Early Field Experience

EDF1005 and EDF2085 both have a guided field experience, usually in a local school setting. We recommend taking these two courses in different semesters if possible. For local students, the Alachua County School Volunteer Program assists students with finding a placement in the Gainesville area.  More information about the field experience will be included on the course syllabus.

Applying for admission to upper-division: early childhood and elementary majors only

The application period is February for Fall admission. You’ll receive an email invitation from Robin Rossie to complete an application. When you apply, you should be meeting all course, GPA, and testing requirements listed on your degree audit.  Applicants must document passing scores on all four subtests of the Florida Teacher Certification Examination General Knowledge Test to be considered for admission.

Registration

Information regarding registration dates, advance registration, schedule adjustment periods, and the drop/add period can be found on the UF Registrar’s webpage.

Check ONE.UF to make sure there are no holds on your account prior to registration. Contact an Academic Advisor if you see a tracking or College of Education hold on your account.

Drop/Add/Withdraw

University policies regarding dropping and withdrawing from courses can be found in the UF Catalog.

Prior to dropping a course students are advised to calculate their current grade in the course, checking the course syllabus for information about grading policies, and speaking with the instructor of the course to determine the likelihood of earning the desired grade. Students should also consider reaching out to the Office of Student Financial Affairs for counseling on the financial aid implications of a dropped course.

If you are considering withdrawing from the entire semester, please contact an Academic Advisor for advice.

To add a course after the Drop/Add period please reach out to an advisor. You will need instructor and advisor permission before the course can be added to your schedule
