UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA


 ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIAL STUDENTS

 Special students may be admitted to the various schools and colleges of the Upper
Division only by approval of the Board of University Examiners. Each case will be con-
sidered on an individual basis. Application for admission as a special student must in-
clude: (1) records of previous educational experience (high school or college tran-
scripts); (2) a statement as to the type of studies to be pursued; (3) a brief statement
of the reason or reasons for selecting a special program other than a regular one; (4)
satisfactory evidence of ability to pursue these studies-for example, a student to enroll
as a special student for some technical courses and who feels qualified to do so by rea-
son of employment or other experience should submit a brief description of this ex-
perience.

 ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE OF LAW
 Applicants for admission to the College of Law must have received a degree in arts
or science in a college or university of approved standing.
 Under existing legislation veterans may enter on three years of academic college
work meeting the standards of the Association of American Law Schools.
 The applicant who has not received a degree must have made an average of C or
higher in all work taken in the college or university where he has prepared for entrance
to the College of Law. For information on admissions to the College of Law with ad-
vanced standing see the section of the catalog headed College of Law.


 ADMISSION TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION
 Limitations of space and staff restrict the enrollment of graduate students. The
records of applicants for graduate study are reviewed by the graduate selection com-
mittees of the various colleges and schools. In general, no student will be considered
for graduate study in any unit of the University who (1) is a graduate of a non-
accredited institution, and (2) has an overall average below C.
 Graduates of accredited institutions with an average of C or better are not guaran-
teed admission. In some units of the University, an under-graduate average considerably
above B is required for consideration.
 All applications must be made to the Admissions Section of the Registrar's office
in accordance with the dates set forth in the University calendar. Prospective graduate
students may correspond with any University officer for advice and information but
they must definitely understand that they cannot be considered for admission or per-
mitted to register unless all of the admission forms specified by the Admission Section
of the Registrar's office are filed in that office on or before the dates specified in the
University calendar. In addition to forms required by the Admissions Section, the
student must furnish a transcript from each institution previously attended. These
transcripts must be transmitted by the registrar of the institution where the work
was completed to the Director of Admissions at the University of Florida.
 In some instances students who do not meet the quantitative or qualitative re-
quirements for admission for graduate study may pursue a semester or a year's work
classified as a senior in an attempt to meet the qualifications set by the unit of the Uni-
versity concerned for the program of the student's choice. Upon approval of the Grad-
uate Council, some work (but in no case all of the work) completed during this period
might be used to reduce the course requirements for a graduate degree.
