Are you a First Time in College (FTIC) student interested in becoming a UCF Knight, or have you been recently accepted and are not sure about your major decision? If so, consider starting your college career as Undeclared. Through major exploration, you can discover…
A Universe of Possibilities and Explore Your Path to Your Major!
The Knights Major Exploration and Transition Center (KMETC) coaches current and active undergraduate UCF students from New Student Orientation through the major declaration process.
While we aren’t able to discuss major exploration 1:1 prior to orientation, prospective students can learn more about being Undeclared at UCF and the Major Exploration Program through the UCF Open House program. This program has been designed for prospective and admitted students before their first semester at UCF. Students receive information about different degree programs, why attending UCF is a great experience for students, and to hear directly from faculty and staff in specific program you may interested in.
Undergraduate Admissions is available to answer any questions regarding admissions criteria, residency, and scheduling a campus tour.
If you have been admitted to UCF, welcome!
If you have not registered for orientation, please visit New Student and Family Programs (NSFP) to register for the appropriate orientation as soon as possible.
For incoming Undeclared students, the process of exploration begins at orientation.
Undeclared students can expect to receive information from your assigned KMETC Academic Success Coach (ASC) leading up to your selected orientation date. Prior to your orientation date, Undeclared students will be expected to complete items on the New Student Task List and be required to complete Pre-Orientation requirements, such as Immunization Forms, Expected Credit Evaluations, and Pre-Orientation Modules.
Students should also plan to have all unofficial transcripts or score reports of any incoming credit to UCF, even if official score reports and transcripts have already been sent to the University. These documents may be used to assist ASC’s with scheduling planning and override processes, if needed.
Meetings with KMETC ASC’s are not available prior to orientation.
Students who have completed coursework at an institution other than UCF, can use the Transfer Credit Equivalency Portal to learn how their credits may transfer into UCF.
Please note: The information in the portal is derived from current transfer credit rules in the UCF system. If a course is not included in the database, that does not mean it will not transfer. It means that your course(s) must be evaluated by UCF personnel. This evaluation process is done by UCF faculty.
Once UCF receives your official transcripts from your transfer institution, some credits may be transferred and applied automatically while others may require an evaluation.
If you think additional course work should be considered for evaluation, please follow the procedures as outlined through Academic Petitions – Transfer Credit Evaluation Request.
Students will attend a presentation given by KMETC ASC's who will work to introduce students to the major exploration process by providing them with an opportunity to learn about exploration resources, the major exploration program, and action items to get the conversation started after orientation.
A student who has yet to officially declare a major at UCF. Students will work with the Knights Major Exploration and Transition Center through the Major Exploration Program.
A student who is interested in an area or field of study, but not a specific major within that area. Student can apply to UCF as Undecided within a college of interest, and work with the specific college for advising and exploring within the college’s disciplines
