BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION option is in addition to courses which are taught only on a S-U basis. Courses taken to fulfill com- munication or computation requirements (Gor- don Rule) may not be taken S-U. For fall, spring and summer C terms, the deadline for electing the S-U option is 4:00 p.m., Friday, during the third week of classes. For summer A and summer B terms, the deadline is 4:00 p.m., Wednesday, during the second week of classes. Once the S-U option is approved, stu- dents may not elect to convert back to a letter grade. COURSE PREREQUISITES: The college enforces course prerequisites. A current/revised list of prerequisites for each term may be obtained from the Undergraduate Programs Office located in room 201 of the New Business Building. The deadline for submitting prerequi- site waivers is the last day of preregistration for the following semester. In addition, students are required to com- plete, or be in the process of completing, all 3000-level core courses before registering for 4000-level major field courses. Students must also complete all other core courses and have senior standing (4BA) before they will be allowed to register for MAN 4720. Students who will have difficulty following this policy should contact an academic adviser in room 201 of the New Business Building. SUMMER ATTENDANCE: Students having fewer than 60 semester hours at the time of their first enrollment in a State University System institution must earn at least 9 semester hours prior to graduation by attending one or more summer sessions at a state university. Petitions for waivers of this requirement may be submit- ted for justified health, academic, or financial reasons, but must include documentation. INTERNSHIPS: Students are encouraged to take part in an internship program between their junior and senior years. Students desiring academic credit for an internship program should contact the internship coordinator for their department. Academic credit for intern- ship programs is offered only under the S-U option and no academic credit will be awarded for an internship taken in a student's final semester prior to graduation. Internships are also available through the college's Center for Retail Education and Research. FREE ELECTIVES: Electives may be taken within or outside of the College of Business Administration, but must be taken outside the major field; the college encourages students to take these courses outside the college. A maxi- mum of 6 semester hours (3 for Computer and Information Sciences majors) of CLEP, Advanced Placement or 1000 and 2000 level mil- itary science courses may be used as electives. A maximum of 6 semester hours in advanced mili- tary science courses may be used as electives. No credit will be awarded for cooperative edu- cation courses. International Opportunities The College of Business Administration believes that knowledge of the global market- place is vital for managers who will lead Ameri- can corporations into the 21st century. An excellent way to obtain such knowledge is to study abroad for a semester or a full academic year. The college has established exchange agreements with numerous foreign universities. These programs allow U.F. students to study abroad for a semester or a full academic year and to count the credits earned as part of their degree..The college is also a member of several international consortia that expand the range of opportunities for foreign study even more. Par- ticipants in these approved programs can receive financial aid as if they were studying in Gainesville, can count summer courses taken abroad as part of their summer study obliga- tion, can study abroad during the last 30 hours of their programs, and can, with careful plan- ning and prior approval, count course work taken abroad as part of their major or core requirements. Interested students should con- sult with Dr. R. Crum, Director of International Programs, 108 Bryan Hall.
