Undergraduate Services

Welcome to the office of Undergraduate Student Services (USS) in the College of Health and Public Affairs. The mission of our office is to provide the highest quality undergraduate advising for current and prospective students and faculty and staff members. USS professional advisors are ready to assist students to plan their academic path to a degree. We are ready to assist students with a wide range of items, in addition to undergraduate advisement, including: schedule planning and registration issues, transient requests and facilitating transfer course evaluation, academic probation policy questions, admission to limited-access majors, and graduation. Please take the opportunity to explore our website or come visit our office in HPA II, suite 115. Please do not hesitate to contact us, if we can be of assistance. We look forward to meeting with you in the future!

Mission Statement

In keeping with UCF's mission, the College of Health and Public Affairs recognizes that education is more than the classroom experience. Another component is academic advising, an educational process that begins at the university's orientation and continues at advising sessions that help students clarify their life goal and reach their maximum educational potential. Through academic advising, the college provides guidance, information and assistance to students. The College of Health and Public Affairs also ensures that each student makes the best possible use of the resources, programs and services that UCF has to offer.

Undergraduate Students Services within the College of Health and Public Affairs assists students in understanding matters relating to college and university requirements, policies, and procedures. Our office also coordinates orientation, registration and graduation for students in the college.

Students are invited to stop by and meet with an Undergraduate Student Services advisor to discuss any and all academic concerns. The office also supports faculty members and administrators by supplying advisement information and training, special policy waivers, and student record information.

The Undergraduate Student Services office meets with students on a walk-in basis Monday-Thursday from 9:00 a.m.-11:45 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.-4:45 p.m. in Health and Public Affairs (HPA) II, suite 115.
