Students maintain the HH classification as long as they meet the standards set by the college and UF for admission and universal tracking. Students who are not making satisfactory academic progress may be required to seek admission to another college or to make alternative academic plans.

Students who fall below minimum performance standards will have a registration hold placed on their record. They must meet with an adviser to determine a plan of action before the hold will be removed.

College Probation
Students in HHP will be placed on college probation for two reasons:

• The grade point average at the university or in the major falls below a 2.0, or
• The student fails to follow the prescribed program for the major.

A hold will be placed on the record and continued registration will be denied. Students must meet with their academic adviser to determine a plan of action to ensure successful completion of a degree before the hold will be removed.

Drop Policy
During drop/add, courses can be dropped without penalty. After drop/add, courses may be dropped only through the college’s petition process in accordance with university deadlines.

Before completing the 60 hours of course work (attempted at UF), students are allowed two unrestricted drops after the close of drop/add. After 60 hours, the student also is allowed two unrestricted drops after the close of drop/add. 

Expenditures
The student is referred to the Expenses section in the catalog. In addition, some courses require experience away from campus. For such courses, the student will need to make provisions for transportation and appropriate clothing.

First Aid and CPR
All students are required to have current American Red Cross First Aid and CPR (or equivalent) certification at the time of registering for student teaching/internship.

Students pursuing the athletic training specialization must be current in CPR certification before registering for AT course work.

Grievance Procedures
Any student in the college who feels his or her performance in a course has not been evaluated accurately should first discuss any concerns with the instructor. If the disagreement is not resolved at that level, the student should consult the departmental chair, and if still unresolved, contact the academic dean in the college’s Office for Student Affairs.

The college is a strong supporter of the University’s Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Program. Any student who believes he or she has been discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, disability, age or national origin should contact the college’s Office for Student Affairs.

Juniors and Seniors Status
After reaching 60 hours, students who meet or exceed the 60-hour performance standards specified by the college and major department will retain their classification within the college. Juniors and seniors (3HH and 4HH) will be monitored for progress toward a degree. All students must adhere to the policies of the college and their department to retain the HH classification.

Liability Insurance
All students must secure liability insurance before they begin their internship or student teaching experience.

Postbaccalaureate Students
Students seeking postbaccalaureate status must meet the admission requirements for the intended program. Students may enroll as 6HH to satisfy requirements for teacher certification in health education or physical education.

Teacher Education Programs
Students must take and pass all sections of CLAST or General Knowledge Test and have a 2.50 UF GPA prior to admission into any Teacher Education Program (before 60 hours).

Additionally, students must demonstrate competency in Florida’s 12 Accomplished Practices for Pre-Professional Teachers before being approved for graduation.

Finally, students must take and pass the General Knowledge Test, Professional Education Test, and their specific Subject Area before graduation from a degree program.

Transfer or Correspondence Credit
Transfer and/or correspondence course credit may be allowed even if taken after the student has been admitted to the major. Students are discouraged from taking such courses after 60 hours.

In general, these courses are recorded on the transcript and can be used to meet curriculum requirements if approved by the department. At least 60 credit hours at the 3000 level or higher are required in all majors.

Transfer Students
For application information, all transfer students should refer to the Electronic Transfer Manual at www.isis.ufl.edu. Within space and fiscal limitations, applicants from other institutions who have satisfied minimum requirements will be considered for admission at the junior level.
