This student manual has been prepared for
several reasons. It is meant to provide answers to a host of questions
that may arise during a student’s time within the planning
program at the University of Florida. It includes information
on a wide range of student concerns and provides a detailed explanation
of department requirements and applicable policies. However, the
official policies of the department and the University of Florida
are in the Graduate
Catalog 2004-2005.
The manual also includes University rules and regulations, as well as program
policies. These policies are effective and binding for all students in the
University of Florida’s Urban and Regional Planning program entering
in the 2004-2005 academic year. Students are bound by the policies in effect
at the time they enter the program. Students should retain the copy of the
manual provided them upon entry to the program for reference during the entire
period of enrollment.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the information
contained in the 2005
URP Student Handbook, please consult your faculty advisor
or Professor Richard Schneider, the Urban and Regional Planning
department’s Graduate Coordinator.
Policies and procedures have been developed by the department in order to
enhance and facilitate your progress in completing the program. We hope your
time in the program is an exhilarating and challenging education experience.
