Setup your UF Zoom account

  1. This step is critical for us to be able to contact you. If you don’t download the UF Zoom app, our advisors will not be able to reach you and you will lose your spot in line.
  2. Go to the Zoom Download Center.
    1. Download the “Zoom Client for Meetings”.
    2. You must have this installed and be logged in for an Advisor to call you. If you are not in the UF Zoom app, UF security will block us from being able to call you.
    3. Open your Zoom app on your device at least 10 minutes prior to your time block.
