Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) are advised by the Academic Advising Center (AAC), a centralized office with a team of professional academic advisors. CLAS majors are not assigned to an academic adviser, but can request a specific adviser. Students also receive advice from their major/department on major-specific questions. Biology, Zoology, and Botany departmental advising is conducted by designated AAC advisors (see below).

In addition, the Academic Advising Center also advises all UF students who are exploratory, pre-health, pre-law, or in the first year of the AIM program.  All AAC advisers advise exploratory students. Designated AAC advisers advise pre-health, pre-law, and AIM students.

The AAC provides advising services primarily on a walk-in basis from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays, although appointments, e-mail, and phone advising services are also available.
