GET IN THOSE BLANKS The first prerequisite for admission to the University of Florida is your preliminary application, the deadline for which is August 15. The preliminary application must be sent in by all entering students and may be obtained by writing the Registrar. The other blanks to be filled out by entering students, which vary with the student's status, are sent to new students upon receipt of the preliminary ap- plication. Briefly these blanks may be classified, thus: RESIDENT FLORIDA FRESHMEN students who have never attended col- lege need: 1. Transcript of high school credits which should be filled out by the regis- trar of your high school. 2. Formal Application for Admission which should be filled out by you and forwarded to the Director of Admissions at the University. 3. Statement of Residence which should be filled out, NOTARIZED, and sent to the Director of Admissions. 4. The application for housing facilities should be returned as soon as possible. A room deposit payment of ten dollars must accompany appli- cations for unmarried students. Applicants for assignment to housing facilities for married students are not required to post a deposit until requested to do so by the Housing Office. 5. The Medical History and Physical Examination form. The medical his- tory should be filled in by the applicant before going to his doctor for the physical examination. The physical must be performed and completed by a licensed Doctor of Medicine and mailed by the doctor direct to the Director, Student Health Service, University of Florida, Gainesville. OUT OF STATE FRESHMEN (Students from outside Florida who have never attended college) will submit essentially the same forms except for: 1. A notarized statement of residence will NOT be required of non-Florida students. They must submit, however, the $175.00 out-of-state fee with their admission credentials. TRANSFER STUDENTS WHO ARE RESIDENTS of the state of Florida and who are applying for transfer from another university should send: 1. Notarized Statement of Residence 2. Transcript of credits from the institution previously attended 3. Formal Application for Admission 4. Housing Facilities (if desired) 5. Medical History and Physical Report TRANSFER STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT RESIDENTS of the state of Florida and are applying for transfer from another university should send the same credentials as Florida Transfers except for: 1. Statement of Residence will not be required. They must, however, sub- mit the $175.00 out-of.-state fee along with their application. These blanks are the main ones with which the prospective Gator student will be concerned. It must be remembered, however, that each applicant may present a slightly different situation than that of the majority and therefore cannot be strictly catalogued. The fine line that determines a resident and non-resident of the state of Florida, for instance, is elaborated upon like this: "A Florida student, if under twenty-one years of age, is one: (1) whose parents have been residents of Florida for at least twelve consecutive months preceding his registration; or (2) whose parents were residents of Florida at the time of their death, and who has not acquired residence in another state; or (3) whose parents were not residents of Florida at the time of their death, but whose successor natural guardian has been a resident of Florida for at least twelve months next preceding the student's registration." Remember, the deadline for preliminary applications is August 15, and until the application is sent in, the Director of Admissions cannot determine your status, nor can he send you the other necessary forms.
