The UF Directory is the sole source of contact information for the University of Florida’s faculty, staff and students. Information entered into the Directory populates the myUFL systems. Each college and department has a Directory Coordinator that manages this information using the Admin Menu in myUFL. Individuals may update their own contact information or ask their Directory Coordinator for assistance.
