Mission of the Advisory Council for Undergraduate Affairs
The Advisory Council for Undergraduate Affairs (ACUA) is responsible for advising the Office of Undergraduate Affairs (OUA) on all aspects of the UF undergraduate student experience, especially with respect to impacts on the undergraduate academic experience. Members of ACUA include representatives of all undergraduate degree-granting colleges, of OUA, the Division of Student Life, the Division of Enrollment Management, the Office of General Counsel, and other campus partners that engage directly or indirectly in the undergraduate academic experience. The overarching objective of monthly meetings of this Council is to develop strong relationships among UF Administration and its many campus leaders and partners to ensure consistent cross-campus communication and seamless support for UF's undergraduate students. To this end, ACUA provides support for each member in accomplishing the work within their respective unit.
