Top of Page Registration

Although a printed schedule of course offerings is produced each semester, students are encouraged to use the online schedule of courses, which is updated daily. Students register for classes by using a computer with internet access (simply visit ISIS). All registrations - advanced, regular, drop/add, late, non-degree, and employee - are completed in this manner. Drop/Add will still be held during the first week of classes to assist students encountering unusual registration problems.

Top of PageMinimum and Maximum Loads

Twelve to fifteen hours is considered an average course load.
The maximum load per term is seventeen credits. Students may exceed this maximum only with the permission of the Associate Director.

Top of Page Registration for Independent Study

This course is restricted to graduate students who are currently meeting all GPA requirements for graduation, and who have obtained approval for registration from both the supervising faculty member and the Associate Director. It is not available to graduate students attempting to restore GPA deficits.

Top of PageRegistration at Other Institutions or for Correspondence Courses

Courses may not be taken by correspondence.
Required courses (in accounting and supporting fields) may not be taken outside of the University of Florida. No exceptions to this policy are permitted.
Registration for any other courses requires the approval of the Associate Director.

Top of Page S/U Grade Option

Courses taken for M.Acc. degree credit may not be taken using the S/U grade option.

Top of Page Registration for Supervised Accounting Internship ACG 4941

Students are encouraged to complete an accounting internship. To be meaningful, it is recommended that the internship be taken after having completed Tax and Auditing. Although internships are encouraged, not all students need to register for Internship credit. It is recommended that students meet with an advisor to assess whether the credit hours are needed.

Students may register for two to four credits of accounting internship. The Internship course may be repeated for a cumulative total of 5 credit hours.

At a minimum, students must meet the following criteria to be eligible to register for accounting internship credit:

Completed ACG 4133C and ACG 4352C.
Complete the enrollment form and have it approved by the internship coordinator. This form can also be downloaded.
Prior to starting the internship, bring the completed form to 210 GER for registration.

Please note: Registration in this class must be done during advanced or regular registration in order to avoid late registration fees, which can run as high as $100.

Top of PageApproved Elective

The 3/2 program requires the completion of two approved elective modules. The electives are designed to enhance the student’ graduate plan of study by allowing him/her to further explore an academic area of interest relating to his/her career goals. Each semester, the school will post on its website a list of graduate courses that are available for the forthcoming semester that will satisfy the approved elective requirements. For courses not listed, students may submit a petition to the Fisher School requesting its approval. The petition should clearly state how the proposed course will enhance the student’ program of graduate studies.

All of the following procedures apply when selecting an approved elective:

The elective must be taken as a 7AC (graduate classification).
The course must be at least a 5000 level course.
The course may not be an introductory course (i.e., it must have a junior/senior level prerequisite from the same discipline which the student has successfully completed).
The course may not be an accounting course.

Top of PageDrop/Add Period During the First Week of Classes

The University calendar specifies the length and specific timing of the drop/add period for each term. This period provides an opportunity for students to modify their schedule of courses. We try very hard to accommodate all students during advanced registration, so every effort should be made to complete registration well in advance of drop/add. Students who were unable to register for an accounting course required to remain on track because of circumstances beyond his/her control should go to 210 GER for assistance. Students simply seeking to change the section of a course they already have must use ISIS to adjust his/her schedule.
