Any student who drops below the 12-hour minimum of courses, will be
automatically dropped from school.
STUDENT IDENTIFICATION CARDS
 Upon payment of your registration fee, you will receive an identification
card, which will entitle you to the library and many other privileges. It is
advisable to have this card ready for presentation at all times, as student
elections, check-cashing, University sponsored programs, and many other
situations will be easier when you do so.
CHANGE OF ADDRESS
 Any change of address should be reported immediately to the Registrar's
Office, in order to keep their records, as well as yours up to date.
SCHEDULE CHANGES
 If it is necessary after registration to make changes in your schedule, it
must be done at the Registrar's Office, after approval by the University Col-
lege Office, and within the time stipulated in the University Calendar, which
is printed in the front of the catalogue.
 If you drop a course after this time limit, however, you will get a failing
grade in the course.
GRADING SYSTEM
 The students at the University of Florida are graded on two systems-the
honor point system, and the letter grade system. Grading in individual courses
is done on the letter system, and grading of all work per semester results in
the honor point average.
 The letter point system is simple, and probably is the system which you
have been accustomed to throughout high school. Students achievement in
each course for which he registers is indicated by one of these grades: A.
excellent; B, good; C, average; D;, fair; E, Failing; and I, incomplete.
 At the end of each semester, you will have the letter grades for all the
courses which you have taken during the semester, and each letter grade will
be assigned a point value. Points are devised as means of insuring a reason-
able level of accomplishment, and are calculated in the following manner: A,
four points; B, three points, C, two points; and D, one point. A failed course
does not warrant credit, nor does an incomplete until such time that the in-
complete is made up and a grade is received.
 After determining how much each of your letter grades is worth on the
point scale of values, you take that value in any given course and multiply it
by the number of credit hours the course carries. You do this for each
of the courses you have taken during the semester, add them together, divide
it by the total number of credit hours which you took during the semester,
and you have your point average. Exclude courses and hours carrying no
credit, such as required Physical Education, etc.
 To interpret your point average is really quite simple. The mystical 4.0,
the highest you can make, means that all your grades were A's. From here
the system is graded down thus; 3.5, half A and half B grades; 3.0, B average;
2.5, half B's and half C's, and so on down the grade scale.
 An entering student gets a little advice during registration from one
 of the Counselors.
