No. In order for students to declare one of our majors, an appointment with an academic success coach is required in addition to a major declaration form. Students wishing to update one of the Areas of Study or Minor must meet with an academic success coach. Due to the unique nature of the program, there is no way for students to identify which IDS Areas and Minor they would like to pursue via their myUCF account.

Grade Forgiveness offers a student the opportunity to retake a course and earn a second grade that will be substituted for the previous grade. Students must be enrolled in the second attempt prior to applying for Grade Forgiveness and requests must be submitted no later than the last official day of class of the term the course is being repeated. The academic calendar will indicate what the last official day of class is for any given semester. Please note that Grade Forgiveness is a lengthy process and is not official until the end of the term.
Grade Forgiveness can only be requested for a course in which the original grade was a “C-” or lower. Should a student need to repeat a course due to a degree program requirement that necessitates a grade of “C” or higher, the student can request a Grade Forgiveness exception form from the Registrar’s Office.

To get started, you can visit UCF’s Experiential Learning office or go to their website and create a Handshake Account. If you coordinate an internship through this office, they will register you to receive credit hours for your work. An IDS academic success coach will have to approve it. Internships will not count for credit in your IDS Areas of Study, Minors, Certificates, Cognate, or Environmental Studies Concentrations. This is due to the fact that they are not graded and only courses with a “C” or better are eligible to count for Interdisciplinary Studies program requirements
Internships are academic courses that allow students to apply classroom theory in a practical work setting to gain personal, academic, and professional experience. They are always related to your major, they usually count for credit and they can be paid or unpaid. You should get an internship because the experience that you gain will give you an advantage when applying for jobs. 50% of interns as opposed to only 30% of students without major related internships get jobs related to their major after graduation. Students usually look for internships one semester toward the end of their academic program; however, freshman and sophomore students can also benefit from an internship.
Some of your transfer courses may appear as UCF 1000, 2000, etc. in the “Course” column of your degree audit. This is normal, and occurs because UCF have not yet evaluated those courses to equate to specific UCF GEP, Gordon Rule, or other courses in the myKnight Audit. If you believe a course does match a course taught at UCF and it may count for UCF’s General Education requirements, Gordon Rule, or foreign language, complete an evaluation request through Academic Services: https://www.academicservices.ucf.edu/transfer-credit/
