GENERAL REGULATIONS /9


STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

 The University of Florida does not discriminate on the
basis of disability in the recruitment and admission of
students, in the recruitment and employment of faculty and
staff, or in the operation of any of its programs and activities,
as specified byfederal laws and regulations. The designated
coordinator for compliance with Section 504 of the Reha-
bilitation Act of 1973, as amended,and the Americans with
Disabilities Act(ADA) is Kenneth J. Osfield, Assistant Dean
for Student Services, 202 Peabody Hall, 392-1261.
 The Office of Student Services provides assistance for
students with disabilities. Services are varied dependingon
individual needs and include, but are not limited to, special
campus orientation, registration assistance, help in secur-
ing auxiliary learning aids, and assistance in general Uni-
versity activities. Students with disabilities are encouraged
to contact this office.


CONDITIONAL ADMISSION

 Students who are not eligible for direct admission may be
 granted conditional admission to the Graduate School.
 Students may be granted conditional admission to defer
 final admission decisions until requisite examination scores
 or final grade records are available. Students may also be
 granted conditional admission to ascertain their ability to
 pursue graduate work atthe University of Florida if previous
 grade records or Graduate Record Examination scores are
 on the borderline of acceptability or when specific prereq-
 uisite courses are required.
 Students granted conditional admission should be noti-
 fied by the department of the conditions under which they
 are admitted. When these conditions have been satisfied,
 the department must notify the student in writing, sending
 a copy to the Graduate School. Eligible course work taken
 while a student is in conditional status is applicable toward
 a graduate degree.
 Students failing to meet any condition of admission will
 be barred from further registration.



 POSTBACCALAUREATE STUDENTS

 Students who have received a bachelor's degree but have
 not been admitted to the Graduate School are classified as
 postbaccalaureate students (6-). Postbaccalaureate en-
 rollment is offered for the following reasons: (1) to provide
 a means for students not seeking a graduate degreeto enroll
 in courses-included in this category would be students
 who change their professional goals or wish to expand their
 academic backgrounds and (2) to accommodate students
 who do intendto enter a graduate program at some future
 date, but need a substantial number of prerequisite courses.
 Postbaccalaureate students mayenroll ingraduate courses
 but the work taken will not normally be transferred to the
 graduate record if the student is subsequently admitted to
 the Graduate School. By petition in clearly justified cases
 and in conformance with regulations on courses and credit,
 it is possible to transfer up to but no more than two courses
 totaling six to eight semester hours of course work earned
 with a grade of A, B+, or B.


 Students in the College of Education who desire postbac-
calaureateclassification to obtain teacher certification must
provide the college with a clear statement of certification
goals as a part of the requirements for admission. Interested
students should writeto 134 Norman Hall or call 392-0721
for further information.
