A UCF Online student is a strictly online student who pays reduced fees. UCF Online students do not attend courses on campus. Because UCF Online students do not pay the full fees, only select campus-based services are available.
Course codes can be broken down to 4 basic components- Course Designator: a combination of 3 letters that makes reference to the sponsoring college or department Course Number: a combination of 3 numbers, the first of which indicates the credit level (or series) of the course, ranging from 100-level to 400-level.
There are several types of courses offered at UCF, referred to as course “instructional modes” or “course modality.” The course description includes a modality field which will identify the type of course. In addition, “course attributes” indicate whether or not students will be expected to participate in regularly scheduled online meetings.
Colleges use course codes to describe and organize their courses in a way that can be easily understood by both colleges and students (if said students have translation guides, that is). They consist of four important blocks of information.
A Course Code is a 5-digit alphanumeric code that is generated and assigned to the courses created by your institutions.
At Student's ConvenienceASC: At Student's Convenience. TBA: To Be Announced. This is often used for courses that are video streamed. Video streamed classes are video recorded, and students have the option to go to class, watch the class online, or both.
Course modality refers to how a course is offered by the instructor. For many years there was only one option available: On-campus instruction. As the field and practice of distance education and online learning has matured, the number of course modalities has increased as well.
The course codes are basically a State Department of Education's, a District's and/or school's “shorthand” for course titles. However course codes are determined, they need to reflect a logical system of coding.

TBA means "To Be Announced." When a course is listed as TBA it means that a room or a time has not yet been established for that course. Contact the specific department offering the course.
Mixed-Mode Engage in a combination of in-person classes and online learning. Meet on campus on specific days and times. Experience face-to-face time in small class settings with faculty and students.
Learning modalities are the sensory channels or pathways through which individuals give, receive, and store information. Perception, memory, and sensation comprise the concept of modality. The modalities or senses include visual, auditory, tactile/kinesthetic, smell, and taste.
Online courses are traditionally defined as those in which 100% of the delivery takes place in the online environment through asynchronous activities, synchronous meetings, or a combination of both asynchronous and synchronous methods.
The choices include modular (printed or digitized), online learning, radio and television-based instruction, or a combination of these (blended learning). During enrollment last year, DepEd conducted a survey among parents, which revealed that 87% chose the printed modular learning modality for their children.
A campus-based student is a student who has complete access to UCF campus-based services (including regional campuses) and pays full tuition and fees. Campus-based students may enroll in all modalities.
Students may encounter online, video, or adaptive elements as part of the instruction, thus requiring a computer .
The regulation states that students may only receive federal financial aid for ONE repetition of a previously passed course. These regulations prohibit the University from paying for a course that has been passed more than one time.
There is no limit on the number of attempts allowed for the student to repeat a course, as long as he/she does not receive a passing grade in any of the previously repeated courses.
The repeated course (s), including the original attempt, must be counted toward the maximum time frame and hours completion ratio requirements, which can impact your financial aid eligibility. Get detailed information regarding the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.
Repeated courses can impact a student’s renewal eligibility for programs with specific grade and hour requirements such as institutional and state grants and scholarships. To review the minimum hours required for each financial aid program, please refer to the Program Eligibility Chart.
