College Policies For Academic Progress

Colleges may determine and implement standards of academic progress for undergraduate students (majors in the college) in addition to those established by USF. Students who do not meet the academic standards of progress set by their colleges will be placed on probation and may be disenrolled. The college dean is responsible for implementing standards of academic progress and for notifying students of their probationary or disenrollment status.

Colleges may restrict the course selections and the number of hours a student may take which do not apply toward completion of degree requirements. Students who exceed this limit may have part or all of their registration canceled.

Colleges are responsible for publicizing and students are responsible for knowing their college’s policies for academic progress.

Admission to a College

All newly-admitted students must be advised initially by an academic advisor. All undecided students are assigned to the Center for Academic Advising for purposes of advising until a choice of major is made. At that time, he/she may enter the college containing the major department. Undecided students may remain in this classification until a maximum of 90 semester hours is earned. After that time, a major must be selected. New transfer students who have completed 90 or more hours may remain undeclared for a maximum of two terms following initial USF entry.
