About
The SAM Initiative is not just about technical processes; it aims to reshape the future of learning and establish the University of Florida as a leader in student-centered innovation. By providing students with essential tools and optimizing our administrative operations, we are committed to driving student success, increasing retention and graduation rates, and ensuring UF remains at the forefront of higher education.
We will achieve this through four primary objectives:
Help students achieve their educational goals efficiently by optimizing course offerings, scheduling, and an aligned registration and degree-planning process. This streamlined approach maximizes students’ time and career preparation.
Transform administrative operations through data-informed decision-making, automation, and innovative practices to ensure efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration across departments.
Advance the future of learning by embracing cutting-edge technologies, updated policies, and innovative practices—positioning UF as a leader in student-centered innovation and higher education.
Upgrade UF’s technology infrastructure by replacing outdated or custom systems with trusted modern solutions, including implementing Coursedog for approvals and scheduling and Stellic for degree audit and planning.
