it, students must apply to the dean of the gradu-
ate school of their home campus.

Undergraduate Interinstitutional
Registration Program
 The Undergraduate Interinstitutional Regis-
tration Program enables students at State Uni-
versity System institutions to take advantage of
special resources and programs available on
another campus in the system but not available
at their home institution, e.g., special course
offerings, research opportunities, unique labora-
tories, overseas study programs, and library col-
lections. Course work taken under the
Undergraduate Interinstitutional Registration
Program will be accepted for credit at the stu-
dent's home institution. Students must be rec-
ommended to participate in the program by
their own academic dean, who will initiate a
visiting arrangement with the appropriate dean
at the host institution.

Medical Immunizations
Requirement
 Each student accepted for admission shall
submit, prior to registration, proof of immuniza-
tion for the two shot measles requirement and
the one shot rubella requirement. When the
application for admission is approved, a form to
complete and return will be forwarded to the
student. No student will be allowed to register
until the Office of Admissions has received
the form and it has been forwarded to and
approved by the University Student Health
Service.

Admission as a Freshman
Applicants who have never attended college -
Please note: Students who have enrolled as
early admits at other postsecondary institutions
are not considered freshmen at the University of
Florida and must apply to the university as
transfer students.

 When to Apply: The best time to apply is
the early part of the senior year in secondary
school. Fall term priority will be provided to
qualified applicants whose applications and
supporting records are received in the Office of
Admissions prior to January 31. Applications
for the fall class received February 1 and after
will be considered on a space-available basis
only. The deadlines for receipt of applications
for other terms are listed in the university calen-
dar.
 Admission of students is selective. Because
of the availability of community colleges and
other state universities in Florida, the Board of
Regents has instructed the University of Florida
to limit the number of entering freshmen. Stu-
dents may apply for admission to upper divi-
sion and professional schools of the university
after attending community colleges or other
universities and by transferring to the universi-
ty's upper division colleges in accordance with
admissions standards.


 The requirements for admission set forth
below give priority to those applicants whose
record indicates the greatest likelihood of suc-
cess in the lower division program at the Uni-
versity of Florida.

is urged to submit an application. The universi-
ty will do everything possible to accept all qual-
ified applicants who apply before the
application deadline. If the number of qualified
applicants exceeds the number that the universi-
ty is permitted to enroll, admission will be selec-
tive. An applicant's total high school record

tive and pattern of courses completed, rank in

 Composite pictures of the Scholastic Apti-
tude Test (SAT) results of recent freshman class-
es at the University of Florida indicate that more
than 50 percent score 500 or above on the verbal
section and more than 75 percent score 500 or
above on the math section. In addition, more
than 50 percent of each entering class has
earned a B+ or better average in high school
academic subjects. While there is no minimum
grade average or test score which will assure
admission or success in college, prospective
applicants are urged to discuss these data with
their school counselors before applying to the
University of Florida.

Requirements for Admission -
Non-Florida Residents
 Because of the limited number of entering
freshmen in the fall class, only a small number
of highly qualified students from states other
than Florida may be admitted.
