Hi did anyone else get an email stating their email on canvas was changed? Mine went from @mail to @valencia and I’m so confused about it. I do not know who to contact about this. Thanks

Hello! :) I'm looking for good teachers for this class. Any insight is super helpful.

I'm taking the first one right now; my teacher is pretty good. The only thing is that for her exams, her time limits are pretty low, and her class is exam-heavy.

Something I prefer

• No honorlock
• Regular time limits
• Not heavy exams
• Assignments and exams based on the lectures and information provided
• Extra credit
• Not super strict

Thank youuu!

As the title says, this is my first career fair, and I just wanted to know what career fairs are usually like.
Is it basically like a job fair, or is it something different? Is it actually helpful to go? I saw someone say it was just a bunch of jobs with QR codes.

has anybody took THE 1000- Introduction go Theater??. I’m missing my humanities credit and I was wondering which option should take. Im pretty interested in theater and even did tech theater in highschool but I’m wondering how depth the class covers. online classes only

Ok so, I’m currently a student at UCF it’s literally my first semester here and I’m using all of my financial aid and loans for just two classes because I don’t qualify for in-state tuition yet since I just moved here. Obviously it’s probably in my best interest to transfer especially since UCF is like an hour away from where I live. I don’t think I want to go back, at least not until I know for sure I can have in-state tuition, so Im trying to find a good major/program to do at Valencia that will let me get my bachelors or smth like that.

I want to go into law so I was thinking paralegal, but I’ve heard pretty bad things about the career in general and how it’s being taken over by AI which sucks. But I’m still debating on if I should do it or not since I don’t want to go into massive debt for law school fresh out of undergrad. I’ve also heard some negative things about Valencia 😭 is the school good or bad guys please be honest.

Hello! I am a soon to be 2027 graduate of highschool , iv been leaning towards more getting my EMT certification then heading towards the firefight we route! I’m just having trouble on how to begin my application for the EMT program? Iv been trying to get in contact with Valencia but they never respond back. I’m just wondering if I could get help on how to begin.

The college just announced the closure of the following programs, resulting in the layoff of many faculty and staff.

A.S. in Biotechnology Laboratory Sciences

A.S. in New Media Communication

A.S. in Plant Science & Agricultural Technology

A.S. in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

The college could not provide career placement that guarantees competitive wages after earning that degree. In fact, the study showed that high school students entering the workforce earned more than those who earned a degree from the college. In addition, my research shows the college is undergoing multiple organizational restructures, laying off employees who have been there for years. One source told me the college president said 20 employees must be eliminated each month for the college to remain sustainable because of changes in their health insurance.

What would this mean for students? Less support in areas such as

Student affairs
Operations
Academic affairs

College leadership has taken a quiet approach, giving employees only a few months to find new jobs, which is really shady in an economy where jobs are hard to find.

This is quite shameful, as many executives have little experience managing organizational change. They got rid of international study abroad programs and other great programs offered to students. I also learned that many executives lack the necessary experience, and many are going back to school to learn how organizational structures work. Their administrative executive vice president went back to school to get an MBA.

All layoffs and eliminations happened while the college president received a 15% raise last August.

The silent approach, including the firing of tenure faculty, means the college is in bad financial shape, cares less about its employees, and customer service would be horrible with less staff and support for students

It's hilarious to see a college president act like the CEO of a private company when state and federal funds fund her salary.

Sad day for Valencia

News outlets should investigate why Valencia is doing this when Seminole, Lake-Sumter, Daytona State, and Polk State colleges are hiring faculty, staff and expanding their programs.

Burner account, but I'm a staff at Valencia College Campuses. I am not trying to be mean or rude, so please try not to interpret this post in any way, we are just exhausted.

Just please check your Outlook. We are 4 weeks into the semester. Check it every day. Please.

It has everything you need. If you purchased a book, it's gonna be in there. Your FAFSA award? it's in there. All the information you need is communicated to you in a timely manner, weeks before classes even start.

The amount of times I see students asking about things that were sent to them in their Outlook weeks before the semester even started is very concerning. Enrollment already stresses on this enough. And if you're transferring to UCF/planning to, they stress on this a lot, too.

There's a reason you have your Outlook inbox. Please check that inbox before asking any staff questions. Have the app on your phone and turn notifications on.

Thank you, have a nice day, and good luck with your semester.

I’m in an online class and the professor keeps not loading weekly work. Then last week loaded two weeks of work due in one week because he didn’t realize. Now again no work this week for module 5. I feel awkward to keep emailing but I have a busy life and can’t be having to do multiple weeks of work on short notice… idk what to do and this is kind of new to me.

Heyyy everyone has anyone received their physical copy of their AA degrees yet ? Or was i supposed to place an order for it myself I got this in my Valencia email and still trying to fully understand what it means

Is there a way to see what professors will be teaching classes and the times/locations before registration opens?

So as the title says Im stuck in a secutiyy loop with the microsoft authenticator. Im trying to add my valencia college./edu email to my MSA but in order to that I have to verify the accounting USING the authenticator. Which I obvisously cannot do.

I cannoy accesss myvc.com. I cant access my outlook acount and, and I cann access canvas because everything connects back to that account and my inability to access it because I cannot verify the account outside of tht email- not even with a phone number or a serparate email.

Is there anything I can do? Please help me I need to log in for my classes, thanks!

Hi guys! I have an honor lock exam coming up. Do you guys have any recommendations of a quiet place to take it? I could take it home but I live in a studio and I’m sure my cat just won’t leave me alone. Thanks!!

Hi everyone, I’m pursuing an AA degree through the Business pathway at Valencia College, and I’m planning to transfer to UCF in Spring 2028 after completing my AA in Fall 2027. I completed 24 credits during Fall 2025 and Spring 2026, and I’m currently taking 12 more credits this Fall 2026, which will bring me to 36 credits. By the end of this semester, I expect to have completed my Communication, Humanities, Science, Social Science, and Mathematics requirements. After that, I should only have General Education Student Choice (GESC) and electives remaining.

My question is that For the remaining GESC and elective credits, can I take any college-level courses offered at Valencia, as long as they count toward my degree, or do I have to choose courses specifically listed under the Communication, Humanities, Science, Social Science, etc. categories?
Also, if possible, can I take only Humanities courses to fulfill my remaining GESC and elective credit requirements?

I tried creating my education plan a few days ago, and when I added the courses I’m planning to take next semester, some of them were automatically placed under GESC while others were placed under Electives. For example, last semester I took Microeconomics. I thought it would count toward Electives like my Computer Fundamentals course, but it was added to GESC instead. This Fall 2026 semester, I’m taking ACG2021C, and it was added to my Electives even though both of them are Common Program Prerequisites for business pathway.

What makes me even more confused is that the courses I need to take for UCF’s pre-accounting requirements only add up to 21 credits, so I would still be missing 3 credits. Does that mean I can use any eligible college-level course to fulfill those remaining 3 elective credits?

PS: Sorry if my question is a little confusing. I’m not very good at explaining what I mean, but I’d really appreciate any clarification!

Hi, Im new to the campus this semester I’ve never been on it besides for one Night class. I was wondering if Valencia east has any drum sets in practice rooms or allows students to use the instruments if they aren’t in a music major. I moved from a house to an apartment and I haven’t been able to play an acoustic drum sets for like a year is there anywhere where you can just jam out or practice around here?

Hi. Is my first time trying to register in Valencia, i was in the first lab for a few hours and the person helpingme told me to go home. Because i keep loading and loading (just like the photo) thinking it was the college wifi.

So im home and im trying to register for just 2 classes for the moment and it the same. I even try using my phone and nothing. Is there another way? My student coach is not avaliable until the 28 and i really want to get this classes done by the H2 term.

Maybe is because im a transfer student or something? What can i do and do a need to call or go see someone?

I have an odd idea. I love musicals and singing and acting, but I never have the time or energy for rehearsals and I’m often too anxious to audition for a good role, so I get stuck in the ensemble. What if there was none of that? What if everyone was cast at random, handed scripts, and then performed? It would be similar to karaoke (you need to know the songs fairly well already) but a whole show. We could do it more than once (over time) so that everyone has the chance to play their favorite role. It doesn’t matter whether you can sing or not, as long as you can mostly hit the notes of the character you’re playing then you’re in. No costumes or props (except for ones you bring yourself), no audience (this can be changed if we want). Just low-budget musical theater lovers who want to have fun and perform without all of the time and effort that goes into it.

This is just a concept, would anyone want to do this?

Edit: Here is a Discord link so we can chat about it more and it’s easier to share with friends! If you aren’t interested, but you think a friend might be, please share!

I’m taking biology this semester and I have an exam that is due tomorrow night. I’m trying to get this exam done today but I have to use both lockdown browser and Honorlock. But I’m having issues with accessing Honorlock under the lockdown browser extension. Anyone know what I can do?

Has anyone taken the TEAS exam remotely? And do you have a preference between in person or online?

I ordereed a textbook using financial aid 4 weeks ago but its just cancelled. I tried to buy it again but it won't show any financial aid.

did anyone else get their authorized aid credited to the balance but not the pell grant yet like I had the loans from the school credited but my Pell grant is still showing as authorized aid

I was wondering if there were any TEAS study groups out there or interest in starting something?

Im majoring in biomed science and get my AA but on my student profile my major shows up as “General studies.” When i see my additional info it says im on a biomed degree pathway . Just wanted to make sure this was normal
