About the Graduate Catalog

The Graduate Catalog is published by the Division of Graduate Studies and is the authoritative source for information regarding UCF graduate degree and certificate programs, admission requirements, and graduate polices and procedures for the academic year of publication. Beginning with the 2002-2003 Graduate Catalog, the catalog is published solely online and the online version is the official source of graduate information.

Graduate Catalog Revision

In collaboration with the colleges and schools, the Division of Graduate Studies revises the catalog each year and in May or June publishes the new catalog for the coming academic year (e.g., the 2006-2007 graduate catalog applies to Summer 2006, Fall 2006, and Spring 2007). The Admission, Policies, Academic Programs, and Courses sections are considered the UCF graduate curriculum record and are archived as published for each academic year. These sections serve as key resources throughout a student's graduate study.

As new degree and certificate programs are approved, they may be added to the current graduate catalog. Each addition will include a statement at the beginning of the program information describing the effective date of the new program. Other sections of the catalog may be updated throughout the year to add or refresh information, including the UCF Opportunity, About UCF, Admissions and Registration, and Financial Information. Check the What's New section for important additions to the catalog during the academic year.

Archiving of the Graduate Catalog

The Division of Graduate Studies (www.graduate.ucf.edu and www.graduate.ucf.edu/catalog) and UCF Home (www.ucf.edu/catalog) provide public access to archived copies of the online graduate catalog.
