All docu- ments must be accompanied by certified English translations. Postbaccalaureate Applicant Proper transcripts of academic records cov- ering all university-level work. These docu- ments must be accompanied by certified English translations. Graduate Applicant Proper transcripts of academic records cov- ering all university-level work.

Test Score Requirements Except as noted below, all international stu- dents seeking admission to the University of Florida are required to submit satisfactory scores of 550 or higher on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). International students whose native tongue is English or who have studied at a United States high school, college, or university for one year or more are not required to submit TOEFL scores but must submit satisfactory scores on an appropriate admissions test. Students who enter the university as fresh- men or sophomores (less than 60 hours of cred- it) must submit Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or American College Test (ACT) scores before their application for admission will be consid- ered. Graduate applicants must submit scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). In some cases, students educated in coun- tries other than the United States where the GRE is not available who apply for admission to graduate study while residing outside the Unit- ed States may be granted, on the basis of hard- ship, a one term postponement of the GRE but NOT the TOEFL. Permission to register for sub- sequent terms will depend upon the submission of scores on the Graduate Record Examination. All international students applying for admission to the Master of Business Adminis- tration (MBA) program must submit satisfacto- ry scores on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) before their applica- tion for admission can be considered. TOEFL information and registration forms are available in many locations outside the Unit- ed States; usually at U.S. embassies and con- sulates, at offices of the United States Information Agency, from U.S. educational commissions and foundations, at Binational Centers, and from many private organizations such as the Institute of International Education (lIE), America-Mideast Education and Training Services, Inc. (AMIDEAST), African American Institute (AAI), and the American-Korean Foun- dation. Candidates who cannot obtain informa- tion locally on TOEFL, GRE, GMAT, or SAT should write: Educational Testing Service, Princeton, NJ 08540, U.S.A. Application Fee Each application for admission must be accompanied by a nonrefundable application fee of $20 (U.S. currency and drawn on a U.S. bank). An application will not be processed without the application fee. If you find it diffi- cult to submit the application fee because of cur- rency restrictions in your country, we suggest that you request a friend or relative in the Unit- ed States to submit the fee on your behalf. Academic Records Consideration of an application for admis- sion cannot be given until ALL required creden- tials as indicated in the section APPLYING FOR ADMISSION are received by the Office of Admissions. All documents must be accompa- nied by certified English translations and become the property of the university. Creden- tials of applicants who do not enroll will be destroyed and cannot be returned or forwarded elsewhere. IMPORTANT: Send all applications and credentials to the Office of Admissions, P. O. Box 2946, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32602-2946, U.S.A. Notice of Admission - If a student's application for admission to the University of Florida is approved, an official notice of acceptance will be sent by the universi- ty. Admission is for a SPECIFIC term. If a stu- dent is unable to enroll for the term indicated in the notice of acceptance, the Office of Admis- sions should be informed immediately. If the student wishes to be considered for entrance to a different term, the Office of Admissions must be advised. Under no circumstances should an applicant make definite plans to depart for Gainesville until officially notified by the uni- versity that approval has been given to the application for admission. A student who comes to campus without first receiving an official notice of acceptance does so entirely at his or her own risk. The student's presence on campus will not influence the decision on an application for admission. Because of the limited resources available in terms of faculty, staff, and physical facilities, only those international students who submit superior academic records can be approved for admission. Readmissions Application for Readmission The information contained in this section applies only to students who have been previ- ously admitted and who have attended the Uni- versity of Florida. Former undergraduate students who do not enroll at the university for two consecutive terms, including summer, must apply for read- mission. Readmission, however, is not guaran- teed and is subject to the availability of space at the appropriate level in the desired college or major. Students who skip a single term will be scheduled automatically for a registration appointment for one additional term only. How to Apply for Readmission: An appli- cant should request application forms from the Office of Admissions, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, 32611-2058. Forms and directions vary with the level of readmission. In the request, applicants should indicate the col- lege and the level of last enrollment at the Uni- versity of Florida as well as the college and level to which they wish to apply. Applications must be received in the Office of Admissions by the deadline for the term as published in the univer- sity calendar. Satisfactory Academic Record Applicants must be eligible to return to the University of Florida. If applicants have attend- ed any college or university since last enrolled at the University of Florida, they must also have an average of C or higher (as computed by the University of Florida) on all work attempted at each institution. (Note: Grades received at other institutions are not averaged with grades received at the University of Florida for the purpose of meeting university grade-point average requirements.) Students must list all institutions attended and provide complete offi- cial transcripts from each. Failure to declare attendance at another institution could invali- date admission and any credits or degrees earned. Applicants must also be in good stand- ing and eligible to return to each institution pre- viously attended. Applicants for readmission must meet the current admission requirements of the college or school they expect to enter. Readmission is not guaranteed and is subject to the availability of space at the appropriate level in the desired college or major. (Consult the appropriate col- lege section of the catalog for specific admission requirements.) While grades earned at other institutions may be considered when readmission decisions are made, such grades are not averaged with grades received at the University of Florida for purposes of meeting grade point average requirements. Satisfactory Conduct Record Applicants must present a satisfactory record of conduct. Regardless of other qualifica- tions, applicants who have experienced major or continuing difficulties with school or other authorities since the last enrollment at the Uni- versity of Florida may find their application for readmission denied.
