For new undergraduate Gators, we only have one word: Welcome!
You’re now officially part of this community, so let’s start connecting you with people and places and resources! It all happens at New Gator Registration Day.
And just so you know, this event is mandatory for all new undergraduate students. You’ll need to check in with Admissions to make sure your deposit is paid, and then once that’s done, your next step is to register for one of three available dates. (Only one – you don’t need to come to all three.)
Registration Day is an opportunity to meet with your academic advisor, build and walk your class schedule, and do a number of other important and fun things (like getting your student ID photo snapped and exploring campus on a student-led scavenger hunt…)
See you there!
