Simply put, we want to connect students with new learning opportunities which allow them to collaborate with peers, faculty, and communities.

Welcome

Finding the right connections makes a difference, both personally and professionally. Connections can help us become better students, employees, employers, and partners in life.

We are excited to present UCF Connect, our university’s approach to offering collaborative programs and services that are both unique and innovative. We have and will continue to create fully accessible channels for students to gain higher education degrees, and benefit from continuing education courses through our community partnerships, collaborative experiences, and advanced technologies.

Education should be a positive and impactful experience. We hope you use your time at UCF to connect, create and inspire. As always, your success is our success!
