First Day

You want to make sure the new advisor has a great first day and has an opportunity to meet key stakeholders. Review the steps below to ensure a successful start.

  • The Welcome Committee will meet with the new Professional Academic Advisor (PAA) as a welcome to the department.
  • Verify that the new PAA and Advising Unit Lead have met.
  • Review the PAA training modules, including goals of completion, and why it’s necessary. PRV802 (FERPA Basics) and PVO100 (Academic Advising in myUFL) must be taken first to request roles.
  • Training Lead reviews training schedule with the PAA.
  • Take PAA to lunch.
  • The supervisor will schedule a time to meet with the Training Lead and Advising Unit Lead to review the position’s responsibilities, communication, and involvement within the first two weeks.
