Freshmen and sophomore Undergradute Advising

Over the next several weeks, PHHP advisors will switch from appointment-based advising to Zoom walk-ins.  Zoom walk-ins are intended to last 15 minutes or less, for items such as: clearing holds, dropping one course, registration planning for the immediate next semester, transient student questions, limited course advising, and questions about minors.  Zoom walk-ins are intended to be brief so that advisors may assist as many students as possible.  Zoom walk-ins are for current UF students only.  Non-UF students who have questions about our undergraduate programs should email advising@phhp.ufl.edu

The walk in hours for November 23rd through December 4th are as follows. Please note: there will be no zoom walk-ins between Wednesday, Nov. 25th through Friday, Nov. 27th as advisors will be out of office.

  • Monday, Nov.  23rd: 9 – 11 am, and 2 – 4 pm
  • Tuesday, Nov. 24th: 9 – 11 am, and 2 – 4 pm
  • Monday, Nov. 30th: 9 – 11 am, and 2 – 4 pm
  • Tuesday, Dec. 1st: 9 – 12 pm, and 2 – 4 pm
  • Wednesday, Dec. 2nd: 9 – 12 pm, and 2 – 4 pm
  • Thursday, Dec. 3rd: 9 – 12 pm, and 2 – 4 pm
  • Friday, Dec. 4th: 9 – 12 pm, and 2 – 4 pm

Additionally, if you have one or two quick questions, wish to share documents (forms, semester plans, etc.) with an advisor, or are unavailable for walk-ins, please connect with an advisor via email at advising@phhp.ufl.edu. Emails are monitored by multiple staff members and are typically responded to within one business day.
