UF Student Eligibility

• To register for a distance education course: UF Students must complete a Certification of Course Approval form and have it signed by an Academic Advisor or Department Chair.

     Certification of Course Approval

• UF Students may take up to 6 hours of credit from Flexible Learning/Correspondence Study courses, and may petition their academic advisors to take additional hours of credit.

• UF Students cannot enroll in distance education courses if they have financial or academic holds on their records.

• To drop a course: In order to drop a Flexible Learning/Correspondence Study course, UF students must submit a Course Schedule Change form and have it signed by an Academic Advisor or Department Chair.

  Note: UF Students wishing to drop a DCE course after drop/add should contact their college advising office to see if they have a free drop remaining. If they have a free drop remaining, they have 28 weeks from the date of enrollment to drop the course, subject to applicable rules of their college and the university. This action is subject to verification that a grade has not yet been assigned.

     Drop form

• All full-term withdrawals must follow University of Florida policies/procedures. An approved Drop Form must be submitted to the Dean of Student's Office for review and final approval. Students must also notify the Office of Correspondence Study of this request.
