Undergraduate courses are offered for college credit through Correspondence Study at the Division of Continuing Education (DCE). The Division of Continuing Education at the University of Florida provides flexible educational opportunities for students who have the following:

• conflicting schedules,
• need to meet general education or writing and math requirements,
• need to meet course prerequisites,
• a desire for professional development or personal enrichment.

Students attending UF must have prior approval from their academic adviser in their college before enrolling in a correspondence study course. To seek approval, meet with your academic adviser.

Students can enroll for courses by mail, fax, in person, or online. Registering for courses via correspondence study does not require a transcript of previous academic work, nor does the student need to apply or be admitted to the University of Florida to earn college credit. Correspondence study has continuous enrollment and does not follow the academic calendar.

Once enrolled, students have 16 weeks from the date of enrollment (the equivalent of one semester) to complete their course work. If the course work has not been completed after 16 weeks, a grade of "H" (deferred) will be assigned. If more time is needed to complete the course, an additional 16 weeks will be allowed. Should the course remain incomplete at the end of the second 16-week period, an "I" (Incomplete) will be assigned. After an "I" has been recorded on the student transcript, it can be changed only with special permission from the instructor. If the "I" is not changed, it will be calculated in the student’s GPA as an "E" (failing) in compliance with university policy.

Courses are available in print or online, and often include an interactive CD-Rom.
