What is the Student Union?

You will choose your own sessions based upon the times they are offered. Many of our sessions do not repeat, and some even overlap, so you’ll have to decide which sessions best suit your interests. While activities are scheduled through 2:45 p.m., we advise that you arrive early and stay for the entire event to make the most of your visit.

Yes! All students have access to our 149,000-square-foot facility with fitness equipment, a track, multipurpose courts and a climbing wall, plus outdoor amenities like sand volleyball courts, a leisure pool, a lap pool and intramural sports fields.

The UCF Recreation and Wellness Center (RWC) comprises many programs, such as intramural sports, sport clubs, outdoor adventure, fitness and aquatics. The RWC is open to all students; paid memberships are available for non-students.

For students with disabilities: If you are in need of special accommodations to participate, please visit the Adaptive Recreation page.

It’s not part of the program, but UCF does have several options on and near the campus. There are plenty of places to get a drink and eat on campus too. It gets warm in Florida, so be sure to bring some water with you.

Are you interested in serving your fellow students through UCF’s Student Government Association? No SGA experience is required — just a passion for service!

There are over 650 student clubs and organizations you can get involved in.

It’s usually hot in Florida. Dress in layers to adjust to the changes in temperature from the heat outside to the air-conditioned buildings. There will be a lot of walking and Florida is sometimes rainy, so wear comfortable shoes and bring an umbrella — just in case. Shuttle service is not offered during Open House events.

Honor Your Knighthood assists new UCF students in developing an understanding of the importance UCF places on subject matters related to Academic Integrity, Alcohol Awareness and Sexual Assault Prevention.

Through the completion of three individual online modules, UCF students will begin to demonstrate tenets associated with the UCF Creed of integrity, scholarship, community, creativity and excellence. UCF is committed to student safety and success both inside and outside the classroom. All incoming UCF students are required to complete these online modules prior to the first day of class.

Admitted students will see the Honor Your Knighthood modules as requirements on their myUCF To-Do List. It can take up to three weeks for the requirement to be removed after successful completion of the modules.

Students must meet all eligibility and performance requirements for both the Burnett Honors College and the Medical Scholars Program.
