several university-wide <strong>of</strong>fices to ensure that<br />
select students are given a comprehensive<br />
opportunity to succeed academically <strong>and</strong><br />

services <strong>and</strong> academic enrichment activities<br />
by the Student Enrichment Services <strong>Program</strong><br />

such areas as Academic Advising, Housing,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Financial Affairs, all <strong>of</strong> whom are eager<br />
to make the <strong>AIM</strong> studentÕs first year exciting<br />

Year-Long Plan<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the most important features <strong>of</strong> the <strong>AIM</strong><br />
<strong>Program</strong> is its year-long learning plan designed<br />
to strengthen <strong>and</strong> enhance studentsÕ existing<br />
academic skills. Students begin their UF career<br />
in the six-week Summer B term by enrolling in<br />
one <strong>of</strong> three different math courses. Additionally,<br />
students register for a three-credit English<br />
class, which helps them gain confidence in their<br />
ability to comprehend, discuss, <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong><br />
the basics <strong>of</strong> college-level writing. Students who<br />
successfully complete the year-long learning plan<br />
will fulfill all <strong>of</strong> their math <strong>and</strong> half <strong>of</strong> their<br />
writing Gordon Rule requirement.<br />

Academic Advising<br />
Academic advisors are available to inform <strong>AIM</strong><br />
students about the requirements for their majors.<br />
While in the <strong>AIM</strong> <strong>Program</strong>, students must meet<br />
with an academic advisor in order to get<br />
assistance in selecting courses <strong>and</strong> to assess<br />
their academic progress. For more information,<br />
read the <strong>AIM</strong> FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)<br />
online at www.advising.ufl.edu/aim.<br />

Housing<br />
Since all housing contracts at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Florida</strong> are established on a first-come, firstplaced<br />
system, <strong>AIM</strong> students should pay<br />
specific attention to all literature distributed by<br />
the Division <strong>of</strong> Housing. Students must sign a<br />
housing contract well before the start <strong>of</strong> the<br />
summer semester in order to ensure a space<br />
in an on-campus residential hall.<br />
Financial Aid<br />
All <strong>AIM</strong> students are encouraged to apply for<br />
financial aid as early as possible. Many <strong>AIM</strong><br />
students will qualify for assistance with college<br />
costs, especially since they are admitted to the<br />
summer term. However, all financial awards<br />
are made on a priority basis, so the sooner<br />
students apply, the better their chances.<br />
Students should also arrange for direct deposit<br />
with their financial institution to help speed up<br />
the process.<br />
