Summer 2023 and Fall 2023 enrollment appointment dates and times will be available on Monday, March 6 for CURRENT students. Students can find their enrollment appointment date and time on the myUCF accounts.
“Enrollment appointments” are the date and time each student may individually begin to enroll in courses for the subsequent semester. If they haven’t already, your student should make an appointment with their advisor and talk about their enrollment plan for upcoming semesters, how to resolve holds, check on course prerequisites, etc. Students can meet with academic advisor multiple times whenever new registration concerns arise.
Meeting with an academic advisor NOW can help your student be confident with class registration and be more successful with registering for the classes they need LATER.
Midterm exams are approaching and can be stressful!
In March, students are now realizing that exams are around the corner, chapters are still unread, or maybe a paper or project with an upcoming deadline has been forgotten. Although Spring Break is around the corner, students can feel huge pressure because midterms often account for 20-40% of a class’s final grade.
Students may start to feel the stress of academic performance. Some students thrive on stress and seem to take it in stride, but for many students, this stress can feel debilitating.
As parents or supporters, remind them this is part of the rhythm of academic year. Although midterms are important, it is only one part of a full semester’s class. Maybe it is a good time to encourage them to find their own stress management skills as well. Lastly, try to encourage them to tackle this in their own way since they are now an independent college student; building skills to tackle tough exams or the stressors around them are important skills needed in college and beyond.
Also remember, the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) gives students ownership of their academic information. All academic information goes directly to your student, not to you. Read more about what FERPA means for you and your student on the UCF Registrar’s Office website.
