Academic Advising Mission The University of Florida is committed to quality academic advising for all students. The academic advising mission is to assist students in the attainment of their educational goals. Academic advising is available to help students coordinate their educational program and career objectives commensurate with their abilities. University Responsibilities: The faculty, administration and staff of the University of Florida share a responsibility to provide accu- rate information and effective advisement to students. The University of Florida, through the Office of the Provost, is responsible for provid- ing students, faculty and other advising staff with accurate information in the catalog, sched- ule of courses and other publications. The university, through the Academic Advising Center, is responsible for acting as an information and referral center to provide fac- ulty advisers and students with timely and accurate information on university-wide requirements, policies, procedures and referrals to appropriate services. College/School and Department Responsibili- ties: The dean of each college or school ulti- mately is responsible for ensuring that adequate advisement is available and accessible to all stu- dents within the college or school. Student Responsibilities: Students ultimately are responsible for knowing and fulfilling all university, college and major requirements for graduation, as stated in the catalog. Universal Tracking UF has implemented a Universal Tracking Program that provides each student with a detailed plan for graduation. This tracking audit includes information on what the student has already accomplished academically and what I -T the student needs to accomplish in order to graduate. Each fall and spring semester a student receives an updated tracking report on progress toward the degree. This tracking audit identifies the courses and requirements that should be completed each semester. Thus, universal track- ing helps students stay on-track for graduation from the University of Florida. A student's academic classification at the university reflects the college from which the student intends to graduate. Early affiliation with a college enables the university to provide the best academic advising possible from the college offering the major. Universal tracking also provides information to help students select a different college if there is continued academic difficulty meeting the requirements for the current major. If the tracking audit indicates difficulty stay- ing on-track or meeting the requirements for the major, the college will require an appointment with an academic adviser. The university's goal is to help students get back on-track for their major or help them to change the major. Universal tracking is designed to ensure that each student graduates from the university in as effective and efficient a manner as possible. Universal tracking identifies all the required courses for any major so that students know in advance the courses to take each term and so the university can arrange to have seats avail- able in all required courses. The universal tracking system is available on-line. This feature allows students to match their academic records to the degree require- ments of other majors so that they can consider other degree options and determine what courses they would have to take if they changed majors. Credit by Examination (AP, IB, CLEP) and Course Equivalents Charts for Placement A student may participate in several credit by examination programs to earn credit toward a degree. Credit received from one exam pro- gram may not be duplicated by another. A max- imum of 30 semester hours may be granted by combining AP, IB and CLEP credit. Students beginning in the fall or spring term must have taken all CLEP exams before enrolling or, at the latest, prior to the end of the first term of enroll- ment at the university; students who begin in the summer must have taken the exam(s) prior to the end of their first fall term. Advanced Placement Program Under this program, a student entering the university offers an examination score as evi- dence of completion of a college-level course taken in high school. If the results of the exami- nation meet the requirements listed below, the student may receive university credit. The courses listed below indicate the approximate University of Florida course equivalencies that will appear on the student's UF transcript. Advanced placement credit will appear on the student's permanent record. Credit (AP or IB) will be awarded only once for the same subject. UF credit awarded for dual enrollment courses takes precedence over AP or IB credit. If AP or IB credit is the issue, the exam yielding the most credit will be awarded. AP credit counts toward completion of the general education requirement only if the UF course identified on the equivalencies chart awards gen ed credit. AP English, history, art history, government and politics, music theory and psychology count toward Gordon Rule communication. AP mathematics, statistics and computer science count toward Gordon Rule computa- tion. AP French, Spanish, German, and Latin ful- fill the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences lan- guage requirement. Students who will continue their study of biology, chemistry, math and physics should consult an academic adviser for placement.
