To register for classes, you will need to visit your ONE.UF. Sign in with your Gatorlink and go to Register/View My Schedule, then select the semester you are registering for.
NOTE:
**You must clear all holds before you will be able to register or see your registration start time! Do this early, do not wait until registration day to do this!**
All advising forms can be found on the current students page on our website. You can also find these forms in our undergraduate update on TEAMS under the files in the "Academic Advising" channel.
Before your appointment, please prepare questions, review your degree audit, and have a plan for your next semester.
We ask all of our ANS students to make a graduation plan and update it throughout their time at UF. Advising sessions go better when students come with an updated plan. This allows your advisor to better review and give advice during the appointment.
We have created an ANS Academic Plan Template for students to use. But Excel is also a common tool for graduation plans. Whatever works for you!
Yes, drop-in advising is every Wednesday morning from 9 AM - 11:30 AM in the advising office. Come by for quick (5-10 minute) questions!
THIS IS EXCLUDING SUMMER TERM!
Amie Imler serves as the ANS Internship Coordinator. If you need to enroll in ANS 4941 Full-Time Practical Work Experience in Animal Science, book an appointment with Amie.
All internships (for credit) need to be pre-approved by Amie before you begin the internship! Please be mindful of the deadline to turn in internship paperwork to Amie. Email her with any questions regarding internship credit: amie.taylor@ufl.edu.
If you are not required to complete ANS 4941, we still encourage you to complete an internship experience. But you do not have to enroll in ANS 4941. If you have already fulfilled the requirement, you may freely complete more internships without enrolling for credit again.
All students are encouraged to build a network with professors here at UF. Our Animal Sciences faculty members serve as excellent mentors for undergraduate students. We encourage students to research our faculty using the people page on our website and make contact with someone whom you share interests with.
TIP: Sometimes it's better to drop by their office and ask if they have a moment to talk with you, or if you could schedule a time to come back. Face-to-face introductions go a long way!
Integrative students are required to have a faculty mentor!
For all information regarding ANS 4911, please visit this page.
There are over 100 UF Minors!
