Academic Classification is a two or three-character code applied by the Office of the Registrar to all UF students which indicates their number of credit hours completed (UF and non-UF) and their primary major. This code is frequently used to determine student qualification for University activities, privileges, and Student Government involvement.

[edit] First Digit - Numeral

The first character is always a numeral in the range 0-9 that designates how many undergraduate credit hours (UF and non-UF) have been completed, or that a student is a Graduate student and the type of degree they're seeking.

Exception: Some professional schools, such as the Law School, using a different numbering scheme (1L's refer to first-year law students, for example).

0 - Special transient students, qualified high school students, and other nondegree students permitted to register at UF
1 - Less than 30 undergraduate credits
2 - Less than 60 but at least 30 undergraduate credits
3 - Less than 90 but at least 60 undergraduate credits
4 - Less than 120 but at least 90 undergraduate credits
5 - Undergraduate student with more than 120 undergraduate credits
6 - Postbaccalaureate student with a degree admitted to postbaccalaureate status
7 - Graduate student seeking a first master's degree
8 - Graduate student already holding a master's degree or with at least 36 credits who is seeking a graduate degree but is not a doctoral candidate
9 - Graduate student who has been admitted to doctoral candidacy

[edit] Second and Third Characters - Letters

The second and third characters of the academic classification indicate the college or school offering the student's primary major. Each college and some schools has its own two letter code.
