Academic Advancement Programs (AAP) prepares UCF students — particularly underrepresented, lowincome and first-generation college students — to pursue graduate school. AAP works in collaboration with faculty, staff, local and national partners to provide a range of graduate school preparation programs and services. Students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of initiatives designed to increase their awareness and knowledge of the graduate school application process, graduate funding, summer research programs and fellowship opportunities.
ACADEMIC ADVISING DIVISION OF STUDENT LEARNING AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS Academic advising is an integral part of each student’s academic success and progression to graduation during their undergraduate experience. All students with a declared major will be assigned to their college advising office and begin this advising relationship during their orientation experience. Students who enter the University as an undeclared or exploratory student will work with an academic advisor in the Knights Major Exploration and Transition Center to strategically decide on an appropriate major. Once the new major has been established, the student will be transitioned to the appropriate college advising office. All students are encouraged to establish a relationship with their assigned college advisor to ensure a successful and meaningful undergraduate experience and are expected to meet with their assigned advisor each fall and spring.
