ADMISSION TO THE

GRADUATE SCHOOL

 Application for Admission.-Admission forms and
 information concerning admission procedures may be


obtained from the Registrar and Admissions Office, 135
Tigert Hall. Prospective students are urged to apply for
admission as early as possible. For some departments
deadlines for receipt of admission applications may be
earlier than those stated in the current University Calen-
dar; prospective students should check with the appro-
priate department. Applications which meet minimum
standards are referred to the graduate selection commit-
tees of the various colleges and departments for approval
or disapproval.
 To be admitted to graduate study in a given depart-
 ment, the prospective student must satisfy the re-
quirements of the 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, Uni-
versity of Florida, requires both a minimum grade average
of B for all upper-division undergraduate work and a
minimum Verbal-Quantitative total score of 1000 on the
.Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record Examination. For
some departments, and in more advanced levels of
graduate study, an undergraduate average or Graduate
Record Examination scores above those stated for the
Graduate School may be required. These criteria are on
file in the Office of the Graduate School. Some colleges
and departments require a reading knowledge of at least
one foreign language. Exceptions to the above require-
ments are made only when these and other criteria
including letters of recommendation are reviewed by the
department, recommended by the department, and
approved by the Dean for Graduate Studies and
Research.
 Unqualified admission to the Graduate School is de-
 pendent 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 transcripts 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 graduate study in any
 unit of the University.
 The Board of Regents has also ruled that in admitting
 students for a given academic year, up to 10% may be
 admitted as exceptions. Students admitted as exceptions
 under the 10% waiver rule must present both an upper-
 division grade point average and Graduate Record
 Examination Aptitude Test Score with their application
 and meet other criteria required by the University, includ-
 ing excellent letters of recommendation from trusted col-
 leagues, satisfactory performance in a specified number
 of graduate courses taken as postbaccalaureate students,
 or practical experience in the discipline for a specified
 period of time.
 The University encourages applications from qualified
 applicants of both sexes from all cultural, racial, religious,
 and ethnic groups. The University does not discriminate
 on the basis of handicap or age in admission or access
 to its programs and activities.

 ADMISSIONS EXAMINATIONS
 Graduate Record Examination.-In addition to the
 Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record Examination which
 is required of all applicants, some departments encourage
