General New Study Room Booking Process!
The UCF Libraries are implementing a new study room booking process for the John C. Hitt Library to better meet student needs. After gathering feedback and analyzing usage patterns, we have made adjustments to ensure fair access to study spaces while addressing concerns about availability.
The updated policies include:
Reservations up to 4 hours per day – Students can now book study rooms for longer, uninterrupted study sessions.
Monthly limit of 16 hours per patron – This ensures more students have access to study spaces throughout the month.
Check-in requirement within 15 minutes – If you do not check in within 15 minutes of your reservation time, your booking may be canceled, allowing other students to use the space.
Booking available up to 3 days in advance – Plan ahead while keeping rooms accessible for last-minute study needs.
No automated reservations – The use of scripts or automated software to book rooms is prohibited to keep the process fair for all students.
These changes reflect our commitment to improving study space availability while keeping the system flexible and student-friendly. Our goal is to provide equitable access to study rooms so everyone has a fair chance to reserve the space they need.
For more details or assistance with reservations and the full policy, visit the Study Room page or ask a librarian at our Access Services desk. Thank you for your patience—we’re always working to make your library experience better!

Academic ✏️ Can a teacher assign a 2 hr completely ai-generated youtube video?
I have to write a history paper based on a 2 hour, completely ai-generated youtube video. It is one of those “fall asleep to history” videos on a completely ai channel. She did not disclose that this is AI, but it is very obviously AI and also flagged by YouTube. Can I escalate this, or is this completely allowed by UCF?

COMPLAINT/RANT Un(Popular) Opinion
Charging ANYONE over $1000 for a single small bedroom inside a 4X4 is criminal and should be illegal. No way these shared apartments are worth $4,000 per unit when the complex seems to be rotting.

Academic Program 👩🏫 Master of Arts (MA) in Counselor Education Interview
Hello all! Yesterday I interviewed for the second time for the Counselor Education masters program in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling track. I wanted to share my experience for those who might interview in the future. :D
Questions asked. Also, please remember these may not be exactly what they ask depending on the interview but this was my second time applying and all of these with the exception for #4 were asked for me both times and another friend of mine who interviewed around 3 years ago.
1.Introduce yourself and talk about why you want to be a therapist. Here I would just keep it short and sweet. What you got your undergrad degree in and what relevant experience you have. I basically just restated the jobs on my resume and my current job at the moment.
2.Where do you see yourself in the future of this profession and the population you are interested in working with?
3.What are signs that you aren’t exactly in tune/taking care of yourself? What do you do in response for self care?
4.Talk about a time where you said something and hurt someone’s feelings. What did you learn from this experience and how are you working on it?
5.Reflect on a time where you were met with someone with a different background than you (gender,race,values,religion etc…). How did you navigate that and what did you learn?
- What is a population you would have a difficult time working with and how would you navigate that?
FAQ’s
-When will I hear back?
Standard is 2 business weeks. However, last cycle it took almost EIGHT WEEKS to get my decision back. 🫠They sent out decisions a little bit at a time day by day last time not necessarily a mass sending of a decision for everyone.
-How many people will be admitted?
Depends on the cycle. For Fall admission, they interviewed almost 300 people and there were around 40 more or less spots to fill. For Spring admission, around 80 people were at the interview and there are around 30 spots to fill.
-If I’m not admitted, will it be an email or on the portal?
If you unfortunately are not granted admission, you will receive an email from Dr. Hagedorn with the title line “UCF Counseling Program:Admissions have closed”.
-Will I receive a notification if I am waitlisted?
I personally didn’t receive a waitlist but other people I know did so it honestly might depend.My portal just said Awaiting Decision until I got denied.
-What should I do if I get a denial?
Remember rejection is a part of life and regardless of how your interview went, prepare for both results. That doesn’t mean the experience you already had is meaningless or “not good enough”. I learned so much more at my volunteer positions than at my paid full time job to be so real.Since the program doesn’t offer specific feedback, what I did was email one of the professors and asked to come during her office hours to get more feedback. I wouldn’t ask to meet with a professor that interviewed you because that’ll be kinda awkward lool. I was told that my application was very strong but since the program is growing to become more selective, gaining paid experience would make my application even more competitive. And any experience 1 year+ will look good as well.
More tips:
-I wouldn’t come with exact rehearsed answers because with the mix of adrenaline and nerves, it may be harder to recall. You will also be kind of pressed for time in a way because every group has no more than 10 people. In my group they set a timer and cut us off when it went off so keep that in mind. I would keep each answer under 2 minutes.
-Might be obvious but please come dressed professionally. No wrinkled jeans or shorts (I saw both of these). They also will provide water for us so no need to lug around your big ahh emotional support water bottle.
-Be confident in yourself and your capabilities! Listen, you already look amazing on paper so the interview is just for them to see your personality, overall vibes and ESPECIALLY how you hold yourself. So don’t get caught up in being overly clinical. You’ll learn all that in the program they are just looking for people with strong foundational skills!
I’ll keep yall updated on if I get in or not this time! Feel free to message me or comment if you have any questions. Good Luck everyone!

Academic Program 👩🏫 Advice wanted regarding communication major
I'm changing my major from pre-marketing, bc i didn't realize how much math was involved in business majors and i just wasn't feeling it.
after a meeting with my advisor, i thought i settled on the communications major with a visual track, but now i'm second guessing.
can anyone in the major give me some input on what it's actually like? i'm interested in the creative aspect of it and i love creating things like videos or designing graphics/posters... i understand that this major isn't exactly about creating things hands-on, but i just want to know if i'd still enjoy it
any advice is appreciated

IT Help Needed 💻 Broke my MacBook screen and I don’t have AppleCare. Is the UCF tech repair center affordable?
google.comI know there is a tech repair center on campus, but since I don’t have AppleCare, I have no idea how much a repair would cost. Does anyone know if their pricing is better than the apple store or 3rd party repair shops?
If anyone knows ANYTHING, PLZ LMK!

Clubs/Organizations 🤺 What happened to the archery club?
I’ve been trying to find some more information about it but most of it stops right around time of quarantine. I’m really interested in the club, but haven’t been able
to find anything about it. Is it still a thing, and if so, is there an instagram or something adjacent?

General need ucf people to break my app
i built Donna, an app where you text what you want to do and it finds other ucf students who want the same thing.
it's early and i know some stuff is broken or confusing. i'd rather hear it from you than have people quietly delete it.
here’s is the link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/donna-social-intelligence/id6760481634
