Graduate Registration

Top of PageRegistration

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

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

Top of PageRegistration 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

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

Top of PageS/U Grade Option

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

Top of PageCommunications Requirement

Students in the J.D./M.Acc. joint program must meet the communications requirement for their M.Acc. degree but may use law school courses towards the fulfillment of this requirement. The communications requirements for the M.Acc. degree will be considered met by successful completion of:

1. Two credits of first year law coursework in appellate advocacy and research and writing
2. A minimum of three credits of law seminars

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.
