UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA


 Each student is responsible for completing all courses for which he is registered.
Courses can be dropped or changed without penalty only through the offices of the
Dean of the College and the Registrar.
 The student's program of studies is subject to the approval of his adviser and the
Dean.
Maximum and Minimum Loads: Sixteen or seventeen semester hours in any regular
semester shall be considered a normal load. A student may be permitted to register for
eighteen or nineteen semester hours when, in the opinion of his adviser, the quality of
his record justifies this.
 The minimum load for a regular full-time student in the College of Arts and
Sciences during a regular semester is twelve hours. At the time of registration, a stu-
dent, with the approval of the Dean, may register for less than twelve semester hours.
If a student wishes to drop courses during the semester thereby reducing his load below
twelve semester hours, he must have the approval of the University Senate Committee
on Student Petitions.
Credit for Course Work Outside the College: Ordinarily a student's credits for a degree
in the College of Arts and Sciences are limited to courses in the subject-matter areas
listed at the beginning of this section. However, on the recommendation of the student's
adviser and with the approval of the Dean, a student may present a maximum of six
semester hours of elective work for his degree from courses in subject-matter areas not
listed under the College of Arts and Sciences.
Residence Requirement: The last thirty semester hours to be applied toward a degree
must be completed in residence in the College of Arts and Sciences. In special cases
this requirement may be waived, but in no case may the amount of extension or cor-
respondence work permitted exceed more than twelve of the last thirty-six hours re-
quired for the degree.
Student Petitions: If a student feels that the College regulations work a peculiar hard-
ship or injustice in his case, he may petition for waiver of the regulation involved. In-
formation on procedure in submitting such petitions is available in the Office of the
Dean.
University Student Regulations: The University issues a bulletin entitled Student
Regulations which contains much information of essential importance to any student.
For example, the general regulations governing military training and student employ-
ment are covered. Each student in the College of Arts and Sciences should be familiar
with this material. Copies of the bulletin may be obtained at the Office of the Registrar.

 SPECIAL PROGRAMS

Pre-Professional Training: The College of Arts and Sciences offers pre-professional
training necessary for admission to professional schools of Theology, Medicine, Dentistry,
Law, and Library Science. Students interested in preparing for advanced training in
one of these areas will be referred to an appropriate adviser.
