Information on deadlines and policy will be listed here and will change periodically.

• University of Florida Regulation 7.049 and Florida Board of Governors Regulation 8.003 require that all required and recommended textbooks and instructional materials, along with course syllabi, be posted no later than 45 days before the start of the term.  These materials must appear within the University's course registration system and be publicly accessible on the UF website.  Timely posting supports students in managing academic workload and financial planning related to course materials.

  Submission deadlines for compliance:
  Spring 2027: November 13, 2026.
  
  Adoptions submitted after the deadline listed above are out of compliance.
