Orientation, Advising and Registration

Orientation and Registration
The College of Health and Public Affairs' Undergraduate Student Services office, located in Health and Public Affairs II, Suite 115, hosts a series of college orientations aimed at providing students with specific information they will need to successfully complete a degree program in the college. These orientations are held throughout the year in conjunction with general UCF orientations (see below). During the college orientations, students will receive academic advisement and will register for classes. For specific information, visit Undergraduate Student Service online or contact the office directly at 407-823-0010.

There are several different UCF orientations available for students depending on the program they are beginning. Initially, all students are required by the university to attend a general UCF orientation. These orientations are tailored to the status of the student, such as freshman or transfer student, and they aim to help students transition to the university. These sessions provide valuable information on such important topics as class schedules, immunization requirements, financial aid and student services.

Advising
The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders offers a full range of advising services, including academic, professional and personal advisement.

The academic advisers have regularly scheduled hours for walk-in advising and assist students throughout their programs of study.

Opening advising is offered Monday through Friday during specific times posted each week. A student may call or stop by the departmental office during the week or check the current "Open Advising Schedule" (see this link in the list of links at the top of this page).
