Registration Tips

ONE.UF is not available all the time, from 3:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. generally, so keep this in mind when registration start times are enforced.
Plan your course selections in advance; if you exceed the time limits the system will disconnect. If you time out, previously confirmed drops and adds will be retained, but unsaved requests will be lost and you will have to log on again. Your Internet Service Provider may also enforce time limits for periods of inactivity.
While ONE.UF will guide you through course requirements, not all requirements are managed by ONE.UF. Check the College of Law website for course requirements: course schedules. The College of Law can drop you if you do not meet course requirements. If you do have to drop the course, do so before the last day of drop/add in the term or you will be liable for the tuition and fees.
Variable credit courses require you to enter the number of credits in a two-digit format; three credits would be entered as 03. If you register for an incorrect number of credits, you must drop the course and add it again with the correct credits.
If you need special assistance to register, please contact the Office of Student Affairs in 164 Holland Hall, (352) 273-0620.

If you are unable to register due to a notification for Holds, go to Registration Holds under My Record to view the ‘holds’ on your record that could prevent you from registering. One such hold is the Registration preparation hold which is a registration acknowledgement and it must be completed each term prior to registration. By completing this acknowledgement, you are agreeing that you understand that you are liable for all fees for courses that are on your schedule as of the end of the drop/add period of the given term. Once all holds have been cleared, you should be ready to register for available classes.
To Register for classes, the registration link will be in the My Online Services menu underneath the Register Now section. The Registration page will provide you with your personal information, your current schedule and the options you may use to search for courses to adjust your schedule. Your search options include a search for all courses, for courses that meet your schedule and add a section. Once you have specified a course to add, click onto the Add Section button. You will then confirm the add with your Gatorlink password. You will drop courses in a similar manner. Once the course is added to your schedule, there will be a drop section button. To drop the section, click onto the drop section button. You will confirm the drop with your Gatorlink password.
Always review your schedule carefully once you have completed the drop/add process. If possible, print a copy of your schedule each time you register to keep track of your transactions.

The Florida Constitutional Law Endowment in memory of Justice Ben F. Overton was created by Judge Karen Miller in 2013. This fund supports lectures and presentations by Justices of the Florida Supreme Court at the Fredric G. Levin College of Law.

HISTORY

Justice Overton, who earned his B.S. in 1951 and his Juris Doctor in 1952 from the University of Florida, was the first merit appointment to the Florida Supreme Court. Throughout his career he was active in legal education and served as an Adjunct Professor at the Levin College of Law through December 2012, the month of his death. Although he resided at Oak Hammock at the University of Florida, a continuing care retirement community developed in cooperation with UF, he also considered the Florida Supreme Court “home.” Among the high points of his later years was hosting Justices of the Florida Supreme Court in Gainesville and taking his class to Tallahassee to hear oral arguments at the Florida Supreme Court.
Judge Miller, who earned her B.S. cum laude from New York University in 1974 and her Juris Doctor from New York Law School in 1977, served as Chief Administrative Law Judge of the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs, New York City’s business regulatory agency, before she retired to Oak Hammock at the University of Florida. Having accompanied Justice Overton on his excursions to Tallahassee and joined him in welcoming guests to Oak Hammock at the University of Florida, she created the endowment in memory of Justice Overton to ensure that the Levin College of Law continues to have the funding necessary to continue and enhance the interaction between its students and the Florida Supreme Court.

Judge Miller remembered the event that motivated the endowment.

Prior to a dinner at the home of Dean Robert Jerry and Lisa Jerry shortly after Justice Overton’s death, Justice Barbara Pariente and I were discussing a suitable memorial. Justice Pariente, who had been Justice Overton’s colleague on the Florida Supreme Court and who understood the importance to him of the interaction between his students and the Court, suggested the outline of what has become the Overton lectures. Dean Jerry, who has since retired, as has Dean Emeritus Jon Mills, who assumed responsibility for implementing the Overton lectures, were very supportive from the beginning. Since Dean Mills’ retirement, Professor Timothy McClendon, who assisted both Justice Overton and Dean Mills teaching Florida Constitutional Law and who co-authored the recent Florida Constitutional Law casebook, has continued the Overton lectures with the support of Interim Dean Merritt McAlister and CGR director, Professor Danaya Wright.

Justice Overton was a devoted jurist, educator, and ethical leader of the Florida legal profession. The Overton Lecture Series brings Florida Supreme Court Justices to the University of Florida, Levin College of Law, and serves to introduce students to the inner workings of the Court. CGR and the students of the College of Law extend our deepest gratitude to Judge Karen Miller for making the Overton Lectures possible in perpetuity.

You can watch an interview for the Florida Historical Society by Mary Adkins, professor emeritus of the UF Levin College of Law, with Justice Overton here.

Justice Overton was also interviewed for the Samuel Proctor Oral History Project and a transcript of his interview is available at the Smathers Library, and here.
Justice Overton sat on the Constitution Revision Commission of 1977-78 that proposed a right to privacy in the Florida Constitution. Although it failed as part of the Constitution Revision Commission recommendations, it passed in 1980 when proposed by the legislature. The bill was co-sponsored by our very own Jon Mills. The privacy provision prevailed by greater than 60%. Justice Overton then wrote a concurrence in a critical reproductive rights case in 1989 affirming that the privacy provision of the Florida Constitution included the right to obtain an abortion. That decision was overruled in Planned Parenthood of SW and Central Florida v. Florida. You can read about the role of Justice Overton, Jon Mills – director emeritus of CGR, and the history of the 1989 case here.
