To: Graduate Students, cc: Department Chairs, Graduate Coordinators, Administrative Staff Welcome to the Spring 2004 term! In an effort to keep you better informed and simplify our method of communication, the Graduate School will be using the new university website at http://my.ufl.edu. This website is the now the official communication portal for students, faculty, and staff. For the last few years, graduate students have been receiving e-mail messages (via GatorLink accounts) from the Graduate School. During Fall 2003, all notices were sent by e-mail and also posted to the new my.ufl.edu website. Beginning this term, we will be posting most messages exclusively on this new website, so you should expect to check it regularly for all information related to policies, procedures, funding opportunities, campus activities, etc. The site should be more helpful than messages since notices can stay posted for a longer time. E-mail will be reserved for brief reminders or for critical time-sensitive information. To view graduate notices, subscribe to the Graduate Student section within the Student News pagelet by using the following directions. Best wishes for a successful term! ____________________________________ Directions Log on to myUFL at http://my.ufl.edu with your GatorLink username and password.
