First-Year Advising

What We Do


Welcome to the First-Year Advising Office (FYA) website. Our office provides academic advising for all first-year students and any student still exploring majors. Our website is filled with the information and tools you need to explore UNF's offerings and access important resources. We hope this site will be your road map to a successful transition to the University.

 

Welcome New Ospreys!


Once you have been admitted to the University of North Florida, be sure to register for your First-Year Student Orientation. After you register, we request you do a little pre-orientation preparation to get the most out of the advising component of your orientation. Below are a few things to do before attending your orientation.
  • Review the First-Year Advising Guide below
  • Review the valuable information in Canvas under the "New to the Nest" tile to help you get started as a new Osprey
  • Record any accelerated credit you may be bringing into UNF, i.e. any dual enrollment courses, AP, IB or AICE exams you may have taken, and bring this information with you to your orientation session
