General New Study Room Booking Process!

142 Upvotes

The UCF Libraries are implementing a new study room booking process for the John C. Hitt Library to better meet student needs. After gathering feedback and analyzing usage patterns, we have made adjustments to ensure fair access to study spaces while addressing concerns about availability.

The updated policies include:

Reservations up to 4 hours per day – Students can now book study rooms for longer, uninterrupted study sessions.

Monthly limit of 16 hours per patron – This ensures more students have access to study spaces throughout the month.

Check-in requirement within 15 minutes – If you do not check in within 15 minutes of your reservation time, your booking may be canceled, allowing other students to use the space.

Booking available up to 3 days in advance – Plan ahead while keeping rooms accessible for last-minute study needs.

No automated reservations – The use of scripts or automated software to book rooms is prohibited to keep the process fair for all students.

These changes reflect our commitment to improving study space availability while keeping the system flexible and student-friendly. Our goal is to provide equitable access to study rooms so everyone has a fair chance to reserve the space they need.

For more details or assistance with reservations and the full policy, visit the Study Room page or ask a librarian at our Access Services desk. Thank you for your patience—we’re always working to make your library experience better!

COMPLAINT/RANT You guys should quit trying to debate the evangelicals

• Upvotes

Like I completely understand that they're total nuisances, but I feel like people are losing chess to a dog here trying to go up to them to unironically argue with them. Those guys aren't going to change or grow their perspective, (they wouldn't be waving signs telling people they're going to hell if they were), and if anything it enables them to keep harassing random students because they know they'll actually have people that'll listen to them. Your attention is exactly what they want out of you! 😭

The health center on campus has this study going on right now. If you are a freshman at UCF and 18-20 years old you probably qualify. And you get PAID... SAME DAY. Money directly in your pocket. And if you keep participating, they said like every month there is more payments. like... $100 each time or something like that!

I didn't qualify because i'm not a freshman, but a friend did and he got his money same day he went to the health center. They said they need more participants and to tell everyone we know - so i'm sharing with you all!! (don't mind my squiggles, i realized you could see some personal info on the papers under the flyer. oopssss)

One of the craziest games I've ever seen in 50+ years of watching college football.
Signature win, and an instant classic.

General Syllabus attendance guidelines change?

1 Upvotes

So from the very start of the semester this professor has had in their syllabus that attendance is not compulsory. Today a message was sent saying they were going to be taking attendance in class. Can they really grade attendance even though the syllabus itself has always and still says not required?

Academic ✏️ Study Abroad

0 Upvotes

I'm a freshman looking to study abroad for a semester (preferably fall, but I'm open to spring) next year at the University of Otago. I've already completed my general education requirements (I dual enrolled in high school) so I'm getting into more major-specific courses. I'm a little worried that because their semesters are opposite I won't be able to find classes that will transfer or be offered during the semester I want to go. I'm ok if I need to stick to restricted electives but I want the classes I take while there to contribute to my degree. For anyone who's gone, how easy/hard is it to find classes that work for your degree? Also I'd love to hear any general advice/experiences you had!

did anyone else see the rwc employee limping around the gym last night (Oct. 25)? he was one of the people that just walk around, but i noticed he was limping. once i got a closer look i realized that both of his legs were completely scraped up, like bad road rash or something… i didnt say anything bc someone who looked like a manager ended up coming up to him after a while and then got on the phone at the front desk. he also seemed to be a little bit out of it?

jw if the guys okay and like why was he at work…

General Orthodox christain group outside student union

I wouldn't care if it was just a stall, but I was walking to the student union and saw them trying to yell at and call people over. Aka, they're trying to harrass and pressure people into going over, so be aware if that. They're at the king smoothie place so taking the back could be a good idea if you don't wanna deal with their bullshit.

Edit: you know, it's funny how people are always like "first amendment right!" And "walk apst if you don't like it!" Yet...IM using my first amendment right by making this post?? And I AM walking past, I'm just also giving people a heads up who don't wanna have to deal with it, lol.

Survey 📋 Where could I find blueprints of UCF?

4 Upvotes

I want to make a miniature-scale replica of UCF in real life, but this would require accurate measurements of the building's dimensions. I could go out there with a tape measure and a few meter sticks, but I would like to avoid that as much as possible. If theres a way to access the blueprints of the buildings, then they would have the measurements needed.

Prospective Student 🤔 UCF Aerospace Engineering vs. Business (advice on salaries, difficulty, and career prospects)?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm planning to start college in Fall 2027, and UCF is one of my top choices.

I've already submitted my application with Aerospace Engineering as my intended major. I've always been strong in math, and I'm currently doing well in AP Calculus and physics. However, I've been thinking more about how demanding an engineering degree might be and whether it's the right long-term fit for me.

I'm genuinely interested in an engineering career, especially aerospace, but I've also always been interested in business, specifically finance. Finance appeals to me because of its versatility and the variety of career paths it offers.

Each major appeals to my different strength. Engineering seems to appeal more to my academic and creative strengths, while business seems to lean more towards my strengths in speech and collaboration.

Career wise, if I do aerospace, the goal would be getting a job at Lockheed, NASA, or something similar to have a decent salary and gain experience. If I do business/finance, I would preferably work as a financial analyst or financial manager, but I would consider investment banking for a few years if I got a good opportunity.

Ultimately, I'm trying to weigh the difficulty and workload of each major against the career opportunities and earning potential after graduation. I'm willing to put in the work for engineering if the career benefits make sense, but I don't want to choose a major based on salary alone and end up regretting it.

I'd especially appreciate hearing from UCF students and alumni:

  • Salary: What was your starting salary after graduation, and how has your income changed since then? What did you major in, and what kind of job do you have?
  • Difficulty: How demanding was your major? Roughly how many hours per week did you spend on classes, homework, and studying?
  • Career prospects: How difficult was it to find internships and your first full-time job? How much did internships and networking matter?
  • Advice: If you were in my position, what factors would you consider when choosing between aerospace engineering and finance?

I'd particularly appreciate hearing from people who have studied either major, but if someone who studied something else has a suggestion I would also greatly appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance! I appreciate any insight you can offer.

(P.S. If this is not the correct sub for this please let me known, I'm new to reddit)

General For the love of god, clean up your desk or workspace after you use it. I don’t want to find a pile of your garbage at a desk when I’m trying to find somewhere to study in the library.
