Gen Eds

<p>So I've been trying to figure out which courses I should take this summer (I'm an incoming freshman). Perhaps I'm blind, but I can't seem to find a link to the actual gen-ed requirements. Can anyone enlighten me, I'd reallllllllly appreciate it.
Side note: And if anyone as experience with taking summer classes at UF, what, in your opinion, are the best classes to take?</p>

<p>Thank youu X934893843948384</p>

<p>can you open ISIS yet? You can view unmet requirements there. Classes can satisfy certain parts of your gen ed: social science, international, etc. The registrar will list which classes satisfy what.</p>

<p>have you already completed the preview prep thing online? </p>

<p>Preview</a> Prep</p>

<p>It explains everything from credits you will receive from AP/IB courses and exactly what gen-eds you need and courses that will satisfy the requirements. </p>

<p>oh! and this comes straight from new student programs- it explains everything (even summer registration). </p>

<p>The</a> Dean of Students Office</p>

<p>hope this helps.</p>

<p>Yeah, I think I skimmed through Preview Prep too fast, but thank youu!</p>

<p>From now on you'll have to view your course info through ISIS. Learn how to read a degree audit asap.</p>

<p>If a gen ed course satisfies more than one branch, for example:</p>

<p>PLP 2000 Plants Plagues and People [GE-BH] </p>

<p>Would it count for both Biological Sciences AND Humanities, or would you have to choose one?</p>

<p>Also, do you have to take critical tracking courses the semester they are suggested?</p>

<p>it would count for both the bio and humanities credit.
(always try to take gen-eds that satisfy a lot of the requirements.) </p>

<p>as far as critical tracking courses, its usually suggested you take that course that semester but you won't necessarily be kicked out if you dont complete it that semester. For ex., I'm behind in my math sequence (1 semester) but as long as I complete the courses I'll be ok. If youre unsure, you can always call the department. It's more of a suggestion but you can always take them a semester or two before/after its suggested. </p>

<p>hope that helps.</p>

<p>Thanks sobe55. I was confused because in one of the explanations on the UF site, it says that hypothetically it would satisfy _ OR _. Do you know if there is some kind of list that has all of the gen ed classes that fulfill more than one requirement?</p>

<p>Actually, that information is incorrect. The course would satisfy either the humanities OR the bio credit...but not both.</p>

<p>The only gen eds that overlap are the international / diversity credits...those will combine with humanities, social and behavioral, etc.</p>

<p>And you do have to fulfill the minimum tracking requirements each semester, or you will be considered off-track which puts a hold on your record until you speak with an advisor in your college. If you are off-track twice, you <em>may</em> have to change majors or colleges. If you are ahead in tracking, it's ok and you can be more flexible.</p>

<p>All of this will be explained at Preview, so don't stress too much about it now.</p>

<p>Thanks for the clarification. I just want to have close to every course planned out so I have less of a chance of ending up with some ridiculous professor</p>

<p>omg- my apologies. </p>

<p>I was thinking along the lines of international/diversity credits.
yeah- songsaboutjane is correct. </p>

<p>I'm so glad you caught that.</p>
