FACULTY MEMBERS AS GRADUATE
STUDENTS
 University of Florida faculty, as designated by the
Florida Administrative Code, may not pursue gradu-
ate degrees from this institution. Exceptions are made
for the Florida Cooperative Extension Service (IFAS)'
county personnel and the faculty of the P.K. Yonge
Laboratory School.
 Under certain conditions, persons in sub-faculty
positions (i.e., those holding titles of Assistant In or
Associate In) may pursue nonthesis master's degrees
at the University of Florida. Any other exceptions to
this policy must be approved by the Graduate Coun-
cil.

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 conduct research activities at any of the universities
in the State System. Course work taken under the aus-
pices of the Traveling Scholar Program at another uni-
versity in the State System will apply for graduate
credit at the student's home campus. Traveling schol-
ars are normally limited to one term on the campus of
the host university. The deans of 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 additional information.
 Cooperative Degree Programs.-In certain degree
 programs, faculty from other universities in the State
 University System hold graduate faculty status at the
 University of Florida. In those approved areas, the in-
 tellectual 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
 pursuing..The student must be familiar with those
 sections of the Graduate Catalog that outline general
 regulations and requirements, specific degree pro-
 gram requirements, and the offerings and require-
 ments of the major department. 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 require-
ments, deficiencies 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 registrations.

STUDENT CONDUCT
 Graduate students are subject to the same rules of
behavior that govern undergraduates. The student
conduct code is printed in the Undergraduate
Catalog.

STUDY LOADS
 The University of Florida operates on a semester
system consisting of two 15-week periods and two 6-
week summer terms. A credit under the semester sys-
tem is equal to 1.5 quarter credits.
 Minimum registration for a full-time graduate stu-
dent is 12 credits. The minimum registration is re-
duced for those students who are graduate assistants
or are otherwise employed. Guidelines for minimum
registration for students on appointment are provided
in the Graduate Coordinator's Manual. Any student
on appointment who wishes to register for less than
the minimum credits must have the written per-
mission of the Dean for Graduate Studies and Re-
search.
 Full-time students, not on appointment, must reg-
ister 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 ap-
proved registration must be commensurate with the
use of University facilities and faculty time.
 The minimum study load for students not on as-
 sistantship is three credits during Fall and Spring
Semesters and two for Summer C.


COURSES AND CREDITS
 Undergraduate courses (1000-2999) may not be
 used as any part of the graduate degree requirements,
 including the requirement for a period of concen--
 trated study. Undergraduate courses (3000-4999) may
 be used for minor credit when taken as part of an ap-
 proved graduate program.
 Courses numbered 5000 and above are limited to
 graduate students, with the exception described un-
 der 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 Flor-
 ida.
 A complete list of approved graduate courses ap-
 pears in the section of this Catalog entitled Fields of
 Instruction. Departments reserve the right to decide
 which of these graduate courses will be offered in a
 given semester and the departments should be con-
 sulted 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 in-
