A characteristic unique to New College of Florida is our mini-class system. Students do not pre-register for classes like most universities; instead they preview every course a few days before the start of the semester.
In 15 minutes, professors give a brief overview of their class so that students can decide whether or not the course will be a good fit for them.
Pro Tip: For students' first couple of semesters at New College, go to as many mini-classes as possible to survey the kinds of courses that are taught here.
