Progression to Graduation

Universal Tracking for CLAS Majors
Additional CLAS Progression Standards

Every student is expected to make satisfactory progress toward graduation each semester. Students who fail to make satisfactory progress may be denied registration or be required to meet specific conditions in order to continue in CLAS.

Universal Tracking for CLAS Majors

Students in terms 1-5 are required to meet the critical tracking criteria for their major in each of the first five terms. The critical tracking criteria for CLAS majors are listed in the major information that follows, in this section of the catalog. For more information about Universal Tracking policies, consult the Academic Advising portion of this catalog.

Additional CLAS Progression Standards

All CLAS students must meet the following standards:

• Maintaining an overall UF cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher.
• Enrolling in at least one course in the major each term during the junior and senior years until major course requirements are completed. A student can only pursue the major to which he or she has been admitted.
• Earning a grade of C or better within two attempts (including the grade of W) in each course in the major. Certain majors may require grades higher than C in specific courses. Students must meet department requirements.
• Not withdrawing from the university more than twice while enrolled in this college. Students who withdraw for a third term may be excluded from further registration in CLAS.
• Fulfilling the requirements for the degree in a reasonable number of semesters; additional study is permitted only with dean's approval and is usually limited to fulfillment of unmet degree requirements.
• Graduating in a timely fashion. Any student who has completed all of the academic requirements for the degree, but who has not obtained the degree, will be denied further registration in the college.

Each semester the university mails students a letter informing them of their registration appointment for the next term. Upon receipt of this letter, students should consult their degree audit on ISIS (www.isis.ufl.edu). The degree audit outlines the requirements for the degree and indicates whether or not a student has met each requirement. Students should use their degree audit to plan a program of satisfactory progress each term.

It is to a student's advantage to begin work on the foreign language requirement during the first year, unless the major department indicates otherwise.
