CIS Department - Hours of Operation: Department Office: Monday - Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm Advising Appointments: Monday - Thursday 10:00am - 5:00pm Walk-in Advising: Monday 1:00pm - 3:00pm   Tuesday 10:00am - noon Fall 2005 registration walk-in schedule (pdf file) Extended Hours during Registration: During registration regular hours of operation are extended Monday through Thursday until 6:00pm   Notes: Advising Appointments: When a student is admitted to the BS program in Computer and Information Sciences, an advising appointment is required to establish an individualized Program of Study. For this initial advising session, the student should bring along his or her UNF transcript evaluation (T.E.). Generally, after the initial session to establish a program of study, most advising needs for CIS students can be handled within the scope of the walk-in advising format. A regular advising appointment is called for whenever the issue at hand is of sufficient complexity that it cannot be covered within the scope of the walk-in format as discussed below. Walk-in Advising: Walk-in advising times are set aside to permit advisors to efficiently deal with the myriad of minor academic issues that students encounter in their academic pursuits, such as signature requests, permissions, or course substitutions. An issue that cannot be dealt with in a session of 10 minutes or less is not appropriate for a walk-in session. Creating a Program of Study or evaluating a student's transcript from another institution are examples of advising needs that are too complex to be dealt with during a walk-in session. In such cases, the student will be asked to schedule an appointment at a later time to deal with the advising need. Registration Walk-ins: During registration, academic advising is restricted to walk-in advising at selected times during the Department's hours of operation. Call for exact hours each semester. While the CIS office staff can deal with a small number of problems students encounter during registration, academic issues generally require consultation with an academic advisor. Because of the large number of small problems that occur during registration, regular advising appointments are not available during this time period.
