Transfer and Transition Services University of Central Florida

Welcome


The Office of Transfer and Transition Services is proud to provide you with the new UCF Transfer Student Counseling manual for 2007 - 2008 on CD-ROM.

The Office of Transfer and Transition Services continues to be a nationally recognized team of advocates for students and a model advising support program, promoting undergraduate students' academic preparation, transition, and progress toward graduation. Through collaboration and partnerships with internal and external constituencies, the office remains cutting-edge in providing opportunities for student success.

The Office of Transfer and Transition Services provides information, referrals, advocacy, outreach, and major exploration support to enhance students' successful academic preparation, transition, and progress toward graduation. We provide these services to transfer and transitioning undergraduate students through pre-admission and transition advising; coordination of articulation agreements with community colleges, universities, and other school partners; and through publications and other communications for all constituents.

Improved technologies allow us more flexibility and increased space to provide more information. The CD offers easy access to majors, minors, and certificates as well as the ability to print a copy for your reference. In addition, we are still providing the information through our Web site, whose use increases every month.

The transfer counseling manual and the UCF catalog are virtually identical. There are some changes in the manual this year, reflecting new majors and some changes in majors, programs, and a new school. We have also added direct links to significant UCF Web sites.

Using our CD-ROM version is easy: In order to view most files on this CD, Adobe Acrobat Reader is required. You can install Adobe Acrobat Reader (the software our CD uses that allows you to view the PDF file format) through this link.

On behalf of the UCF faculty, staff, transfer students, and my staff in Transfer and Transition Services, I would like to thank you for all of your hard work and efforts on behalf of students. As always, please call us (407-823-2231) whenever you have a question or need further information. You can also reach us by e-mail at tservices@mail.ucf.edu. Please feel free to refer your students to one of our Peer Mentors for transition advising; they can be reached by e-mail at tsmentor@mail.ucf.edu or by phone on the Student Hotline (407-823-5959).

We appreciate your support of the University of Central Florida and look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future.

Sincerely,
Charlene A. Stinard, Director
