establishedd by the department or program. The
average will be calculated on all work attempted while
the student is classified in the Upper Division. Transfer
credits will be excluded from the average; HONORS or
HIGH HONORS may be awarded upon a minimum of
48 semester hour credits taken at the University of
Florida. Students should check with their department or
program 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
experience in the employ of practicing professionals in
their particular field or in some allied work which will
give an insight into the problems of professional prac-
tice. Such employment provides an introduction to the
methods of actual practice and enables the student to
derive increased benefit from advanced work in school.
Students should seek the counsel of their faculty 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 experience through study of planning,
design, and construction projects of unusual interest.
Students frequently combine such studies with atten-
dance 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 Archi-
tecture, Master of Landscape Architecture, Master of
Arts in Urban and Regional Planning, Master of Science
in Building Construction, and master of Building Con-
struction. In addition to the College of Architecture
Ph.D. program, 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 stu-
dent, graduate programs are prepared in consultation
with a designated member of the Graduate 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).
Ridgdill, G. D., Acting 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 undergraduate curriculum leads to the
degree Bachelor of Design (Architecture.) 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 Architectural Design, Architectural Structures, Envi-
ronmental Technologies, and Architectural Preserva-
tion. 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 de-
tailed 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, Ar-
chitectural History 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 program. All Architec-
ture 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 historic preservation to advanced undergraduate and
graduate students, directing multidisciplinary projects
in historical research, documentation, building analysis
and maintenance, and planning. This Institute was
established in 1972 in this contemporary 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 history built environment, cultural values and tradi-
tions 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 stu-
dents from various academic disciplines from all na-
tions 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. Consult the course description
section in the back of the catalog for precise informa-
tion on offerings.

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 Re-
search. The course of study has been developed for
those students who plan a career in the profession of
Interior Design. The curriculum is structured to provide
a knowledge of the principles of the humanities, 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 knowledge of design techniques, materials, re-
sources, and an awareness of the interrelated profes-
sional responsibility of environmental design problems.
Interior Design career opportunities are numerous due
to the demand for professional design services by
businesses, corporations, community organizations, and
governmental agencies. Graduates of this program usu-
ally assume positions in interior design offices, archi-
tectural firms, or generate their own practices. All
entering students must consult with the adviser.

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 Con-
struction Education.
Graduates of the UF School of Building Construc-
tion 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 enroll-
ment of 260, plus 40 graduate students. The college is
instituting a Ph.D. program in 1988. Also, a Ph.D.
program is currently offered in conjunction with the

College of Business
Administration
The College of Business Administration of the Uni-
versity of Florida was organized in 1926-1927 and
includes programs of study in accounting, economics,
finance, insurance, real estate and urban analysis, man-
agement decision sciences, marketing, and computer
and information sciences.
The College's educational objectives are (a) to pro-
vide a broad formal instructional foundation for respon-
sible participation in business, the professions, and
government; (b) to stimulate interest in social, econom-
ic, and civic responsibilities; (c) to develop compe-
tence in making business decisions and in evaluating
policy; and (d) to offer fields of specialization in busi-
ness or economics and, especially to encourage intel-
lectual inquiry.
Undergraduate degree programs of the College are
based on a broad foundation of study outside the
college, which prepares the student for specialization
through limited concentration in certain fields of busi-
ness administration and economics. To this end, each
program of study is constructed around a core of courses
in economics and the major functionalareas of business.
Graduate programs in business administration and
economics are provided under the Graduate School of
Business Administration for advanced students with
interest in careers in teaching, research, or business.
The College participates in programs of adult and exec-
utive development education.
In addition to the University computer center, the
College maintains a college computer center for
instructional and research purposes.

College of Dentistry
The College of Dentistry is one of the six colleges
which constitute the J. Hillis Miller Health Science
Center. The College of Dentistry, as well as the other
units of the Health Science Center, is an integral compo-
nent, both geographically and functionally of the Uni-
versity of Florida. Many conjoint projects between the
College and other units of the Health Science Center
and University have been formulated and implemented.
In 1957 the Florida Legislature authorized the de-
velopment 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 Col-
lege of Dentistry are Community Dentistry, Dental
Biomaterials, Dental Education, Endodontics, Operative
Dentristry Oral Biology Oral Diagnostic Sciences, Oral
and Maxillofacial Surgery, Orthodontics, Pediatric Den-
tistry Periodontics, and Prosthodontics. A modular cur-
riculum has been developed based on multidisciplinary
teaching by these departments. The curriculum is de-
signed to permit students flexibility and individualiza-
tion in their program. It is a competency-based curricu-
lum in which behavioral objectives serve as the prima-
ry 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 gradu-
ate 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 following areas: one-year
programs in Dental Public Health, Advanced Education
in General Dentistry and General Practice Residency;
two-year programs in Orthodontics, Pediatric Dentistry,
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 acheivement, moral character,
and motivation are expected of the applicant. The
student of dentistry must possess a high basic aptitude
supplemented by an academic preparation 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 responsi-
bility. A broad representation of the ethnic mixture of
the state is sought in the student body through an active
recruitment program. The College strictly adheres 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 accept-
ed without fulfilling the degree requirements, provided
they show evidence of sufficient preprofessional prepa-
ration for the study of dentistry. Applicants with an
overall B average as a minimum will receive strongest
consideration for admission to the College of Dentistry.
Applicants should initiate the application process ap-
proximately 15 months prior to anticipated enrollment
by submitting an application through the centralized
American Association of Dental Schools Application
Service (AADSAS), 1625 Massachusetts Ave., N.W,
Suite 101, Washington, D.C. 20036.
Further 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 Florida, Box J-445, JHMHC,

College of Education
GENERAL STATEMENT
The College of Education is the officially designated
unit of the University of Florida that is responsible for
teacher education. University teacher education pro-
grams are approved by the State Department of Educa-
tion and the National Council for Accreditation of
Teacher Education.
The University of Florida has undergraduate pro-
grams leading toward the preparation of teachers in
Agricultural and Extension Education through the Col-
lege of Agriculture; Art Education through the College
of Fine Arts or the College of Education; Health Educa-
tion and Physical Education through the College of
Health and Human Performance; Music Education
through the College of Fine Arts; the various areas of
Secondary Education through the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences; and Elementary and Special Educa-
tion through the College of Education.
In the program areas of Agricultural and Extension
Education, Art Education, Health Education, Music Ed-
ucation and Physical Education, students will be
recommended for initial teacher certification upon the
completion of their undergraduate degrees. In the pro-
gram areas of elementary education, special education,
and various areas of secondary education, students
must complete an additional year of academic study in
the College of Education which may lead to the Master
of Education degree prior to recommendation for initial
teacher certification.
PROTEACH
(A program for the Preparation of Professional Teachers)
Teaching is a more difficult and demanding profes-
sion 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 success in
later life. More is expected of teachers than ever before.
In response to this challenge, the faculty of the
College of Education has developed a program for the
preparation of professional teachers in elementary edu-
cation, special education, and the various areas of
secondary education. PROTEACH (from PROfessional
TEACHer) is a rigorous program consisting of five years
of intensive work: general background knowledge, pro-
fessional studies, and academic specializations designed
to culminate in a Master of Education Degree.
The curriculum of PROTEACH incorporates the best
available information about effective teachers' knowl-
edge, skills, and personal attributes. The latest develop-
ments in instructional approaches and new technologies
are used. PROTEACH is not built upon the previous
program but upon a reconceptualization 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
coursework outside the College of Education and
expanded foundational 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, in-
cluding 12-24 hours of specialized study in one or two
academic disciplines. Majors in Special Education are
required to have 70 hours outside the College of Educa-
tion, including 18 hours in one academic discipline.
Students in the various subject areas of secondary
education are required to have an undergraduate major
in the subject they are planning to teach and will
receive their bachelor'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 cho-
sen teaching field, take the expanded foundational
studies in education. Those foundational studies in-
clude the social, philosophical, and historical founda-
tions of education; human growth and development;
ethical principles governing teachers; legal provisions
affecting education; the nature of handicapped children
in regular classrooms; educational diagnosis and evalu-
ation; interpersonal relations; learning the cognitive
process in education; instructional design and imple-
mentation; 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 engage in early observation, supervised
practice, and a concluding internship in the public
schools as well as campus-based clinical experiences
including microteaching, simulation, an*d other con-
trolled 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 professional program.
For PROTEACH students in Elementary Education
and Special Education, the bachelor's degree will be
awarded by the College of Education upon the success-
ful completion of the first of two phases of the approved
teacher education program. This initial phase includes
a prescribed set of courses and experiences, and a
stated minimum number of semester hours of credit.
This is only part of the total program. A final phase of
one academic year after receipt of the bachelor's de-
gree is required for completion of the University of
Florida's approved teacher education programs in Ele-
mentary Education and Special Education.
REQUIREMENTS FOR
ADMISSION
The University of Florida and the College of Educa-
tion encourage applications from qualified students of
both sexes from all cultural, racial, religious and ethnic
groups. The College offers undergraduate programs in
Art Education, Elementary Education, and Special Edu-
cation. In Elementary Education and Special Education,
a student must complete an additional academic year
of study which may lead to the Master of Education
Degree prior to recommendation for initial teacher cer-
tification. In the various areas of secondary education,
a student must complete an undergraduate degree from
the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and complete
an additional academic year of study in the College of
Education which may lead to the Master of Education
Degree prior to recommendation for initial teacher
certification.
Listed below are the specific requirements for
admission to the undergraduate programs in the Col-
lege of Education. It should be understood, however,
that minimum requirements are given and that admis-
sion to the College is a selective process. The satisfac-
tion of minimum requirements does not automatically
guarantee admission. The two major criteria for admis-
sion are the American College Test (ACT) or the Scho-
lastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the Grade Point Average
(GPA). The required ACT or SAT score is noted below
(see #1). The minimum GPA must reflect the likelihood
that the student will meet Graduate School admission
requirements and will vary with the number of appli-
cants, availability of space and the number of faculty in
a given program. A student's total record, including
educational objectives, pattern of courses previously
completed, quality of previous academic records and
test data will be considered in evaluating an applica-
tion for admission. Priority for admission will be given
to those applicants whose potential on the basis of their
total record indicates the greatest likelihood of success
in the program requested.
A student who does not meet all of the require-
ments for admission rnay petition to the College of
Education for admission. A limited number of students
may be admitted through this procedure. A petition for
admission cannot be considered unless a student has
an American College Test score or a Scholastic Aptitude
Test score.

College of Engineering
GENERAL STATEMENT
The engineer engages in creative design and con-
struction and in research and development-serving as
a bridge between human needs and the storehouse of
theoretical knowledge. In applying science to the com-
mon 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 understand-
ing of the legal, economic, and social restrictions of
contemporary society. Clear and precise communica-
tions, whether oral or written, are required of the
engineer when delivering judgments, plans, and deci-
sions. A sound knowledge of the engineering field and
of related disciplines is required so that the engineer
can work effectively with others-other engineers, sci-
entists, and technicians-in fulfilling engineering as-
signments. Above all, the engineer is expected to be a
responsible citizen.
The various undergraduate programs in the College
of Engineering are founded on mathematics and the
physical sciences. Additional emphasis is placed upon
the humanities and social sciences to develop judg-
ment, perspective, and curiosity. Many graduates con-
tinue their formal education beyond the bachelor's
degree. The education of an engineer should not stop
upon completion of a degree program. Education, for-
mal 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 pro-
grams leading to the bachelor's degree. Departments
with baccalaureate degree responsibilities and the bach-
elor's degrees they offer are:
Agricultural Engineering Department

gram in Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies, administered
by the Dean's Office, and leading to the Bachelor of
Science (Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies) degree.
For information relative to graduate degrees in engi-
neering refer to the various curricula sections or the

Essential Preparation
Modern engineering education demands much in
the way of specific high school preparation not re-
quired in other college programs. The beginning engi-
neering student should have a good understanding of
the basic physical sciences, a highly developed ability
in mathematics, and the competence to read rapidly
and with comprehension. The College of Engineering
considers that a minimum adequate preparation would
include the following:
In high school, the student should include the
following subjects:
Essentials Year
Elementary algebra .............. ............................. 1
Intermediate and advanced algebra..................... 1
Plane geometry............................ ............ 1
Trigonom etry ..................................................
C hem istry ...................................................... 1
Physics.......... .................... ... ... ....... ............. 1
Desirable
Additional Mathematics...................................
Deficiencies in the above subjects may be over-
come by registering in certain foundation courses be-
fore proceeding with parts of the regular engineering
program. See catalog's Admission as a Freshman sec-
tion for complete information.
The General Plan of Study
The study program leading to the bachelor's de-
grees in engineering described under the separate head-
ings on the following pages are carefully planned into
an organized sequence. The aggressive, strongly moti-
vated 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, for different reasons, are not pre-
pared to enter directly into one of the curricula de-
scribed below. For example, a student may have attended
a high school which did not offer all the preparatory
courses necessary for entry into the Pre-Engineering
Curriculum. Or possibly the student's objectives changed
late in the high school program, resulting in a prepara-
tion deficient in areas required of potential engineering
students. In all such cases, the time required to com-
plete the degree requirements can be expected to increase.
As a general rule, subjects basic to all fields of
engineering are studied while the student is enrolled in
the first two years of the University or in a pre-engineering
program of a community or junior college. Then, when
specialized study is taken in the third and later years
within a department of the College of Engineering, the
program of coursework can be tailored to the student's
preparation, interests, and abilities.
The University of Florida and the University of
North Florida (UNF), Jacksonville, Florida have a joint
program in Electrical Engineering located at the UNF in
Jacksonville. Applicants for this program should submit
their application through the University of North Florida.
FINANCIAL AID
Information about general financial aid can be
obtained from the Office for Student Financial Affairs,
University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611. The
College of Engineering generally does not offer finan-
cial aid for students at the freshman or sophomore level
since students are not normally admitted into the Col-
lege until their junior year. The only exceptions involve
unrestricted scholarship students or students who plan to
major in Agricultural Engineering or Chemical Engi-
neering and minority students. The Agricultural Engineer-
ing Department and Chemical Engineering Department
have a few small industry-supported scholarships for
students at the freshman level, and the Chemical Engi-
neering Department also has a few awards for students
transferring at the junior level. Minority students plan-
ning to major in Engineering should contact the Direc-
tor of Minority Affairs in the College of Engineering for
information about financial aid.
After a student is enrolled in the College, he or she
may apply for a scholarship. The awards, which are
limited in number, are made each spring for the follow-
ing academic year. Most are based on financial aneed,
as well as scholastic performance. Applications are
available early during the spring semester from the
department counselors or Academic Dean's Ofice.
An emergency short-term loan fund is available
through the Office for Student Financial Affairs or the
Academic Dean's Office to assist students through emer-
gency situations.
HONORARY, PROFESSIONAL, AND
TECHNICAL SOCIETIES
Students in the College of Engineering are encour-
aged to participate in extracurricular activities includ-
ing active membership in honorary professional, and
technical organizations at the department, college, and
university levels. Almost all of the nationally recog-
nized engineering organizations having student chap-
ters are represented including:

PRE-ENGINEERING
CURRICULUM
The program below is described for students whose
high school preparation meets the criteria previously
described and it will normally be completed during the
freshman and sophomore years at the University of
Florida.
The minimum course load for full-time students is
12 credit hours each semester, but most students take
13 to 16 credit hours. At this rate, it takes at least 41/2
years including a summer term to earn a B.S. degree. It
will take somewhat longer for students who need prep-
aration courses before entering the program below.
In planning the physical science and mathematics
portion of the academic program, a freshman should
talk with the Academic Dean or a College of Engineer-
ing faculty adviser.
The requirements in Social Sciences, English, Hu-
manities, and (in most departments) Biological Sciences
can be met only by (a) advance placement (AP) pro-
gram, (b) appropriate College Level Examination Pro-
gram (CLEP) credits or (c) courses selected from the
listing in the Authorized Courses for General Education
section of this catalog. In a few cases as noted below,
the College of Engineering requires specific courses in
,fulfilling the General Education requirements for these
subject areas. A student not meeting the specific gener-
al education distribution requirements noted below will
be required to take such courses as necessary to re-
move the deficiency in order to satisfy professional
accreditation criteria. Provided that the student meets
University General Education Requirements, supple-
mental Social and Behavioral Sciences or Humanities
courses necessary to remedy distributional deficiencies
may include advanced courses in these areas not in-
cluded in the catalog's General Education listing.

COLLEGE REGULATIONS
English Requirement: Responsibility for the correct
and effective use of spoken and written English rests
primarily upon the student. Any instructor in the Col-
lege of Engineering may at any time, with the approval
of the Chairman of the Department and the Academic
Dean, require a student who shows a deficiency in
English to complete additional courses over and above
the curriculum requirements for the degree.
Each student in the College is required to complete
for 2 credits the course ENC 3213, Technical Writing,
with a grade of C or better, after being classified as a
3EG Student.
Thesis: A thesis is not required of candidates for the
baccalaureate degree in the College of Engineering.
However, exceptional students may be granted permis-
sion by the Academic Dean, upon recommendation of
the Chairman of the Department, to undertake a thesis
in lieu of required or elective work in the department in
which the student is enrolled. Not more than four
semester hours will be allowed for such thesis work.
Credit for Special Work.
1. Upon the recommendation of the Chairman of
the Department and the approval by the Academic
Dean, a student during the course of study may do
practical work under approved supervision in in-
dustry. By submitting a satisfactory report, based
upon a previously approved outline, and by pass-
ing an examination, a student may receive college
credit not to exceed three credit hours. Students
will register for the proper departmental course to
receive such credit.
2. Where it is determined by the department con-
cerned that an exceptional student may profit by
supplementing the regular program of coursework
in a particular area, the student may register for
special problems in the chosen field. Credit for
such work should not exceed six credit hours.
To receive such credit, the student must register for
the departmental course number 4905.
A student may not have more than eight credit
hours total for individual study including high honors
projects, co-op work experience, practical work experi-
ence, and special topics.
Elective Credit: It is the policy of the College that
engineering students cannot use freshman level courses
for technical and nontechnical elective credits. Foreign
language credits at the freshman level may, within the
discretion of the department, be credited as nontechnical
electives, provided that the student presents at least two
semesters of work in the same language with a grade of
C or better for each semester.
Grade Average Required for Graduation: The re-
quirement for graduation with a Bachelor's degree is a
ENGINEERING
grade average of C or higher in all work taken after
being classified as a junior, as well as for all UF work,
and successful completion of all required courses.
Maintenance of Academic Standards: If at anytime
after admission to the College of Engineering a stu-
dent's college grade point average falls below 2.00, the
student will be placed on college probation. A student
may also be placed on probation if normal academic
progress is not maintained in the program of study. The
section of this catalog on Student Acpdemic Regula-
tions authorizes any college to set its own standards for
exclusion of a student who fails or refuses to maintain
normal academic progress. Failure to satisfactorily com-
plete the terms of probation will result in the ineligibili-
ty of the student for further registration in the College of
Engineering. It is the policy of the College of Engineering
that any undergraduate student who withdraws from
the University for the second time will be automatically
placed upon college probation which will continue
until graduation. Any student on college probation for
this reason who withdraws for a third time from the
University may, at the discretion of the Academic Dean,
be ineligible for further registration in the College of
Engineering.
Attendance Regulations: The College supports the
University regulations regarding absences and unsatis-
factory work; see Index under "Attendance Regula-
tions." Particular attention is directed to the provision
which allows departmental chairmen to drop students
from any course for which the student has not attended
at least one of the first two meetings.
Advanced ROTC: Some engineering students 'may
elect to enroll in the Advanced ROTC programs offered
by the Army Navy, and the Air Force. Graduates of
these programs are commissioned as second lieuten-
ants or ensigns as described elsewhere in this catalog.
Advanced courses in Military Science are accept-
able on a limited basis, with departmental approval, for
credit as technical or nontechnical electives toward a
degree in engineering.
Correspondence Courses: (See Student Academic
Regulations "Degrees and Graduation.")
A student in the College will not be permitted to
register for and work on correspondence courses while
enrolled in the College unless special permission is
obtained from the Academic Dean of the College and
the Registrar. A student on probation must have permis-
sion of the Academic Dean to register for correspon-
dence courses when not enrolled in the College. A
student who has been suspended will not be permitted
to take correspondence courses for credit until the
suspension is removed. A grade of C or better is re-
quired to receive credit for a correspondence course.
Dean's List:
Each semester there is compiled a Dean's List of
those students whose work for the preceding semester
has been of a high order. This recognition is accorded
to students in the College of Engineering who:
a. earn a minimum of 14 hours of credit during a
semester or 12 hours of credit during the summer
terms;
b. receive a 3.2 average during the period, and
c. have no grade below C for the period.
Drop Policy: Students classified 1 and 2EG are
allowed a total of two drops after the published drop
date. Similarly, students classified 3, 4, 5, and 6EG are
allowed a total of two unrestricted drops (free drops). A
student with an initial course load of 15 credits or more
will be permitted to drop a course without penalty
provided this is done by the end of the seventh week of
class and the total credits remaining are 12 or more. If
these drop criteria are not met, the student will be
assessed one unrestricted drop for each course dropped.
The College of Engineering drop policy for the summer
terms will allow a student to drop a course during the
first three weeks of the A' or 'B' terms without penalty if
he or she has an initial registration of 7 credit hours or
more and will not drop below 5 credit hours. Students
enrolled for the 'C' term may drop a course during the
first six weeks without penalty if they are registered for
at least 13 credit hours and will not drop below 10
credit hours. Calculation of registration for the A' and
'B' terms will be credit hours in A' or 'B' plus one-half
of 'C.' Calculation of registration for the 'C' term will be
credit hours in 'C' plus 2 times the A' registration.
There is no petition appeal from this drop policy.
HONOR STUDENTS
Honors: Students in the College of Engineering are
designated as Honor Students when they have met all
the following conditions:
1. have achieved a college grade point average of
3.30 or higher (college GPA is defined as all work
taken after being classified as a junior);
2. have been registered in the College for at least
one semester;
3. have completed at least 16 credit hours while
enrolled in the College of Engineering;
4. have been recommended by the major depart-
ment after the departmental faculty has reviewed
the student's record for satisfactory conduct and
academic progress.
For honor students, the grade point average referred to
in condition 1 above is termed the honor point average.
Special consideration is given honor students who
wish to substitute courses, provided that they have
maintained the conditions for honor student designation.
The student petitions in writing and visits the Academic
Dean for such substitutions.
Graduation with honors requires, in addition to the
normal requirements for graduation,
1. completion of all work required by the major
department and a college honor point average
of 3.30 or higher;
2. recommendation of the major department;
3. approval by the college faculty.
High Honors: Certain honor students may be
recommended to the Academic Dean by the faculty of
the major department to participate in a special pro-
gram leading to graduation with high honors.
Eligibility for the high honors program requires:
1. a college honor point average of 3.50 or higher;
2. recommendation by the faculty of the major
department.
Participation in the high honors program requires
that the student:
1. accept in writing the Academic Dean's invita-
tion to participate in the program no later than
the end of the term before graduation;
2. carry out a high honors project and submit a
thesis based on the project unless these require-
ments are waived.
If the student accepts the invitation to participate in
the high honors program, the Academic Dean appoints
a committee to oversee and approve all stages of the
thesis project and oral examination. The committee,
recommended to the Academic Dean by the Depart-
ment Chairman, is composed of two faculty members
from the student's major department and one faculty
member from another department of the University.
The thesis project is normally waived if the student
has an honor point average of 3.80 or higher, but this is
discretionary with the committee. In planning the stu-
dent's high honors program, the committee takes into
account the academic and career goals of the student.
The committee supervises the high honors project and
the oral examination; upon satisfactory completion and
the waiving of all requirements, the candidate is
recommended by the committee to the faculty of the
major department. A student who will graduate with a
4.0 honor point average has an automatic waiver for
both the high honors project and the oral examination.
Graduation with High Honors requires
1. completion of all required work of the major
department and a college honor point average
of at least 3.50
2. recommendation of the major department
3. approval by the college faculty
When a high honors project is a part of a student's
program, credit may be obtained by registration in a
course carrying the prefix of the appropriate depart-
ment. A student may not have more than eight credit
hours total for individual study including high honors
projects, co-op work experience, practical work experi-
ence and special problems or special topics. Registra-
tion for variable credit of one to four hours per semester
requires Committee approval.
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
The College of Engineering is an ardent supporter
of the University Affirmative Action and Equal Opportu-
nity Program. Anyone who believes that he or she has
been discriminated against on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, disability, age, or national origin should
contact the Academic Dean who serves as the Affimative
Action/Equal Opportunity Officer for the College.
If a student feels that his or her performance in a
course has not been evaluated accurately the situation
should be discussed with the teacher. If the disagree-
ment is not resolved at that level, the student may
pursue the matter with the instructor's Department Chair-
man, the Academic Dean for the College, and the
University Ombudsman.
AEROSPACE ENGINEERING
The undergraduate and graduate degree programs
in aerospace engineering are administered by the De-
partment of Engineering Sciences. The Bachelor of
Science in Engineering (Aerospace Engineering) pro-
gram is designed to prepare its graduates for careers in
aeronautical engineering and space-related engineering
fields. It also prepares students for the post-baccalaureate
education appropriate in preparation for careers in
advanced research and development.
The program incorporates a solid foundation of
physical and mathematical fundamentals which pro-
vides the basis for the development of the engineering
principles essential to the understanding of both atmo-
spheric and extra-atmospheric flight. Aerodynamics,
lightweight structures, flight propulsion, and related
subjects typical of aeronautical engineering are includ-
ed. Also, there are courses which introduce problems
associated with space flight and its requirements. Inte-
Sgration of fundamental principles into useful applica-
tions is made in design work in the junior and senior
years. Thus, the program prepares the student to con-
tribute to the future technological growth which prom-
ises exciting and demanding careers in aerospace
engineering.
Areas of individual interest may be pursued through
counseled choice of elective work. Examples of con-
centration areas are:
Aerodynamics
Design
Flight Propulsion
Flight Structures
Space Technology
Stability, Control and Guidance
Graduates of the Aerospace Engineering program
are prepared for employment in the aerospace industry
in Florida and elsewhere. Their broad scope of funda-
mental preparation also suits them for specialized work
in related industries and government laboratories.
Admission Requirements: Applicants should under-
stand that admission to this program is a selective
process. Admission will be based on a student's total
record including educational objectives, courses com-
pleted, quality of academic record, and other important
facts. Priority in admission will be given to those stu-
dents whose potential on the basis of the total record
indicates the greatest likelihood of success in the program.
Successful applicants in the past have had a pre-
engineering program grade point average of 2.7 or
higher with at least a 2.7 in technical courses.

AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING
The agricultural and food industry is the largest
single industry in the United States and in Florida. The
growth of agriculture and technology have proceeded
together and now agricultural production and processing
industries require advanced machines and systems. The
industries providing these machines and the related
systems require engineering skills which agricultural
engineers provide. The agricultural engineer is also
involved in natural resources conservation stemming
from drainage and watershed hydrology activities.
Agricultural engineering is unique in its concern for
the engineering problems of biological production and
processing. The agricultural engineer solves the engi-
neering problems associated with agriculture such as
the conversion of the sun's energy into biological (food)
products using soil nutrition resources and water in
controlled ways. The agricultural engineer uses basic
engineering training combined with knowledge of agri-
cultural and biological systems to design functional
machines and equipment to process and handle these
products so that quality is enhanced. No challenge
could be greater and more rewarding than that related
to food production and processing in view of the
population explosion and projected world food shortage.
The education of the agricultural engineer includes
basic physical and engineering sciences and also courses
in biology, soils, plant science, and animal science.
The courses in agricultural engineering unify the con-
cepts learned into a practical ability to solve a broad
range of engineering problems confronting the agricul-
tural and food industry.
Agricultural engineers have numerous career op-
portunities in various segments of the large Florida
agricultural industry and with manufacturers of equip-
ment and supplies for agriculture throughout the na-
tion. Agricultural engineers are sought by state and
federal agencies for careers in irrigation, drainage, and
water resource management and pollution control. Ex-
cellent opportunities are available for graduate study.
This program is offered cooperatively with the College
of Agriculture.
Special Grade Requirements: In addition to the
college requirements for graduation, a minimum course
grade of C is required of all Agricultural Engineering
majors for Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials,
and for each required Agricultural Engineering course.
Students receiving less than a C grade in such courses
will be required to repeat the course as soon as possible.
Admission Requirements: Applicants should under-
stand that admission to this program is a selective
process. Admission will be based on a student's total
record including educational objectives, courses com-
pleted, quality of academic record, and other important
facts. Priority in admission will be given to those stu-
dents whose potential on the basis of the total record
indicates the greatest likelihood of success in the program.
Successful applicants in the past have had a cumu-
lative grade point average of at least a 2.0 and a "C"
average in pre-engineering technical course sequences.
Degree Programs: The Agricultural Engineering De-
partment offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Sci-
ence in Engineering (Agricultural Engineering), Master
of Engineering, Master of Science, the Engineer De-
gree, and Doctor of Philosophy.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Although chemical engineering has existed as a
field of engineering for only about 80 years, its name is
no longer completely descriptive of this dynamic, grow-
ing profession. The work of the chemical engineer is
neither restricted to the chemical industry nor limited to
chemical changes or chemistry. Instead, modern chem-
ical engineers, who are also called process engineers,
are concerned with all the physical and chemical changes
of matter to produce economically a product or result
that is useful to mankind. More than most fields, the
education of the chemical engineer has been based on
__ENGINEERING
the fundamental sciences of physics and chemistry, on
mathematical and computer techniques, and on basic
engineering principles. Such a broad background has
made the chemical engineer extremely versatile and
capable of working in.a wide variety of industries:
chemical, petroleum, aerospace, nuclear, materials, mi-
croelectronics, sanitation, food processing, and com-
puter technology The chemical industry alone provides
an opportunity for the chemical engineer to participate
in the research, development, design, or operation of
plants for the production of new synthetic fibers, plas-
tics, chemical fertilizers, vitamins, antibiotics, rocket
fuels, nuclear fuels, paper pulp, photographic prod-
ucts, paints, fuel cells, transistors, and the thousands of
chemicals that are used as intermediates in the manu-
facture of the above products.
In practice, the activities of the chemical engineer
are sufficiently diversified to attract a wide range of
talents and abilities. The chemical engineers working in
process design determine the sequence of steps to be
followed in producing a useful product, calculate the
sizes of the equipment required and the total cost;
those working in development research do small scale
studies on new processes or products; those working in
production improve and coordinate the operation of
plants and equipment. Others do fundamental re-
search on the laws of science and their application.
Many chemical engineers work in technical sales, cost
estimation, patent law, and plant supervision. A chemi-
cal engineering background is often the best route to
top-level management positions.
Admission Requirements: Applicants should under-
stand that admission to this program is a selective
process. Admission will be based on a student's total
record including educational objectives, courses com-
pleted, quality of academic record, and other important
facts. Priority in admission will be given to those stu-
dents whose potential on the basis of the total record
indicates the greatest likelihood of success in the program.
Successful applicants in the past have had a grade
point average in pre-engineering technical courses of
2.8 or higher.
Degree Programs: The following degrees are offered
by the Chemical Engineering Department: Bachelor of
Science in Chemical Engineering, Bachelor of Science,
Master of Engineering, Master of Science, Doctor of
Philosophy.
All Chemical Engineering majors shall maintain
satisfactory progress (GPA of 2.0 or higher) in Chemical
Engineering professional courses as well as in overall
record. Also, to proceed to succeeding courses, C
grades or better must be obtained in ECH 3012, 3023,
3203, and CAP 3210. However, since enrollment in
selected courses prerequisite to senior level profession-
al courses may be limited by insufficient staff and
facilities, minimum performance may not guarantee
completion of the curriculum.
All prospective students are urged to contact the
Department directly for more detailed information about
careers and degree programs.

CURRICULUM LEADING TO
THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR
OF SCIENCE & TO THE
MASTER'S DEGREE IN
ENGINEERING
The department has also developed an alternative
route for above-average students to attain high-level
knowledge in applied science and chemical engineer-
ing fundamentals. This program consists of a Bachelor's
degree directly coupled to a Master of Engineering
degree which can be completed within 5/2 years.
The Bachelor's degree contains most of the same
ChE courses as for the BSCHE degree and is awarded to
students who have been admitted to the Graduate
School. The ME degree involves the same spectrum of
Chemical Engineering areas but with more sophisticat-
ed material than is contained in the BSCHE degree.
In the minimum of 156 semester credits, the stu-
dent will have earned a Master's degree and reached a
significant level of professional education and will be
capable of entering essentially all process industries in
positions ranging from research to design, develop-
ment, analysis, or operations.
The undergraduate program parallels the BSCHE
program until the last three terms when the material in
some courses and most electives is postponed to the
graduate level where it is upgraded and supplemented.
Details of the graduate program can be obtained from
the Graduate Coordinator.
The curriculum consists of all courses required for
the BSCHE degree except for ESCH 4323, 4264. Also,
3 credits of nontechnical electives and no credits of
option courses are required.

CIVIL ENGINEERING
Civil Engineering is directly concerned with the
activities of'man and the environment. It is the oldest
and most diverse branch of engineering and includes
the design and construction of bridges, buildings, dams,
waterways, coastal protection works, airports, pipe-
lines, missile launching facilities, blast shelters, rail-
roads, highways, sanitary systems, ocean structures and
facilities, foundations, harbors, waterworks, and many
other systems and structures upon which modern civili-
zation depends. In its broadest sense, the function of
the civil engineer may be defined as the adaption of the
physical features of the' earth to the needs of man.
Approximately one-fourth of all engineers are engaged
in Civil Engineering.
The concentration of population into cities, the
mass use of the automobile and the airplane, the
increasing demands of industry for greater quantities of
power and the public's demand for clean streams and
beaches, for clean air, and the potential for man's
expansion into space and the oceans present the civil
engineer with many challenging problems.
To assist the young engineer to meet these chal-
lenges, the Civil Engineering Department offers a basic
program that provides the minimum education for prac-
tice in this broad field of engineering services to socie-
ty. Beyond the Bachelor's degree, advanced degrees
may be obtained in several of the major areas of civil
engineering such as transportation, hydraulics, structur-
al, soil mechanics, foundations, and construction.
While it is essential that the civil engineer under-
stand the fundamentals of his or her chosen field, it is
also necessary that he or she understand the role other
branches of engineering play in the completed work.
The Civil Engineering curriculum therefore includes
courses from other engineering disciplines, and be-
cause of this broad program, it provides an excellent
basic engineering education. Thus, the student who is
not sure which field of engineering to choose is provid-
ed with the broadest of engineering backgrounds, a
springboard, so to speak, to specialization.
Degree Programs
The Civil Engineering Department offers the follow-
ing degrees: Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering,
Bachelor of Science in Surveying and Mapping, Master
of Civil Engineering, Master of Engineering, Master of
Science, the Engineer Degree, and Doctor of Philosophy.
The program of study leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering has been
established to meet the requirements for entry into the
professional practice of civil engineering and to meet
the General Education requirements of the University of
Florida. The program is divided into two parts: a two
year pre-engineering program and the upper division
professional portion. The pre-engineering program may
be completed while classified as UF in the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences or, in most instances, with
the pre-engineering Associate of Arts degree program
offered by the various community colleges in Florida.
Civil Engineering is a broad discipline of study that
influences the life of all society. The requirements to
enter the profession are rigorous and the academic
program is longer, therefore, than those of many other
disciplines. The program requires completion of 145
semester hours and most students should plan on an
educational period of five years.
All courses required for the BSCE degree will be
listed in the University of Florida Bulletin with an
indication of the probable term, Fall or Spring, in
which they will be taught. Courses will be offered as
announced but there is no certainty they will be offered
at other times during the year. Students should familiar-
ize themselves with the degree requirements and ar-
range their schedule accordingly. Faculty advisers will
assist the students in planning their program.
Admissions Requirements:
Applicants should understand that admission to this
COLLEGES
program is a selective process. Admission will be based
on a student's total record including educational objec-
tives, courses completed, quality of academic record,
and other important facts. Priority in adinission will be
given to those students whose potential on the basis of
the total record indicates the greatest likelihood of
success in the program.
Successful applicants in the past have had a pre-
engineering program grade point average of 2.25 or
higher. A minimum C average is required on all at-
tempts for all sequential courses including a grade of C
or better in the final course of the sequence. In addi-
tion, a minimum grade of C is required in all English
courses, Engineering Statistics, and FORTRAN Program-
ming. A minimum C grade is required in all upper
division courses taken prior to application for admis-
sion to the Department.
Degree Requirements:
A minimum grade of C is required for all courses
marked with an ansterisk (*) in the following list of
courses. These are pre- or corequisites for more ad-
vanced courses in the program. An upper division
minimum grade point average of 2.0 is required for
graduation. All BSCE students must take the Engineer-
in-Training (EIT) exam offered by the Department of
Professional Regulation before graduation.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Electrical Engineering is a science oriented branch
of engineering primarily concerned with all phases
and development of the transmission and utilization of
power and intelligence. The study of electrical engineer-
ing can be conveniently divided into the academic
areas of circuits, electronics, electromagnetics, electric
energy systems, communications, control, and comput-
er engineering.
Because of the extremely rapid growth and changes
relating to the application of electrical engineering
principles, the curriculum is designed for concentration
on a solid core of basic foundation courses. Electives
are taken according to individual interest in order to
permit a student to delve more deeply into subject
matter previously introduced. Technical electives, as
well as nontechnical electives, must be selected from
the approved lists of the Electical Engineering Department.
The department's extensive laboratory facilities and
varied research programs will assist in highlighting both
the experimental and theoretical approaches to electri-
cal engineering.
Beyond the baccalaureate degree the department
offers graduate programs for students interested in ad-
vanced degrees. As more and more students are contin-
uing to further their education in the graduate schools
of the nation, it is advisable that those who may
become qualified seek early counseling. Even as early
as the sixth and seventh semesters, the coursework in
many cases may be directed toward future graduate
work. Certainly, the choice of electives taken during the
last few semesters of the undergraduage curriculum
may relate to areas of interest to be pursued in the
graduate program.
Degree Programs: The Electrical Engineering De-
partment offers the following degrees at the Gainesville
campus: Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering,
Master of Engineering, Master of Science, Engineer, and
Doctor of Philosophy. The degree Bachelor of Science
in Engineering (Electrical Engineering) is also offered,
but only in the UF/UNF Joint Program in Jacksonville.
Admission: The number of applicants who can be
accepted is limited by the available classroom and
laboratory space, laboratory facilities, and faculty. That
number varies because of normal fluctuations in the
number of students who graduate and who leave the
program. It is the department's policy to admit the
best-qualified applicants as demonstrated by high
academic achievement, within the enrollment limita-
tions discussed above.
Applicants should understand that admission to this
program is a selective process. Admission will be based
on a student's total record including educational objec-
tives, courses completed, quality of academic record,
and other important facts. Priority in admission will be
given to those students whose potential on the basis of
the total record indicates the greatest likelihood of
success in the program.
Applicants have been successful in the past when
their grade point average was (1) 2.8 or better overall,
and (2) 2.8 in calculus courses (on first attempts), and
(3) 2.8 in physics (with calculus) lecture courses (on
first attempts).
Once admitted to the program, an electrical engi-
neering student shall maintain satisfactory progress-
generally C or better in all required courses-and an
overall grade point average of 2.0 or higher. In particu-
lar, an electrical engineering student cannot take an
electrical engineering course without having earned a
minimum grade of C in the prerequisite electrical engi-
neering courses.
In addition to the other requirements for a bache-
lor's degree a student must have at least a 2.0 grade
point average in all electrical engineering courses tak-
en, both required and elective. If a course is repeated,
both grades count in this grade point average.
The Electrical Engineering Department publishes
the Electrical Engineering Counseling Guide which pro-
vides detailed information beyond that stated in this
catalog.
Degree Program at UNF: Through a cooperative
arrangement, a program leading to a University of
Florida Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Electrical
Engineering) degree is offered on the campus of the
University of North Florida (UNF) at Jacksonville, Flori-
da. Admission requirements (see above) and curricu-
lum requirements (see below) are the same as for the
Gainesville campus' program leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. However,
applications for the program must be made through the
Admissions Office at UNE Applicants can be made for
admission in any semester of the year.

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
IN ENGINEERING SCIENCE
Engineering Science is a fully credited Engineering
degree program providing a broad, strong foundation in
mathematics, science, and engineering, coupled with
unusual flexibility to create individualized, nontraditional
areas of emphasis or concentration. The program is
intended for good students who wish to design person-
alized curricula satisfying special interests and objec-
tives. Commonly, these students are seeking a program
emphasizing:
combinations of conventional disciplines,
a particularly broad foundation for graduate study
in a chosen field,
preparation for professional schools such as med-
icine, law, or management,
new, uncommon, or recently significant areas of
study which do not fit well within traditional curricula.
The Engineering Science program accommodates
this wide range of objectives by providing a large
selection of elective courses. Students and their advi-
sors cooperate in choosing these electives to custom
design curricula to fit individual interests and educational
goals. The number of possible areas of concentration is
almost limitless and new concentrations are continually
being created by students. Recently designed concen-
trations include:
Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

ENVIRONMENTAL
ENGINEERING SCIENCES
Environmental Engineering Sciences is a field in
which the application of engineering and scientific
principles is used to protect and preserve human health
and the well-being of the environment. Initially con-
cerned only with water resources and the treatment or
protection of drinking water supplies, the field first
became known as Sanitary Engineering. Now, since it
embraces the broad field of the general environment,
including air, food, shelter, radiological health, trans-
portation and accident prevention as well as water, the
term Environmental Engineering Sciences is preferred.
Increasing activities in many applications of nucle-
ar energy are likewise demanding individuals with spe-
cial training in environmental control. Hazards and
wastes from research, reactor operation, radiological
procedures and tracer techniques are problems which
are properly the concern of these specialists and re-
quire more qualified persons than are presently available.
Water and wetland resources are under constant
threat of pollution from the sewage of an ever-expanding
population and fr6m the multitude of new chemicals
being developed by our technological society. Han-
dling and disposing of toxic wastes has become one of
the most critical problems facing environmental engi-
neers today.
The importance of atmospheric pollution problems
has led many industries to give increased attention to
this aspect of environmental control. Graduates from
Environmental Engineering Sciences programs are being
called upon by industry to apply their special knowl-
edge in conducting surveys and formulating abatement
programs which will not merely transfer the pollution
from the air to other areas of the environment.
The reasons for this expanding field of opportunity
are due largely to the impact of advancing technology
on modern community living. With each new develop-
ment there has been a period of transition during which
the pollution control specialist has been called upon to
broaden activities to keep pace with progress and new
developments in environmental protection and public
health.
This process of evolution has manifested itself in so
many different aspects of environmental concern that
environmental engineering has become one of the
broadest and most challenging of all careers. Advances
in technology create more demands for environmental
engineers. Every new manufacturing plant, every new
chemical industry new improvements in nuclear sci-
ence and in transportation--ll increase the number
and magnitude of problems for these specialists to
solve.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that the envi-
ronment cannot be sectionalized, but rather it must be
viewed as one continuous entity consisting of air, water,
land, and people. This ecological concept has given
rise to a new approach to environmental problems
known as environmental systems management or sys-
tems ecology. To function in this area, an individual
needs a broad background not only in the basic sci-
ences and engineering but also in medical sciences,
law, economics, and political science. Students in other
fields are encouraged to join with the engineers in this
program by selecting environmental engineering sci-
ences courses and when suitable to undertake master's
and doctoral research at the interface between environ-
mental engineering sciences and their major field.
Historically degree programs in Environmental En-
gineering Sciences have been at the graduate level.
However, responding to the tremendous demand for
people trained in this field, the Department of Environ-
mental Engineering Sciences initiated an undergraduate
degree in 1972. The requirements for this degree,
Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Environmental Engi-
neering), are given below. In addition, the Department
of Chemical Engineering, the Department of Civil Engi-
Sneering, and the Department of Engineering Sciences
permit their students to pursue technical concentration
in Environmental Engineering Sciences. This is accom-
plished through the selection of appropriate technical
elective courses taught by the Department of Environ-
mental Engineering Sciences. Persons with pre-medical
interests can satisfy admission requirements for medical
school with this program and judicious selection of
electives. Students from other departments are also
welcome to take courses in Environmental Engineering
Sciences to the extent allowed by their backgrounds.
Admission Requirements: Applicants should under-
stand that admission to this program is a selective
process. Admission will be based on a student's total
record including educational objectives, courses com-
pleted, quality of academic record, and other important
facts. Priority in admission will be given to those stu-
dents whose potential on the basis of the total record
indicates the greatest likelihood of success in the program.
Successful applicants in the past have had a cumu-
lative grade point average of at least a 2.0 and a "C"
average in pre-engineering technical course sequences.
Degree Programs: The Department of Environmen-
tal Engineering Sciences offers the following degrees:
Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Master of Engineer-
ing, Master of Science, the Engineer degree and Doctor
of Philosophy.

INDUSTRIAL AND SYSTEMS
ENGINEERING
Rapid industrial growth has created unusual oppor-
tunities for the industrial and systems engineer. The
advent of automation and the emphasis on increased
productivity coupled with higher levels of systems so-
phistication are providing impetus to the demand for
the engineering graduate with a broad interdisciplinary
background.
The industrial engineering option prepares the stu-
dent for industrial practice in such areas as product
design, process design, plant operation, production
control, quality control, facilities planning, work sys-
tem analysis and evaluation, and economic analysis of
operational systems.
The systems engineering option emphasizes the
integration of knowledge and technology from the engi-
neering, biological, and physical sciences to carry out
the processes of description, analysis, synthesis, and
optimization in both the industrial and nonindustrial
setting. Furthermore a student in this area learns to
define problems from a broad perspective in which the
contributions of individual components to a total mis-
sion are clearly seen.
Students in both options are trained to use engi-
neering principles in the solution of problems encountered
in environments and situations where a quantitative
basis for decision making is desirable. Such decision
making requires the application of the tools of econom-
ics, operations research, statistics, mathematics, and
engineering analysis, with dependence on the comput-
er. The industrial engineering option equips the student
for professional engineering practice while the systems
engineering option further prepares the student to carry
out analysis and design of large scale operations requir-
ing diversified inputs. Both options provide the training
necessary for admission to graduate study.
Degree programs: The Industrial and Systems Engi-
neering Department offers the following degrees: Bach-
elor of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering,
Master of Engineering, Master of Science, the Engineer
Degree, and Doctor of Philosophy
Admission Requirements: Applicants should under-
stand that admission to this program is a selective
process. Admission will be based on a student's total
record including educational objectives, courses com-
pleted, quality of academic record, and other important
facts. Priority in admission will be given to those stu-
dents whose potential on the basis of the total record
indicates the greatest likelihood of success in the program.
Successful applicants in the past have had a pre-
engineering program grade point average of 2.5 or
higher with at least a 2.5 in technical courses.
Special Grade Requirements: A grade of C or better
is to be earned in each required statistics course and
each required course taught by the Industrial and Sys-
tems Engineering Department in order for that course to
count toward graduation. Students earning less than a C
grade in such a course will be required to repeat the
course as soon as possible. Note that statistics or de-
partmental courses taken as electives do not fall under
this rule.
Probation Policy: The Department and the College
enforce probation politics which are more stringent
than that of the University. College probation occurs
when a student's upper division grade point average
falls below 2.00. A student is automatically placed on
Departmental Probation when his/her upper division
grade point deficit equals or exceeds the following: 15
for 3EG students, 10 for 4EG students, and 5 for 5EG
students. A student who is on Departmental probation
at the start of a term of attendance is expected to rectify
this condition at the end of the same term. In addition,
a student whose term grade point average is less than
2.00 is deemed not to be making satisfactory academic
progress and will be placed on probation. For addition-
al details, consult the Departmental office.
Technical Electives: Normally technical elective credit
is restricted to approved courses in engineering, com-
puter science, mathematics, and statistics. Provision is
also made for receiving up to three credits for approved
industrial employment, for certain sequence of courses
taken as part of advanced ROTC, and for certain ap-
proved business administration courses.

INTERDISCIPLINARY
ENGINEERING STUDIES
Students who wish to plan a program of study in
engineering markedly different from programs described
under the departmental descriptions should consult the
Office of the Associate Dean. Requirements for admis-
sion to such an interdisciplinary studies program in-
clude(l) a strong educational commitment and (b) a
high grade point average, at least 2.5. The program
requires approval of a committee consisting of three
members of the engineering faculty and by the Academic
Dean of the College and must satisfy the minimum
engineering science course requirements. Completion
of the program leads to the B.S. degree.
MATERIALS SCIENCE AND
ENGINEERING
Engineering in all of its branches requires the effec-
tive use of materials. The curriculum in Materials Sci-
ence and Engineering offers preparation in the solving
of problems in the development, manufacture, and
utilization of a broad range of materials. Competence
arises from a firm understanding of the fundamentals of
chemistry mechanics, solid state physics, and structure
of materials. Thus, the Materials Engineer occupies a
unique position between the science and the practice
of engineering, which is advantageous in the wide
variety of avenues of professional development open to
him. Since progress with new engineering concepts is
often dependent upon success in advancing the capa-
bilities of materials, the Materials Engineer is in con-
stant demand in many segments of industry engaged in
production, application, and research on materials and
in private engineering practice. The Bachelor's degree
program provides a general materials science core with
specialization in ceramics, electronic materials, metals,
and polymers.
For the student whose primary interest lies in re-
search, a graduate program leading to advanced de-
grees is provided. The entire offering of courses at both
the undergraduate and graduate levels is designed also
to furnish electives for engineers in other specialties
who desire a more extensive understanding of materials
than is given by the required courses.
Admission Requirements: Applicants should under-
stand that admission to this program is a selective
process. Admission will be based on a student's total
record including educational objectives, courses com-
pleted, quality of academic record, and other important
facts. Priority in admission will be given to those stu-
dents whose potential on the basis of the total record
indicates the greatest likelihood of success in the program.
Successful applicants in the past have had a cumu-
lative grade point average of at least a 2.0 and a "C"
average in pre-engineering technical course sequences.
Degree Programs: The Materials Science and Engi-
neering Department offers the following degrees: Bach-
elor of Science in Engineering (Materials Science and
Engineering), Master of Engineering, Master of Science,
the Engineer degree, and Doctor of Philosophy.

of engineering and science directly concerned with the
release, .control, and safe utilization of nuclear energy.
Applications range over such broad topics as the de-
sign, development, and operation of nuclear reactor
power systems to the applications of radiation in medi-
cine, space, industrial, and other related areas. The
nuclear engineer, by virtue of his/her engineering and
science-based training, is in a unique position to con-
tribute to the many diverse aspects of this major com-
ponent of the energy radiation field.
The Nuclear Engineering Program has sufficient
flexibility so that the proper choice of electives will
allow emphasis in nuclear power technology radiation
safety, health physics, engineering physics, nuclear in-
strumentation, radio-isotope applications, and other spe-
cialized areas. A full complement of experimental facil-
ities are available; major facilities include a 100 KW
research and training reactor, a neutron activation anal-
ysis laboratory a PDP-11 digital computer with multi-
ple terminals and with interface capability with the
main university computing facility (Northeast Regional
Data Center). This department also has plasma and
laser research facilities as well as a large amount of
specialized nuclear instrumentation.
Admission Requirements: Applicants should under-
stand that admission to this program is a selective
process. Admission will be based on a student's total
record including educational objectives, courses com-
pleted, quality of academic record, and other important
facts. Priority in admission will be given to those stu-
dents whose potential on the basis of the total record
indicates the greatest likelihood of success in the program.

COOPERATIVE EDUCATION
PROGRAM
In cooperation with the College of Engineering, a
number of employers participate in a cooperative pro-
gram for engineering education. Students in this pro-
gram alternate terms between study at the University
and supervised learning in selected industrial and gov-
ernment facilities.
Application for the cooperative education program
is made through the University Placement Ofice. Ac-
ceptance is based on the academic standing of the
student and, of course, the availability of a suitable
cooperative assignment. The first and last years of the
degree program are normally completed in residence at
the University. Students in the cooperative program
require at least five years to earn the degree.
Community and junior college students who have
been on a cooperative education program may contin-
ue their arrangement with the same employer with the
approval of the Placement Office.
The periods spent working are intended to be
educational as well as productive. The student gains
experience as an employee through the usual employ-
ment procedures of interviews, job assignments, train-
ing and so on; by receiving pay commensurate with the
assignment; and by receiving assignments of increasing
difficulty to parallel the academic advancement.
Upon assignment to an employer, the cooperative
student becomes a member of a two-person team. The
two team members alternate industrial-assignment peri-
ods with each other, so that the cooperating employer
has continuity in the program.
Immediately priior to each period to be spent in the
job assignment, the student is required to register for
participation in the Cooperative Education Program.
Employers wishing to cooperate in the Cooperative
Education Program should contact the Placement Office.
LIFE SCIENCES, BIOMEDICAL
ENGINEERING, AND
PRE-MEDICAL PROGRAMS
There is a growing need in our society for individu-
als trained in both engineering and life sciences. Quali-
fied individuals so trained will probably find a diversity
of career paths open to them. This preparation particu-
larly suits a candidate for admission to medical school,
but it qualifies him or her equally to pursue an engi-
neering career in the specialized fields of bioengineering
or environmental engineering or to continue education
with graduate study in biomedical engineering or the
life sciences.
Several departments of the College, after consulta-
tion with the College of Medicine, have established
special programs in this field. In general, these are of
the same length as the conventional curriculum and
were achieved by substituting for groupings of electives
eight credits in organic chemistry and eight in zoology.
The student who is interested in these programs should
consult the engineering department adviser at the earli-
est practicable date since certain departments expect
the student to begin work in these specialized areas
early in the undergraduate career.
Environmental Studies Minor
Program
A program for a minor (with certificate) in Environ-
mental Studies is available for anyone with a major in
the following degree programs of the College of
Engineering:
Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Agricultural
Engineering)
Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering
Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Engineering Science)
Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Bachelor of Science (Nuclear Engineering Sciences)
The program is designed to be of interest to stu-
dents concerned with environmental issues. Electives
can be structured around an environmental theme,
giving experience in an area that may expand career
opportunities and make education more meaningful.
Students electing to participate in the Environmen-
tal Studies Minor Program would need to fulfill all
college and departmental requirements for the degree
program and in the Environmental Studies such that the
requirements for the minor program are satisfied. These
electives would consist of a minimum of 14 semester
hours of environmental courses, at least one from each
of the biological, physical and social sciences with a
minimum of 6 semester hours in one.
The College of Engineering also offers a curriculum
leading to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Envi-
ronmental Engineering) administered by the Depart-
ment of Environmental Engineering Sciences. Students
fulfilling the requirements for this degree would gener-
ally satisfy all requirements for the Environmental Stud-
ies Certificate. These students will be awarded the
certificate if they choose to request one.
Students interested in the minor should check with
the Environmental Studies Office in 210 Bartram West
and register their intended course of study to insure that
the certificate will be received upon graduation.
FLORIDA ENGINEERING AND
INDUSTRIAL EXPERIMENT
STATION
The Florida Engineering and Industrial Experiment
Station has developed a national and international rep-
utation for excellence in research. Its most important
contributions are (1) prosecution of research for the
benefit of the State's industries, health, welfare, and
public service, and (2) the intangible values offered to
students participating in research projects while attaining
their education.
Such opportunities bring the students into direct
contact with the research specialists who constitute the
faculty the same faculty serve both the Station and
the College. Not only do the students assist the profes-
sors working on specific research problems, but in
many cases they make a direct contribution in meeting
the great technological challenges of this era through
research. The students thereby profit immeasurably from
their association with the engineering faculty engaged
in research projects and from the opportunity to use the
principles of engineering for the solution of fundamen-
tal and applied problems.
All facilities of the College -are available for
instructional and research purposes. Whenever feasi-
ble, students are given an opportunity to observe and
participate in research projects of the Station. Students
who may benefit by additional laboratory work and
who have the necessary educational experience may be
given special permission to carry on individual research
projects. Graduate students may select fundamental
problems under investigation in the research projects of
the Station for the subject matter of theses that are
required for the graduate degrees in engineering.

be given to those applicants whose potential indicates
the greatest likelihood of success in the program
requested.
University of Florida Students Classified UF: To be
eligible for admission to the College of Fine Arts stu-
dents are expected to have: 1) a minimum average of C
or higher in the courses required by the appropriate
curriculum specified for Freshman and Sophomore years;
2) passed all required preprofessional courses within
those two years with a minimum grade average of C.
Admission to programs restricting enrollment because
of space limitations may require that the student earn
higher than the 2.0 (C) average minimum, and; 3) have
taken and passed the College Level Academic Skills
Test (see the Index.)
On occasion, departments will recommend that
COLLEGES
certain students be admitted to the college prior to the
completion of all freshman and sophomore require-
ments. Students should consult departmental academic
advisers regarding the appropriate time to initiate a
change of college request.
Minimum grades required in certain courses and
other special requirements (portfolio review) may be
required in some areas for admission to various curricu-
la in the College of Fine Arts. This information may be
obtained from the Department or Dean's Office.
Transfer Students: To be eligible for admission to
the College of Fine Arts, a transfer student must satisfy
the minimum requirements for admission as specified

sity. Students are admitted to the program following
completion of a satisfactory audition in Performance
or a portfolio review in Production.
Provisional Admission: The professional programs
of the College demand that preprofessional coursework
begin with the Freshman year. Realizing that some
schools may not ofer all such courses, the College
occasionally provides an opportunity for admissable
students to remove these deficiencies. Qualified trans-
fer students, indicating potential but not having com-
pleted all preprofessional prerequisites, may be admit-
ted provisionally based upon space available. Due to
limitations in space and faculty all qualified students
may not be admissable. Students admitted provisionally
will register for the courses necessary to eliminate
deficiencies in the shortest time possible. Until these
deficiencies are removed they will be required to main-
tain a C (2.0) average to be eligible for continued
registration and must follow a specified program.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
REGISTRATION
The normal course load in this College is 15 credit
hours in any regular semester, and all students are
expected to carry a normal load. A student who wishes
to carry fewer than 12 hours or more than 18 hours
must get approval from the departmental adviser and
the Dean at the time of registration.
NORMAL ACADEMIC
PROGRESS
Students maintain normal academic progress by
earning a minimum grade point of 2.0 (C) average for
all work attempted while classified in the College. That
is, the term "average" as used here refers to the aver-
age on work attempted after the student is classified
"FA" and not the cumulative grade point average as
established by the University. In addition, students are
required to take courses in a sequence as specified by
the department chairman or adviser. Students may be
excluded from a program of study in the College if they
fail or refuse to maintain normal academic progress.
DEAN'S HONOR LIST
Undergraduate students who demonstrate excel-
lence in their academic work by completing a mini-
mum of 12 hours credit in a term and achieving a grade
point average of 3.5 or better will earn a position on
