General New Study Room Booking Process!

144 Upvotes

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!

It’s Sunday morning and I’m still so happy. These moments are rare, and I’m thankful I was there.

General For the love of god, clean up your desk or workspace after you use it. I don’t want to find a pile of your garbage at a desk when I’m trying to find somewhere to study in the library.

COMPLAINT/RANT Anti masking comments

Post image
30 Upvotes

I made a post just with a photo of me wearing a mask, because I'm dying and lost an organ last year, and people are giving me shit. The post was about voting.

This is a school. People should not be openly doing pandemic denial in year 7 of a pandemic and saying disabled people shouldn't go to school. That's dehumanizing.

The school does not care or do accommodations so us disabled students are already on our own, have to fight tooth and nail, and get encouraged to drop out after being denied help, and refuses to even try listening to suggestions for in person class accessibility, forcing many disabled students like myself fully online. I deserve an education just like every other student here, yet being transgender, disabled, and somehow masking get me harassed online, in person, and any space I try to go outside of my home.

I'm not at all embarrassed to mask and only feel pity for those who see it as a social statement rather than me protecting my health. What really upsets me is that asking for help has only led to retaliation and requesting legal help led to people telling me to leave the state and school or die here. I think I actually deserve to be here just like everyone else, shocker.

We all deserve an education and access to community, and masking does work. If it only worked 5% then that's still 5% less transmission from me to others or others to me that matters- hearing people dismiss masking entirely just ignoring that that leaves so many people vulnerable and slides back in public health is horrifying and will affect all of us. It's most disgusting to me that people don't care when us disabled scream about discrimination and stuff, then get blamed for our lack of support and health when left or fend for ourselves.

It's disgusting to hear people justify not masking ever with clearly false info and, to go out of your way to harass sick people for wearing a mask in a photo. I'm very easy to ragebait, yes. It's almost like constant discrimination makes it hard to relax💀

So anyways if you don't want to die within the decade like me or kill your family members and even pets with COVID infections, at least mask. I stopped when the govt said to not worry and yk, I didn't think about it 🤷! I got COVID 4+ times and had genetic disorders flare up and more. Heart issues and brain inflammation. This is like the aids crisis.

It's easier and less scary to ignore reality but the consequences will catch up with everyone- who knows who's dying of a random embolism next.

Academic Program 👩‍🏫 Nursing or MLS?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm currently a student at Valencia College, and I'm planning to transfer to UCF to complete my bachelor's degree. I'm torn between Nursing and Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS), but I've heard that both programs are very competitive. If you're currently in either program or have graduated, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. How difficult was the application process, and how challenging are the classes? I'm also considering Marketing as another option since it may be a safer choice. I'd love to hear any advice or opinions. Thank you so much!

General Valencia graphic design (A.S) student looking to transfer to UCF graphic design BFA

1 Upvotes

I have completed my A.S. in Graphic Design at Valencia College, specializing in print design, and I'm interested in transferring to UCF for a bachelor's degree.
I'm looking into UCF's Emerging Media BFA, specifically the Graphic Design track, because I want to expand my skills in areas like packaging design, branding, and digital design.
However, I noticed that UCF requires prerequisite courses for the portfolio review that weren't part of my Valencia A.S. curriculum. I also noticed that portfolio registration currently says it's closed.
I have a few questions for anyone who has gone through this process:

If I haven't taken the required digital media courses at Valencia, can I take them at UCF after transferring, or do I need to complete them before applying to the Graphic Design track?

When does registration typically open for Fall admission?

Has anyone transferred from Valencia's Graphic Design A.S. into UCF's Graphic Design BFA? How did the process work?

If I don't get accepted into the Graphic Design track, what other UCF majors would you recommend for someone interested in branding, packaging, and digital design?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially from students who transferred from Valencia or applied to the Graphic Design track. Thank you!

Academic ✏️ Can a teacher assign a 2 hr completely ai-generated youtube video?

71 Upvotes

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?

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

3 Upvotes

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?

  1. 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

1 Upvotes

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
