GENERAL REGULATIONS / 7 Postbaccalaureate students may enroll in graduate courses but the work taken will not normally be trans- ferred to the graduate record if the student is subse- quently admitted to the Graduate School. By petition in clearly justified cases and in conformance with regula- tions on courses and credit, it is possible to transfer up to but no more than six semester hours of course work earned with a grade of A, B +, or B. Students in the College of Education who desire postbaccalaureate classification to obtain teacher certifi- cation must provide the college with a clear statement of certification goals as a part of the requirements for admission. Interested students should write to 134 Norman Hall or call 392-0721 for further information. FACULTY MEMBERS AS GRADUATE STUDENTS University of Florida faculty, as designated by the Florida Administrative Code, may not pursue graduate degrees from this institution. Exceptions are made for the Florida Cooperative Extension Service (IFAS) county per- sonnel and the faculty of the P.K. Yonge Laboratory School. Under certain conditions, persons in sub-faculty posi- tions (i.e., those holding titles of Assistant In or Associate In) may pursue nonthesis master's degrees at the Univer- sity of Florida. Any other exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Graduate Council. STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM PROGRAMS Traveling Scholar Program.-The State University System affords, under the Traveling Scholar Program, an opportunity for graduate students to take courses or con- duct research activities at any of the universities in the State System. Course work taken under the auspices of the Traveling Scholar Program at another university in the State System will apply for graduate credit at the stu- dent's home campus. The deans of the graduate schools of the state universities are the coordinators of the pro- gram, and interested students should contact the dean of the graduate school on their home campus for addi- tional information. Cooperative Degree Programs.-In certain degree pro- grams, faculty from other universities in the State Uni- versity System hold graduate faculty status at the Univer- sity of Florida. In those approved areas, the intellectual resources of these external graduate faculty members are available to students at the University of Florida. GENERAL REGULATIONS It is the responsibility of the graduate student to become informed and to observe all regulations and procedures required by the program the student is pur- suing. The student must be familiar with those sections of the Graduate Catalog that outline general regulations and requirements, specific degree program requirements, and the offerings and requirements of the major depart- ment. Ignorance of a rule does not constitute a basis for waiving that rule. Any exceptions to the policies stated in the Graduate Catalog must be approved by the Dean for Graduate Studies and Research. After admission to the Graduate School, but before the first registration, the student should consult the college and/or the graduate coordinator in the major department concerning courses and degree requirements, defi- ciencies if any, and special regulations of the department. The dean of the college in which the degree program is located or a representative must approve all regis- trations. STUDY LOADS The University of Florida operates on a semester system consisting of two 15-week periods and two 6-week sum- mer terms. A credit under the semester system is equal to 1.5 quarter credits. Maximum registration for a full-time graduate student is 18 credits. Minimum registration for a full-time graduate student is 12 credits. The maximum and minimum regis- trations are reduced for those students who are graduate assistants or are otherwise employed. Guidelines for the maximum and minimum registration for students on appointment are provided in the Graduate Coordinator's Manual. Any student on appointment who wishes to register for more than the maximum or less than the minimum credits must have the written permission of the Dean for Graduate Studies and Research. Students not on appointment are assumed to be full- time and must register for a minimum of 12 credits. Part- time status may be approved by the graduate coordinator for students who are not pursuing a degree on a full-time basis. Such exceptions must be clearly justified and the approved registration must be commensurate with the use of University facilities and faculty time. COURSES AND CREDITS Undergraduate courses (1000-2999) may not be used as any part of the graduate degree requirements. Undergraduate courses (3000-4999) may be used for minor credit when taken as part of an approved graduate program. Courses numbered 5000 andabove are limited to graduate students, with the exception described under Undergraduate Registration in Graduate Courses. Courses numbered 7000 and above are designed pri- marily for advanced graduate students. No more than five hours each of 6910 (Supervised Research) and 6940 (Supervised Teaching) may be taken by a graduate student at the University of Florida. A complete list of approved graduate courses appears in the section of this Catalog entitled Fields of Instruc- tion. Departments reserve the right to decide which of these graduate courses will be offered in a given semester and the departments should be consulted concerning available courses. Correspondence Work.-No courses taken by cor- respondence may be used for graduate credit. Extension Work.-No extension courses may be used for graduate credit except in programs for the M.Ag., M.Ed., M.A.E., M.A.T., M.S.T., M.H.Ed., M.P.E., and Ed.S. degrees. Extension work taken at another insti- tution, except through the Board of Regents Office of Continuing Education, may not be transferred to the University of Florida for graduate credit. State Centers for Continuing Education.-Course work is available in the graduate residence centers established in the state. The amount of credit acceptable for transfer to a degree program varies according to the degree sought. Residence center work is not transferable to all degree programs and the student should consult the requirements for specific degrees in this Catalog for additional information.
