GENERAL REGULATIONS /9 Florida may enroll in graduate-level courses (5000 and 6000 level) if the student has senior standing and an upper-division grade-point average of at least 3.0. After a student has been accepted in the Graduate School, up to six hours of graduate-level courses earned with a grade of A, B+, or B taken under this provision may be applied toward a graduate degree at the University of Florida provided credit for the course has not been used for an undergraduate degree and provided the transfer is ap- proved by the department and made as soon as the student is admitted to a graduate program. CONCURRENT GRADUATE PROGRAMS A graduate student who wishes to pursue degrees in two programs concurrently must have the written approval of the chairperson of each department involved and the Dean of the Graduate School. Any student interested in pursuing concurrent degrees should discuss the proposed study with the Graduate School's Student Records staff prior to applying for the programs. If the request is approved, the student must be officially admitted to both programs through regular procedures. If the student is approved to pursue two master's programs, no more than six hours of course work from one degree program may be applied toward meeting the requirements for the second master's degree. These six hours must be by petition to the Dean of the Graduate School. INFORMATION FOR VETERANS The University of Florida is approved for the education and training of veterans under all public laws in effect; i.e., Chapter 31, Title 38, U.S. Code (Disabled Veterans); Chapter 34, Title 38, U.S. Code (Cold-War G.I. Bill); and Chapter 35, Title 38, U.S. Code (Children of Deceased or Disabled Veterans). Students who may be eligible for educational benefits under any Veterans Administration program are urged to contact the Veterans Affairs Office, 124 Tigert Hall, as soon as they are accepted for admission. Students expecting to receive benefits under one of these programs must file an application with the Office of the Registrar. No certification can be made until the application is on file. Benefits are determined by the Veterans Administration, and the University certifies according to these rules and regulations. The Registrar's Office maintains students' academic records. A progress report is sent to each student at the end of the term indicating grades, cumulative hours, grade points, etc. UNSATISFACTORY SCHOLARSHIP Any graduate student may be denied further registra- tion in the University or in a graduate program should scholastic performance or progress toward completion of the planned program become unsatisfactory to the de- partmenrt, college, or Dean of the Graduate School. Failure to maintain a B average in all work attempted is, by definition, unsatisfactory scholarship. CHANGE OF MAJOR OR COLLEGE A graduate student who wishes to change major or college must make formal application through the Office of the Registrar and receive approval of the appropriate department chairperson, college dean, and the Dean of the Graduate School. Deadline dates for such changes as specified in the current University Calendar must be met. FOREIGN LANGUAGE EXAMINATION A.foreign language examination is not required for all degree programs and the student should contact the graduate coordinator in the appropriate department for specific information regarding any requirement of a for- eign language. If a department requires that a student meet the foreign language requirement by satisfactory performance on the Graduate School Foreign Language Tests (GSFLT) in French, Spanish, or German, the student should contact the Office of Instructional Resources, 1012 Turlington Hall, for applications and payments of fees. The examina- tion times and dates are listed in the University Calendar. Educational Testing Service (ETS) no longer administers this examination and does not accept application fees or issue tickets of admission for these tests. EXAMINATIONS The student must be registered for an appropriate load during the semester in which any examination is taken. The student's supervisory committee is responsible for the administration of the written and oral qualifying examina- tions as well as the final oral examination for the defense of the thesis, project, or dissertation. All members of the supervisory committee must sign the appropriate forms, including the signature pages, in order for the student to satisfy the requirements of the examination. Qualifying and final examinations for graduate stu- dents are to be held on the University of Florida campus. Exceptions to this policy are made only for Certain gradu- ate students whose examinations are administered at the Agricultural Research and Educational Centers or on the campuses of the universities in the State University System that are approved for cooperative graduate degree pro- grams. These exceptions must be justified by individual petitions to the Dean of the Graduate School.

Deadline dates are set forth in the University Calendar and by the college, school, or department. Regular issues of Deadline Dates,are available each semester.
