Advising

Currently, PHHP advisors (Rob and Andrea) are only meeting with first and second year PHHP majors and UF students considering a PHHP minor. During the advanced registration period for Summer and Fall ’24 (3/18 to 4/5) PHHP advisors are available via zoom drop-ins and email only. Please see the zoom drop-in schedule and instructions below to get connected to a PHHP advisor. Regular individually scheduled advising appointments will be available again starting Monday, April 8th.

For students recently admitted into the upper division portion of the program, first refer to instructions sent in your decision email (sent Friday, March 8) for instructions and aid.

CURRENT JUNIOR AND SENIOR PHHP majors: All students currently completing the upper division portion of their programs should contact their department staff or program director for advising assistance. Health Science majors may contact Dr. Pomeranz or Kendra Hamilton; Public Health majors may contact Dr. Dixon, Tyler Brown, or Meredith Nappy; Communication Sciences and Disorders majors may contact Dr. Adams-Mitchell or Brenda McDonnell.

Zoom Drop-Ins are brief meetings (15 minutes or less) so advisors may assist as many UF students as possible before the end of advanced registration.  Zoom Drop-Ins are intended for items such as: clearing holds, dropping one course, registration planning for this semester, transient student questions, limited course advising, and questions about minors. 

To see an advisor during Zoom Drop-Ins, you must first sign into our advising lobby (link below) and then enter our Zoom room. Failure to complete Step 1 before entering our PHHP Advising Drop-In room (Step 2) will result in you not appearing on an advisor’s queue and therefore you will not be seen.

Due to the volume of student inquiries, Zoom Drop-Ins are for current UF students only. Non-UF students who have questions about our undergraduate programs should email advising@phhp.ufl.edu.

Zoom Drop-In Schedule

Monday, March 18th through Wednesday, March 20th from 9a-noon and 2p-4p.

Thursday, March 21st 9a-noon ONLY

Friday March 22nd to Friday, April 5th (weekdays only) from 9a-noon and 2p-4p.

STEP 2
