Courses are taken on their own and are not part of a larger program. However, students can transfer an allotted amount of credit hours toward the programs listed above. These credits will transfer if the student is admitted to the respective graduate program and if a grade of “B” or higher is earned.
- Students pursuing coursework from the Graduate Certificate in Medical Physiology program in non-degree status must take GMS6440: Fundamentals of Medical Physiology (1 credit) prior to other courses.
- Students pursuing coursework from the Graduate Certificate in Medical Physiology with a specialization in Cardiovascular/Renal Physiology program in non-degree status must take GMS6400c: Principles of Medical Physiology (6 credits).
There is no application fee for non-degree seeking students. Enrollment as a non-degree student does not guarantee admission to the program.
All courses taken as a non-degree seeking student are credit-bearing. Your official transcript will list coursework, course number, course title and grade received. The earned hours, hours carried and GPA will read as zero on your official transcript as those fields are only completed for UF degree seeking students.
If you are planning on transferring UF non-degree coursework to another institution for credit, it’s advised that you first verify with the other institution that the credit will be accepted.
