You’ve Been Offered Admission! What Now? – Checklist
International Transfer Journey
All newly admitted undergraduate transfer students are required to attend Transfer Orientation before enrolling in classes. Students should reserve an orientation date as soon as they are eligible.
To reserve your orientation date or learn more about Transfer Orientation, visit orientation.ucf.edu/transfer.
All international students with F and J status are required to have medical insurance prior to registration. Review Health Insurance Requirements for International Students at https://studenthealth.ucf.edu/payments/intl/
Verify your transfer credits in myUCF. Your myKnight Audit will show which transfer courses meet your degree requirements and which courses remain outstanding. The status of your transfer credits can be found on your Transfer Credit Evaluation.
Some of your transfer courses may have already been evaluated and require no action, while others may require additional information or further evaluation. Log in to your myUCF account and select Student Center/Student Self Service → Academic Records → Other Academic Records → Transfer Credit Evaluation. Your Transfer Credit Evaluation will show the UCF course equivalencies assigned to your transfer courses.
If a transfer course does not have a UCF equivalency, a course syllabus may be required for further evaluation. You can upload the syllabus through your Transfer Credit Evaluation or submit it using the ServiceNow Transfer Credit Evaluation form. For more information or to submit a request, visit the Transfer Credit Evaluation Request Portal.
Final Transcripts
If you had courses in progress when you applied to UCF, you must submit a final official transcript after completing those courses so the appropriate grades can be recorded. If you were awarded a degree after submitting your application, you must also submit an updated official transcript reflecting the degree awarded.
Official transcripts may be sent electronically or mailed in the original, sealed envelope to:
- Office of Undergraduate Admission
University of Central Florida

You are required to attend the orientation session on the date you selected during the reservation process. Please make sure you are available and arrive promptly, as failure to attend may result in the cancellation of your reservation.
Check for any Holds or To-Dos on your account in myUCF. Orientation, Immunization, and all UCF Global holds must be resolved prior to registration.
- Students with an Orlando (Main or UCF Downtown) or Rosen major will meet with an Academic Success Coach (ASC) during Orientation.
- In most cases, students can schedule an appointment with their assigned ASC after completing Orientation. To make the most of your meeting, come prepared with a printed copy of your myKnight Audit (academic degree audit). For instructions on how to access, print, and read your myKnight Audit, visit registrar.ucf.edu/myknight-audit.
- Registration is completed at your assigned Enrollment Appointment time and can only be completed after your orientation and immunization holds have been resolved.
- Use mySchedule Builder to create and compare possible class schedules based on your course selections. The tool lets you explore different schedule combinations and choose the one that works best for you before registering for your classes.
- To access mySchedule Builder, log in to your myUCF account and select Student Center/Student Self Service from the menu. Then select Manage Classes and Planner Tools. For more information, visit mySchedule Builder.
After registering for classes, students should obtain their Fee Invoice through myUCF once it becomes available.
