UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA


 Academic Credit.-The College of Architecture and Allied Arts has dispensed
with clock hours, class grades, and semester hours credit as measures of accomplish-
ment and prerequisites to the completion of its work. Understanding and demonstrated
proficiency in a professional field are used as a test for granting a degree rather than
the traditional accumulation of credits.
 Student Responsibility.-The student must assume full responsibility for register-
ing for the proper courses and for fulfilling all requirements for his degree. The faculty
will assist and advise, but the student must take the initiative and assume responsibility
for managing his own affairs.
 Elective Courses.-In order to broaden his general or professional education be-
yond the regular prescribed program a student may obtain permission to enroll in such
additional courses as he may select.
 Student Work.-All work submitted by students becomes the property of the Col-
lege and may be retained for purposes of record, exhibition, or instruction. All projects
must be done in the rooms of the College under the supervision of the faculty.
 Graduation With Honors.-Students successfully completing the work of the Col-
lege shall, according to the character of their work as adjudged by the faculty, receive
diplomas of graduation, of graduation With Honors, or of graduation With High
Honors.

 FACILITIES FOR INSTRUCTION

 General.-The College of Architecture and Allied Arts occupies all or part of
four buildings which provide space for the necessary work rooms, studios, conference
rooms, and offices.

a working library of books, periodicals, and prints, and a collection of lantern slides
including an unusual number of color slides of contemporary work. The leading journals
on architecture, art, and kindred subjects from this country and abroad are received.
Supplemented by the resources available in the general University Library, the col-
lection provides exceptional opportunities for reference, study, and research.

tecture and Allied Arts, provides special opportunities for study through periodic ex-
hibitions in The Gallery in Building U, the Foyer in Building E, and elsewhere on the
campus. During the year some 20 or more exhibitions are brought to the University,
and a number of exhibitions of student work are prepared and circulated by the College.
 Lectures and Conferences.-Each year a number of lectures and conferences of
special interest to students in architecture and the allied arts are brought to the campus.
 Student Organizations.-Student organizations take an active part in the educa-
tional program of the College. Included in these organizations are the Florida Art
Society, the Gargoyle Society, the Student Builders Association, and the student chapter
of the American Institute of Architects. The College encourages and assists students
in promoting close relations with professional groups and societies in the several fields.
 Field Trips.-Each year a number of field trips are arranged to give students an
opportunity to broaden and extend their educational experience through study of out-
standing works of architecture and art. Students frequently combine such studies with
attendance at state and national meetings of the professional organizations in their
respective fields.
