ADMISSION TO THE

GRADUATE SCHOOL

 Application for Admission.-Admission forms and
information concerning admission procedures may
be obtained from the Registrar and Admissions Of-
fice, 135 Tigert Hall. Prospective students are urged to
apply for admission as early as possible. For some de-
partments deadlines for receipt of admission applica-
tions 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 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 re-
sources limit the number of students that can be ad-
mitted.
 General Requirements.-The Graduate School,
 University of Florida, requires both a minimum grade
 average of B for all upper-division undergraduate
 work and a minimum Verbal-Quantitative total score
 of 1000 on the Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record
 Examination. For some departments, and in more ad-
 vanced 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 re-

 quire a reading knowledge of at least one foreign lan-
 guage. Exceptions to the above requirements are
 made only when these and other criteria including
 letters of recommendation are reviewed by the de-
 partment, recommended by the department, and ap-
 proved by the Dean for Graduate Studies and Re-
 search.
 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 Regis-
 trar, and no transcript will be accepted as official un-
 less it is received directly from the registrar of the in-
 stitution in which the work was done. Official sup-
 plementary 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 admit-
 ting 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 applications and meet other criteria re-
 quired by the University, including excellent letters of
 recommendation from colleagues, satisfactory per-
 formance in a specified number of graduate courses
 taken as postbaccalaureate students, and/or practical
 experience in the discipline for a specified period of
 time.
 The University encourages applications from quali-
 fied applicants of both sexes from all cultural, racial,
