Graduation

Top of PageApplication for Graduation

For undergraduate students nearing the time to earn their B.S.Ac. degree from the Fisher School, the following procedures apply:

1. Each student should plan to see an advisor in the semester prior to the term of planned graduation to confirm that all degree requirements will be met pending the successful completion of the remaining plan of study. Graduation checks can not be done during the week of drop/add.
2. It is the student’s responsibility to apply for graduation on ISIS. The deadline for submitting applications is published in the Schedule of Courses. Failure to submit a timely application may prevent graduation.
3. Students enrolled in the joint program must be registered for a minimum of three hours in the Graduate School during the term in which they graduate. The three hours of registration must be in Graduate School courses: i.e., law school courses will not satisfy this requirement. Finishing an incomplete grade from a prior term does not satisfy this requirement.

Top of PageMinimum Requirements for Degree Certification

To graduate with a B.S.Ac. degree, a student must:

1. Have satisfactorily completed 120 semester hours of the prescribed coursework. In addition:
   1. The student’s last 30 hours of coursework must have been completed in residence at the Fisher School of Accounting.
   2. The waiving of any required course does not reduce the hours required for graduation.
   3. Credit hours will not be given for repeated courses.
   4. A minimum of sixty credit hours of course work must be at the 3000 level or above course level.
   5. A minimum of sixty credit hours must be completed outside the Warrington College of Business and the Fisher School of Accounting.
2. Have a minimum 2.0 GPA on all University of Florida coursework.
3. Have a minimum 2.0 GPA on all junior/senior level University of Florida coursework (all courses taken after the student reaches 60 semester credit hours).
4. Have a minimum 2.0 GPA on all attempts of all required accounting courses numbered 3000 and above.
   1. The student must have completed a minimum of 16 semester credit hours of junior/senior level accounting courses at the Fisher School of Accounting.
5. For purposes of computing the GPAs referred to above the following apply:
   1. If a course is repeated after an initial grade of "C" (or better) (e.g., to achieve the "B" requirement for ACG 2021C), the repeat grade and hours will not be computed in the University of Florida grade point average.
   2. Except for (a) above, all attempts of all courses are included in the computation. This means that a repeated course is included as many times as grades for it were recorded.
6. Refer to the University’s undergraduate catalog for a general discussion on grade point average computations.
