More information
is also available on the World Wide Web at: http://web.history.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.
Commencing in the Fall
Semester, 1998, the Department of History will offer a new type of degree
program that will enable outstanding undergraduate History majors to obtain
a BA and an MA after the successful completion of 152 credit hours. The
program is designed for the student who wishes to continue her/his education
in history past the undergraduate level but who does not desire a career
as a professional historian. Advanced training in history can provide students
with the intellectual tools needed for success in a wide variety of careers.
