UF's course "Units" in their app?

<p>OK, so in their application UF has a section for "units" for each class in your senior year schedule...what is this? If it's the number of credits each class is worth, then I have a problem because all of my classes are 5 and 6 credit courses. :P</p>

<p>Or does this mean, say, one full-year course = 1 unit? If that's the case, how do I differentiate between a 4 credit course (gym) and a 6 credit one (AP physics)?</p>

<p>Also, is this, <a href="http://www.nre.ufl.edu/Students/Undergrad/Doc/recommendationform.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.nre.ufl.edu/Students/Undergrad/Doc/recommendationform.pdf&lt;/a> , their freshman application recommendation form?</p>

<p>1 unit is a typical one year class (ie; AP Physics)</p>

<p>.5 units is a class that takes a half year (ie; taking one course in the first half of the year and taking another the second half of the year).</p>

<p>For AP Physics, you would put it on your first semester schedule as .5 units and again in your second semester schedule as .5 units (totaling 1 unit).</p>

<p>I don’t know what kind of school or whatever that you go to, but if you’re in high school I suggest that you take your full year courses and make it 1 unit and your half year courses and make it into a .5 unit.</p>
