Abstract

Abstract Florida currently has 26 state supported junior colleges and each campus is an autonomous unit which contributes to tremendous variability in administrative philosophy, curricula, and academic standards. All of these colleges have open door admission policies in that all graduates of high schools within the state are eligible for admission. Non-high school graduates may enter many community junior colleges to complete secondary educational programs. Students wishing to transfer to the University of Florida as juniors must have completed an Associate of Arts (AA) Degree from a junior college with a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better in academic courses based on a 4 point system of evaluation. They might enter without completing such a program provided they had been eligible to have entered the University of Florida as freshmen. The University of Florida requires 300 or higher score on the Florida 12th Grade Test, which usually limits eligibility to the top 2/5 ths of high school graduates in the state.
