I agree with Christine; I think the Access program is a great first step into college.
UCF recognizes that candidates strong enough to make their waitlist did not get there by accident.
You guys got there with a strong work ethic and determination. Those traits will be much more important to you than a score on some test, and they are very good predictors of success.
The Access program is designed to build upon those strengths to ensure that you kick butt at UCF.
Hi! I applied for housing about 3 days after I got accepted so around April 27th I applied for it and got accepted for housing about 2 days after that. I applied for the fall and spring housing and I believe it was called Academic Housing? Im not sure of the name but its the one with dorms like Neptune, Hercules, Nike, Apollo, etc. They told me that I will be able to chose my dorm in late May to early June.
Yes, there are two types of housing contracts. Academic Year housing contracts are for Fall and Spring terms. Annual housing contracts (Towers and NorthView, I believe) are for all three terms ā Fall, Spring, and Summer.
With Academic housing, you move out at the end of the Fall term. With Annual, you keep the room for the entire year and donāt have to move out and back in.
Im looking on the site for the math placement test and I see many different practice exams of algebra, trigonometry and precalculus. Some of them have unlimited attempts and the. 3 of them have only 1 attempt which are again algebra, trig and precalc. Is the ones that only have 1 attempt what UCF is going to look at to chose the best math course for you to take or are all of these just practice tests and the real math placement test is just 1 exam with all of the math components? Im just a little confused on how this works.
I believe the tests with unlimited attempts are the PRACTICE tests, and I assume the one attempt tests are the real deal.
I think someone posted that, when you actually take the real test, you take Algebra first. If you do well enough, you take Trig, and if you do well enough on that, you then take pre-calc.
There is an important difference, however. Students in Academic Year contracts may leave their belongings in their room, but they cannot STAY in the rooms between terms.
Students in Annual contracts may STAY in their rooms in between terms.
Academic Year Agreements are two semester (Fall and Spring) obligations that coincide with the duration of the Fall and Spring Semesters at UCF. During breaks between the Fall and Spring semesters, residents may not remain in their rooms (though belongings may remain)."
