Web site referral handout
The School of Business created a half-page handout for students that lists UF, college, and outside URLs that contain commonly requested information. When students come in to our office and ask for information on FACTS.org, correspondence study, majors or minors, the CRC, graduate programs, UF or internal forms, or even the pre-law or pre-health advising, we can supplement the verbal information we give them by checking off the appropriate URL and handing them this page. It can be a real time saver during peak advising, and it also encourages students to seek out information on their own. Perhaps you could create your own web site handout and tailor it for students in your department or college?

UF’s Office of Institutional Planning and Research
Do you like facts and figures? Would you like to know more about our student body? If so, check out the Office of Institutional Planning and Research website. There, you can out find data on how many students are in a particular major or college; how UF students’ experience and view our school (SERU data); course enrollment; the UF organizational chart; transfer admissions; and UF student life, such as the average age of UF students, how many live on or off campus, and how many belong to a fraternity or sorority.

If you have a great advising tool that you’d like to share with other advisors, let us know by e-mailing Kari Ward.
