Maps and Directions
If you're coming to see us for the first time, you might need a little help getting here. We've provided maps and general directions to help make that happen.
Students with Disabilities
Students with disabilities who may require academic and or classroom accommodations should contact UF’s Disability Resources (a function of the Dean of Students Office and the Division of Student Affairs). Disability Resources is located in Reid Hall (P.O. Box 114085, Gainesville, FL 32611-4085). Disability Resources can be reached at 352-392-8565 or e-mail at accessuf@dso.ufl.edu/drc.
A variety of facilities in residence halls are available for students with disabilities. Students who require adapted facilities or services should contact the Assignments Department in writing as soon as possible to document their disabilities and needs or requests.
Students with disabilities, as all students, must meet the standard guidelines used in determining housing eligibility. Students with print-related disabilities may request housing publications in an alternative format. Students with hearing disabilities may request assistance from the Florida Relay Service by phoning 800-955-8771 (Voice/TDD).
Residency
Residency refers to whether you are an in-state Florida resident or an out-of-state resident, and this classification determines your rate of tuition. Florida residents pay less in fees per credit hour than do non-Florida residents.
Your initial residency classification is determined by the University of Florida Office of Admissions (not the Levin College of Law, Office of Admissions). This determination is made upon submission of your supplemental forms to the university when you pay your application fee. Failure to provide all relevant information and required documentation in the residency section of the supplemental forms could result in a non-Florida or out-of-state resident classification for tuition purposes.
As a non-resident, you can request for reclassification of your residency status once you complete your first year at UF. You must contact the Office of the University Registrar to initiate this process.
Student Employment
As a full-time law school, the UF Levin College of Law adheres to American Bar Association policy requiring students to devote substantially all of their working hours to the study of law. Academic schedules and minimum load requirements are designed to reflect this policy.
First-year students are prohibited from employment during the fall and spring terms of their first year. Other students are restricted to no more than 20 hours per week of employment during the terms they are enrolled in classes.
Honor System
The UF College of Law Honor System sets the highest standards of integrity and professionalism, and provides procedures for handling academic honesty violations. Each student is given a copy of the Honor Code upon enrollment and is bound to follow it.
Mandatory Notebook Computer Policy
The Fredric G. Levin College of Law relies extensively on computing technologies and network communications in all aspects of student life. We believe it is imperative to prepare our students to be technologically sophisticated in the use of computers and computerized legal research.
