Getting Started

Apply Online

Enrollment in UCF’s online courses and programs requires admission to the University.   Applications may be submitted online. Links are available at http://www.ucf.edu/apply_to_ucf.

Class Schedule and Registration

UCF operates on a semester calendar and multiple term class registration allows many students the ability to register for all three academic terms during the enrollment period. Students search the class schedule and register using the secure Web-based tools and forms available through the UCF portal at: https://my.ucf.edu. Complete information regarding access and use of these tools is provided in the Web Enrollment Guide which is produced by the UCF Registrar’s Office and available online at: http://registrar.ucf.edu/weg.

Find Online Classes

Each term, there are hundreds of individual courses offered online from departments across the university. Complete listings of all fully and partially web-based classes from the class schedule are excerpted and available on the Learning Online website at http://learn.ucf.edu/online-courses-programs/find-for-online-courses/. The database may also be browsed for courses offered within specified colleges or departments.

You may also search for online classes in the class schedule search facility at https://my.ucf.edu/schedulesearch.html  Search for “Mode of Instruction” equal to World Wide Web, Video Streaming or video Str/Reduced for classes that do not have campus attendance requirements.

Tuition Rates

The tuition and fee schedule is available online at:
