<p>Hi fellow CCers,
My mother has informed me of a rumor that according to her, she has heard from many people. The following is not my opinion, just a summary of the rumor. </p>
<p>"There are many different colleges at UF, and students eventually are enrolled in one or another depending on their major. However, no student is guaranteed a spot in their 'college'. Nobody is accepted into their college until after two years of going to UF, and there is a possibility of being rejected. In fact, a lot of people never get into a 'college', and have to transfer out of UF for their junior year." </p>
<p>Is this true? Partially true? If someone could please clarify this, that would be great.</p>
<p>I would say false. The only college I know that would kick someone out if they are not completing the requirements is architecture. Majors can easily be changed whenever you want; up to 90 (or 92?) credits. That that point you are stuck in completing that major. Also you need to play an instrument to enter into a [name of instrument] performance major.</p>
<p>I assume most majors are "limited access" and some are more competitive and strict than others to be admitted and stay in the program. I would think you would still be able to graduate from UF but it might not be in the major you wanted if you can't meet the requirements.</p>
<p>most colleges do have GPA and tracking requirements that you must follow, but it usually isn't too hard to keep up with those as long as you are on top of things.</p>
<p>I don't think there's any veracity to that. While it's true that you aren't considered a part of any college until after like 60 credit hours, I've never heard of anyone unable to get into their chosen college as long as the prereq classes were satisfied.</p>
