Kep’s Korner

by Glenn Kepic

The AAC recently ran a few advisor training sessions and I would like to thank those of you from around campus who attended. One question that came up was how non-AAC advisors could gain access to the AAC Advisor Manual. If you are not an academic advisor in the AAC or an undergraduate coordinator in CLAS, you must request the role: UF_N_ADV_UG_PROCEDURE from your Department Security Administrator (DSA) for access to the AAC Manual. This is now required because of UF's change from Gatorlink authentication to Shibboleth. The UF Bridges team keeps a full list of current DSAs.

Please be aware that some of the documents are specific to AAC policies while others are internal documents, but much of the content contained in the manual is relevant to advisors campus wide.
