Planning Your Future Terms

Summer Term

Your classes would need to be completed at UF. No additional coursework will be accepted from another institution.

Good time to take courses to get caught up if you had not been taking at least 15 credits fall/spring terms, or if you have fallen behind on your critical tracking.Great opportunity to get ahead in your academic plans or fit in courses for a 2

nd

major or minor or certificate.

Fall /Spring Term

Schedule template should consist of:

2 courses required for your major (including any remaining critical tracking classes)

1 – 2 courses in any remaining CLAS Gen Ed requirements or University requirements

1 – 2 courses in 3000 level electives outside your major, courses for a minor or 2

nd

major or certificate.

Additional Notes About Registration

Some courses require that you are a student in a declared major or minor.

You will have to wait until the priority registration period to expire in order to register for such

courses, provided that you meet the course pre-requisites.APK2100C, APK2105C, BCH4024

DO NOT REQUEST PERMISSION TO WAIVE THE REQUIREMENTS!!!!!

Some courses for which you meet pre-requisites but cannot register.

Usually due to the pre-requisites completed at a non-public Florida institution and will require a visit to the department to manually waive the pre-requisite.

DO NOT SEE A GENERAL ADVISOR AT FARRIOR HALL!!!!

You must meet with an undergraduate coordinator in the department for which the course is offered.

Cannot get PCB3063 (Genetics) because BIOL125 and BSC125L (Biology II) was completed at Loyola University.

Minors and Certificates

If you are interested in pursuing minors and/or certificates, please go

to

www.registrar.ufl.edu and then click on “Undergraduate Catalog”Click on “Minors” or “Certificates” to review information about the programs.

You may declare a minor once you have completed at least one course for the minor and have a UF GPA of 2.00 or higher.

Some minors require a higher GPA and may require an application to the specific department.

If you are interested in a certificate, you must meet with the department representative to discuss the application process and criteria.

If pursuing a minor or certificate results in you needing one additional semester beyond the 4 semesters allowed at UF, it is not a problem, provided you have discussed your plans with an academic advisor and applied for the program(s).
