UCF COLLEGES

“ I felt I was crossing a bridge throughout the Global UCF program — engaging and understanding American culture, mapping my career path and fully navigating my academic options. Global UCF is designed to meet the needs of international students, providing an outstanding academic and cultural framework for living and studying at UCF, as well as career preparation.” — JULIA from Brazil


HIMANSHU from India

“Within Global UCF, there are so

many different points of view,

and hearing them helps you see

the world with a new perspective.

It’s not only about what we do

but who we do it with, and

Global UCF has connected me

with great people.”

DASHA from Russia

“ Global UCF provides opportunities

for you to develop the skills to

use not only in your major, but

in your entire life. My skills, my

personality, my ideas, everything

changed. Global UCF helped me

figure out who I am and in this

process I understood — this is

what I needed.”

What do you love most about

GLOBAL UCF?

LINA from Colombia

“ I love the fact that to say you

have international friends is pretty

cool. The network of friends from

around the world is unique.

We have become really close.

Maybe someday I’ll be able to call

an old friend from India to visit?”

FERNANDO from Mexico

“ We have support in every aspect

from the entire team. We get to

know the cultures from all of the

students in the program. It’s a fun

and nice environment for studying

and everyday life. I feel like I’m at

home. I feel like it’s a family —

not a program.”

XIMENA from Venezuela

“What I love most is the people —

we end up being like a family. We

take care of each other but also

push each other to stay on track.

Orlando is used to international

visitors and everyone is very

welcoming and respectful. The

UCF campus is gorgeous! It may

feel huge and overwhelming at

first, but then it becomes familiar

and just feels like home.”

Global UCF progression requirements: Overall 2.5 GPA, 80% attendance to classes, academic support sessions and signature student experiences required in the program.

KEY

Restricted Access: These majors have additional admission requirements. There is no limit to the number of students who can be enrolled. Students meeting the requirements normally will be admitted.

Limited Access: These majors guarantee admission to a limited number of students who meet the additional admission requirements.


1. The University of Central Florida’s Global UCF students must read these terms and conditions carefully prior to submitting an application. In addition to these terms and conditions, as students at the University of Central Florida (UCF), all Global UCF students are bound by the rules and regulations governing UCF, as those may be amended from time to time. The most re-cent UCF rules can be found at goldenrule.sdes.ucf.edu.

2. Global UCF reserves the right to amend these terms and con-ditions from time to time (the most recent terms and condi-tions can be found at globalUCF.com/terms-and-conditions). Similarly, UCF reserves the right to amend its terms and condi-tions from time to time. At all times, students will be required to comply with the then-current terms and conditions. UCF’s current terms and conditions may be found at policies.ucf.edu.

3. Application: Students may apply to Global UCF’s Global Achievement Academy (“GAA”), GAA Prep (a pre-sessional English program) or for direct admission to UCF. If you de-cide to apply to any of these three programs, be sure to use the application that is specific to the program you select. Each application contains terms and conditions governing the spe-cific program, and students acknowledge by submitting this application that they agree to the terms and conditions of the respective program.

4. Students who are conditionally accepted to Global UCF will re-ceive a conditional offer that outlines additional requirements for acceptance and deposit information. Students who are admitted to Global UCF will receive an offer letter along with invoice information with directions on completing payment.

5. Tuition, fees and accommodation payment: Following pay-ment of the deposit, students must pay the remaining out-standing balance by the following posted payment deadline for the semester in which they enroll:

Spring 2016: December 7, 2015;

Summer 2016: April 25, 2016;

Fall 2016: August 1, 2016.

Global UCF has the right to amend prices due to university actions, tax increases, governmental actions or other events beyond our control.

6. Transfer credits: Students with post-secondary college cred-its applying to Global UCF’s GAA are subject to additional requirements. Students joining the GAA must have completed less than 30 credits from an outside university and the cumu-lative post-secondary GPA must be 2.0 or higher. Coursework transferred from international, non-American institutions will need to be officially evaluated through one of the UCF-ap-proved NACES companies: World Education Services (wes.org) or Josef Silny & Associates ( jsilny.com). Students submitting international post-secondary school (university) credentials, order course-by-course evaluations. Transfer credits are artic-ulated after completion of the GAA and will apply to academic years two, three and four; under no circumstances will trans-fer credits apply to the GAA. The student acknowledges that UCF and the Global UCF make no representations and cannot guarantee that post-secondary college credits will be given.

7. Accommodations: All GAA students are required to commit to a three-term residence in a UCF residential hall and pay in full for this accommodation by the posted payment deadline (listed in section 5) for the semester in which they enroll. All Global UCF student housing commitments run three terms unless otherwise noted. Students who begin in a GAA Prep program must remain in a UCF residential hall for the dura-tion of the GAA Prep and GAA program before eligible to move off campus. The most up to date cancellation and refund policy for student accommodation can be found at housing.ucf.edu/costs/terms. Exceptions to the above stated accommodation policy must be submitted via a Global UCF Housing Waiver at the time of application for review and approval/denial of request.

8. Dining: All Global UCF students are required to commit to a three-term dining plan at UCF and pay in full for this dining plan by the posted payment deadline (listed in section 5) for the semester in which they enroll. Students needing to cancel their dining plan prior to move-in are eligible for a full refund. Cancellations made after the move in date must include docu-mentation of withdrawal from the university, and students will be charged the then-current cancellation fee in addition to a prorated amount that will be retained by Global UCF for the portion of the term already used. All cancellation fees are due at the time of request.

9. Health insurance: All international students studying at UCF are required to be covered by health insurance, which meets the U.S. government’s visa requirements, state of Florida re-quirements and UCF requirements.

a. At the time of their acceptance, students are required to purchase coverage from a Global UCF-designated health plan as a condition of enrollment.

b. Prior to orientation, all students must have completed the UCF Health Services Immunization Form docu-menting proof of immunity to measles (rubeola), Ger-man measles (rubella) and mumps, and either proof

of immunization against meningitis and hepatitis B, or a signed waiver declining these two vaccines. Mandatory immunization forms may be obtained through the UCF Health Services website at hs.ucf.edu/ immunizations.html. Students must have immunization documentation to live on campus and prior to class start date.

c. The cost of health insurance is nonrefundable.

10. Airport transfers: Requests for airport transfer should be made at least two weeks in advance by visiting GlobalUCF.com/welcome. Global UCF cannot guarantee a reservation for a request made less than two weeks in advance. However, staff will make every attempt to accommodate late requests. In the event that a flight is cancelled or delayed, students must call the emergency telephone number published in the Next Steps Brochure to inform Global UCF’s staff of the new arrival date and time. Please see Section 24 for the airport transfer cancellation policy.

11. Cancellation, change, curtailment or withdrawal: Students who cancel their Global UCF course prior to arrival on UCF’s campus due to a visa denial may request a full refund of de-posit, tuition and fees. Students will only be eligible for a re-fund if they submit documentation of visa denial with written notification to Global UCF prior to the course start date. After the start of the Global UCF program, students may be eligible for a partial refund of up to 25% of tuition costs prior to the end of the fourth week of classes. After attending all or part of the fifth week of classes in your first semester of the program, there will be no refunds for the remainder of the program du-ration absent exceptional circumstances. The no refund dates for each program start date are:

Spring 2016: February 8, 2016;

Summer 2016: June 13, 2016;

Fall 2016: September 19, 2016.

12. Exceptional circumstances: Refunds for exceptional circum-stances may be granted on a very limited case-by-case basis by the Global UCF Office of Academic Services. Up to 100% of tuition and registration fees are refundable if due to circum-stances determined by Global UCF to be exceptional.

13. Public holidays and school vacation: Classes are usually not held on public holidays, and most school facilities will be closed. Classes will not be held during designated school vaca-tions. Global UCF will not make reimbursements for classes not offered.

14. Absences: F-1 students must comply with all applicable United States Citizenship and Immigration Services regulations re-lated to study on a student visa at UCF, including attendance requirements. Failure to meet attendance requirements may lead to penalties, including loss of immigration status. Any student who is absent during the program or loses immigra-tion status due to absences will not be eligible for a refund for time missed.

15. Global UCF Academic criteria: Students are accepted into Global UCF with the strict understanding that progression through Global UCF and successful completion of any pro-gram will require satisfactory attendance and successful at-tainment of specified progression grades, which can be found at globalucf.com/apply-now/application-requirements. Stu-dents who do not meet the criteria for successful completion will not be allowed to proceed. Students may be offered advice on suitable alternative options, which may or may not include retaking courses or repeating certain courses. These alterna-tive options may involve additional time and costs, including tuition and accommodation fees.

16. Academic resources: All books and learning materials must be purchased by Global UCF students upon arrival at UCF.

17. Student conduct: All Global UCF students are required to follow UCF policies, rules, regulations and the UCF Golden Rule. Any student who commits a criminal offense, violates campus rules, has poor attendance or fails to meet program requirements may be expelled or suspended. No refund will be given in cases of expulsion. The UCF Code of Student Con-duct provides a framework of standard acceptable behavior for students and can be found at osc.sdes.ucf.edu. Students are responsible for understanding and complying with this Code. The Code of Student Conduct is available on the UCF website. All students studying at UCF have the right to be treated with respect and courtesy by UCF staff and fellow students in an environment free from harassment and conducive to learn-ing. UCF expects Global UCF students to abide by the Code of Conduct by accepting responsibility for your behavior and conducting yourself in a professional manner at all times, treating fellow students and staff with respect, honesty and courtesy.

18. Refunds: Global UCF will only make refunds in U.S. dollars, minus bank transfer and processing fees, and will make such refunds in the manner in which Global UCF was originally paid and to the account of the party or parties who made such payment(s). All refunds will be made to eligible parties within 45 days of written notice.

19. Grievance procedures, appeals or complaints: Students must follow the policy and procedures for filing complaints, griev-ances and appeals in a constructive and timely manner. UCF’s student grievance procedure can be found at http://sas.sdes.ucf.edu/docs/grievance_process.pdf.

Students who fail to meet attendance requirements, continue their enrollment or maintain satis-factory academic progress will be reported to the U.S. Depart-ment of Homeland Security (DHS). Information collected by UCF and Global UCF which personally identifies a student and information regarding a student’s course progress may be shared with DHS, state and accrediting agencies, designated authorities, the student’s parent(s) or guardian(s), UCF and Global UCF staff, sponsors, recruiters, and representatives. This information may include personal and contact details, course enrollment details and changes, and circumstances of any suspected breach by the student of any UCF or Global UCF policies and/or any DHS rules or regulations.

24. Cancellation: “Cancellation Period” refers to the period up to the start date of the first course you are attending. Cancella-tions must be made during the Cancellation Period in writing and, provided the student never attends, tuition, dining and accommodation refunds may apply (subject to sections 7, 8 and 11). In all cases, the courier fee (if utilized), enrollment fee and any other service charges (e.g., airport transfer fee, medi-cal insurance, campus fee, program supplement fee, etc.) are nonrefundable.

25. Liability: The liability of Global UCF, its operator and its group companies, their directors, officers, employees, affili-ates, agents and partners with respect to losses arising from negligence (except where such liability cannot be excluded as a matter of law), breach of contract or otherwise will be limited in all circumstances to the full amount paid to UCF, Global UCF or the relevant group company by the relevant student for the particular program. Such companies and per-sons will in no circumstances have any liability for indirect or consequential losses or damages. Any dispute, claim or other matter arising will be subject to the jurisdiction and laws of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. By signing these terms and conditions, the student consents to and accepts the jurisdiction of such court for the purpose of any such action or proceeding and agrees to waive any objection to venue being laid therein.
