The continental United States (48 states) is divided into four time zones. EST, one of the time zones, stands for Eastern Standard Time. Atlanta, Georgia, Headquarters American University of Florida, follows EST. Atlanta’s standard time zone is Greenwich Mean Time minus five (GMT - 5). But, for several months each year, many states observe Daylight Savings Time.

In many states in the United States, every year in the Spring, clocks are brought forward by one hour; in the Fall/Autumn, clocks are brought back by one hour. For example, if Standard Time in Florida is Greenwich Mean Time minus five (GMT – 5), then, from Spring to Fall (check web sites below for exact dates), Daylight Savings Time is Greenwich Mean Time minus four (GMT - 4).

Students can access academic information, update records, and submit assignments, electronically at any time. But certain student services are available during office hours only: from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday. Saturday and Sunday our employees observe the weekend. Remember, emails are sometimes delivered a little late. So though you may have sent us a query on Friday morning, we may not have received it until after hours. Rest assured, if you tried to contact us after hours, and if the message was delivered, you will be contacted first thing Monday morning.
