Flexible Learning
Be advised, Flexible Learning courses cannot be used for credit towards admission. Courses taken through our department will remain permanently on the student's transcript and may impact future acceptance to UF.
Anyone who has been denied admission will be asked to verify in writing that they are transferring any credits earned through Flexible Learning to another university.
University of Florida coursework that is repeated is counted in the computation of your UF grade point average as many times as grades for that course are recorded, although credit hours will be awarded only once.
However, when you earn a C (2.0) or higher in a course and you repeat that course and earn a C (2.0) or higher on the subsequent enrollment, the new grade will not be computed into the UF grade point average or awarded additional credits.
If you entered UF with credit for Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses and you then repeat and pass the equivalent course at UF, you will receive a grade for the UF course and no credit for the prior work.
Non-UF students, who are repeating a Flexible Learning course, need to check with their academic advisor to see what effect the grade has on their GPA.
Beginning Fall 1997, any undergraduate course numbered 1000-4999 at the university for which a student registers three or more times will be subject to a repeat course fee at 100 percent of the full cost of instruction, calculated annually (Section 1009.285, Florida Statutes). All students, regardless of classification or residency status, will be assessed the fee in addition to the tuition costs per UF-3.0375(7) Regulations of the University of Florida.
Students are allowed 16 weeks, from their date of enrollment, to complete and submit their coursework. If the student has not submitted at least 50% of their coursework and have an extenuating circumstance preventing them from submitting the coursework, a failing grade of “E”, “E0” or “E1” will be issued and recorded to the UF Registrar.
If the student has made sufficient academic progress, which is defined as completing and submitting at least 50% of the coursework and have an extenuating circumstance, the student may petition the instructor for a course extension before the course expires. Each course extension request will be administratively evaluated. Instructors are not required to allow extensions. If a student does receive an extension, an incomplete grade of an “I” will be assigned as an interim grade. When the course is completed, the instructor will initiate the change of grade. After that, the “I” grade will be changed to the student’s final course grade on their transcript.
A student shall not represent as the student's own work all or any portion of the work of another. Plagiarism includes but is not limited to:
