AGRICULTURE dent's academic record justifies this. Students may register for less than 12 hours, but should be aware that certain university privileges and benefits require the minimum of 12 hours. It is the student's responsibility to verify the mini- mum course load for these benefits. RESIDENCE: The last 30 semester hours to be applied toward the degree must be complet- ed in residence in the College of Agriculture. In special cases this requirement may be waived by the dean's office. Students may complete 12 semester credit hours by extension or corre- spondence among the 30 semester credits of res- idence work required for the baccalaureate degree but such work must have prior approval by the major department and the college dean for each course taken. Credit for work by corre- spondence will not be accepted by the college unless a student has an upper division grade point average of 2.0 or higher in all work attempted in residence. TRANSFER CREDIT: Credit hours for work completed at a community college after the stu- dent has earned a total of 64 semester hours (or 96 quarter hours) of acceptable credit at all insti- tutions attended will not be accepted for trans- fer credit at the University of Florida. The courses represented by such credit hours will be recorded on the student's University of Florida record and may be used to satisfy experience requirements, but such courses will not reduce the number of credit hours required in the upper division at the University of Florida to earn a degree. SATISFACTORY-UNSATISFACTORY GRADE OPTION: With approval of the dean, an undergraduate student in the College of Agri- culture may take on the S-U basis only those courses which will be counted as electives in fulfilling the requirements for the degree. PROBATION AND SUSPENSION: Students who do not make satisfactory academic progress and drop 15 deficit grade points below a 2.0 average will be suspended for one term and then may return for a term but must lower their deficit below 15 points or face final suspen- sion. DROP POLICY: Courses may be dropped during the drop/add period without penalty. Thereafter, courses may be dropped only by College of Agriculture petition until a deadline for college petitions is reached. Drops requiring College of Agriculture petitions are subject to the following rules: * Two free drops after the university drop/add period will be permitted for a student classified as 1AG or 2AG. Students classified as 3AG, 4AG, 6AG, and OAG are allowed one free drop. These drops will be processed according to the student's classi- fication. Records of free drops will be maintained in the dean's office; therefore all drops must be processed through that office. After the college deadline, students must make an appointment with the dean. A petition will be completed and presented to the college petitions committee. Students dropping their full course load must contact the Office of the University Registrar, as this constitutes withdrawal from the university. WITHDRAWAL POLICY: If a College of Agriculture student withdraws from the univer- sity a second time, that student will be placed on college probation. A third withdrawal will constitute violation of the probation and the stu- dent will not be allowed to register again as a student in the College of Agriculture. Agriculture: Lower Division Students planning to enter the College of Agriculture should take, while in lower divi- sion, the following program of study. The sequence in which courses are to be taken will depend upon the department in which a stu- dent takes his or her upper division major and will be determined by departmental advisers in the College of Agriculture. GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENT The University-wide General Education Requirement is described in the Lower Division section of this catalog.
