Academic Advising


CISE academic advisors are an invaluable resource for students at all stages of their academic careers.

They are available to help you plan your program of study, resolve problems and provide valuable career guidance. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with their academic advisors at least once per semester.

Students should check their ufl email every day. It is the ONLY way we have to officially communicate to our students. If we send a message that the student fails to read and that failure negatively affects the student in some way, it is the student’s responsibility.

Graduate advising

You can reach all graduate advisors by email at [email protected].

For questions about graduate applications, please contact Kristina Sapp at CISE graduate admissions.

UF Online students

Contact Matt Williams for any advising needs.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS include your UFID when corresponding, and ALWAYS email from your ufl address.
