I completed NSI and orientation for UF. Next is NSO in late August. At school orientation I finalized my schedule. Right now this is my schedule.
-Chem 1 with lab (4 credits)
-Calc 2 (4 credits)
-Good life(required humanities class)(3 credits)
-SLS (Intro to college class)(1 credit)
-First naval science class (2 credits)
So that’s 14 credits which is in the clear. The UF NROTC website says you need to take at-least 12 credits NOT counting NROTC classes a semester. Now here is my concern. General chemistry 1 is regarded as one of the hardest classes at UF with a very high failure rate. I took chem honors in high school but never a college level Chem class. UF offers an intro to Chem class that is 3 credits because it doesn’t have a lab. I tested right into general Chem 1 but they said it was my choice to skip intro to Chem or not. Also the test to skip intro to Chem was a joke because it was just some algebra questions with no Chem questions so I don’t think that accurately portrayed my knowledge.
I figure I’ll just skip it and do my best because they let you fall back into intro to Chem after the first test. If I fail the first test or find that I’m really struggling I could drop down to intro to Chem but then I would only be at 13 credits , 11 not including NROTC.
Could I count some of the college classes I passed in high school for my first semester. I would still graduate on time taking 13 credits.
I’m going into college with ENC1101, ENC1102 and Calc 1 completed. Plus some other random college classes and I already have 15-20 credits. Is their flexibility? I just want to plan for the worst Incase I need to drop down to intro to Chem.
