 PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS
 The College is a member institution of the American Federation of Arts, the As-
sociation of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, the College Art Association, and the
Society of Architectural Historians.
 The Curriculum in Architecture is accredited by the National Architectural Ac-
crediting Board. Graduates in Architecture who have acquired the necessary practical
experience are regularly admitted to the examinations of the Florida State Board of
Architecture. Properly qualified persons may be admitted to the examinations of the
National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, and many advantages accrue
to those who obtain professional registration as architects in this way.

 COUNSELING AND PERSONNEL PROGRAM
 To assist students in the solution of problems which arise during their college
careers, the College of Architecture and Allied Arts has established a counseling and
personnel program. The purpose of the program is to assist the student in the selection
of a field of study, to make available an understanding and sympathetic counselor to
whom the student may turn for assistance in solving any of his problems, to assist in
the selection of employment upon graduation, and to maintain contact with the student
after graduation and assist him with his problems in the field.

 TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES
 The College of Architecture and Allied Arts offers courses leading to certification
in Art for teaching Art in the secondary schools in the State of Florida. Regulations
describing certification of teachers are published by the State Department of Educa-
tion and it is imperative that all students who expect to be certified familiarize them-
selves with these regulations. Application for certificate should be made immediately
after graduation, and should be addressed to the State Superintendent of Public In-
struction, Tallahassee, Florida.
 FIELD WORK
 The Department of Architecture recognizes the importance of practical experience
to professional students in the design professions. In order to encourage students to
obtain such experience before commencing their terminal programs, provision is made
for students to receive credit for approved work in their field of major interest. By
prior arrangement with the Dean and the Head of the Department, and subject to
Faculty regulations governing field work, students admitted to professional curricula
in the Department of Architecture may earn up to three credits for field work upon
the submission of the documents and reports as prescribed by the regulations.

 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
 Attendance.-Every student is expected to be present during all of the regular
hours assigned for each course. Where conflicts occur and deviations are necessary for
valid reasons, variations will be approved by the Dean.
 Advancement.-In the professional programs, individual instruction is given to
each student. Because of the individual nature of the work, the student advances ac-
cording to his accomplishment. Thus, while exceptional students may proceed at a
more rapid rate than the average, minimum standards of progress are maintained and
students not meeting such standards may be denied the privilege of continuing in the
course.
