INFORMATION

More information
is also available on the World Wide Web at: http://www.chm.ufl.edu/.
Information about the Academic Advising Center for the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences can also be found on our home page at: http://www.advising.ufl.edu/.
From this site you can find information about all majors or minors in the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. This page also contains many
useful links around campus and allows students to ask questions of an academic
advisor via e-mail. Students can check their academic records, register
for classes, and run a degree audit for any undergraduate major through
ISIS located at: http://www.isis.ufl.edu/.
Native students will
be permitted to change majors provided they are on-track according
to the minimum progression standards detailed in the undergrad catalog.
If you are not on-track for the appropriate semester, an academic
advisor in the AAC can assist you in a plan that will allow you to be admitted
to the major of your choice or discuss an alternate plan. All students
wishing to change to a major in Liberal Arts and Sciences must first
discuss their plans with an academic advisor in the AAC. Students
wishing to change to a major outside of the CLAS must contact the other
college directly.
The Academic Advising
Center is responsible for acting as an information and referral center
to provide faculty advisors and students with timely and accurate information
on university-wide requirements, policies, procedures, and referrals to
appropriate services. Students ultimately are responsible for knowing
and fulfilling all university, college, and major requirements for graduation.
Also, students are responsible for knowing and adhering to all university
policies and deadlines. It is recommended that you meet with an advisor
in your college each semester to discuss your academic progress.
Questions about major requirements should be directed to an undergraduate
advisor in the major department. The Academic Advising Center is
open M-F from 8-5 and students will be seen on a first come, first served
basis. Appointments can also be made by calling: (352) 392-1521.
We currently have 48
tenure track faculty, 9 teaching and research support faculty, over 200
graduate students, more than 75 postdoctoral and other scientific associates,
and 42 staff members. In addition to strong programs in analytical, inorganic,
organic, and physical chemistry, we have recently established a biochemistry
program, with 4 active faculty members, and also are the home of the internationally-renowned
Quantum Theory Project - an Institute for Theory and Computation in Molecular
and Materials Sciences. Last year we brought in over $9.5 million from
federal, foundation, industrial, and state sources to support our research
efforts. We occupy completely three buildings with about 150,000 sq. ft.
of research, teaching, and office space, and also have faculty assigned
to smaller areas in three other buildings. We teach over 8,000 students
annually in undergraduate and graduate level classes and laboratories,
and provide many hours of service to the university, state, and both national
and international journals and organizations.
