Other Student Classifications
Auditor
A student registered for any credit course who is not seeking credit.
Co-op Student
A student enrolled in the Center for Cooperative Education and Applied Learning Program remains a registered student during all off-campus assignment semesters. Furthermore, there is no lapse in continuity in the co-op academic calendar: a co-op student either is on assignment or attending class during each term.
Special Student
A student of demonstrated academic ability who does not meet the regular requirements for admission (Early Admission, non degree-seeking, transient, and auditor).
Temporary
A student who applied before the deadline and who is permitted to register and attend class pending completion of the admission file.
Transient
Students temporarily registered (for one term) at UCF with the approval of another university or college where they are regularly enrolled, or a UCF student temporarily in attendance at another university or college, with the approval of UCF. A UCF student may not be enrolled as a Transient student in another institution during the term in which the baccalaureate degree or the A.A. degree is to be awarded.
Limited Non-Degree Seeking
A student earning credit, but not working on a degree program.
Provisional
A student entering from a regionally unaccredited high school, college, or university may be admitted on provisional status where appropriate. By obtaining a minimum 2.0 GPA (“C” average) at the end of the first term of attendance, the provisional status will be removed. Earning less than a “C” (2.0) average the first term would result in disqualification.
