New "ONE.UF" Schedule of Courses viewing option!

Until now, students viewed the Schedule of Courses in two ways, they would either go to www.registrar.ufl.edu/soc or view the schedule through www.isis.ufl.edu when they tried to register. These websites will continue to be supported and utilized.

But now there is a new additional version of the Schedule of Courses. https://one.ufl.edu/soc

The new ONE.UF Schedule of Courses is a searchable application that allows students to look for and find the courses that they would like. The new Schedule was designed to incorporate the functionality of the old Schedule (such as Publish, EEP, etc), while adding new functionality.
