Community Living Guide

The Community Living Guide (CLG) provides a comprehensive overview of the rules, expectations, and behaviors that all residents are expected to follow. Students are responsible for reviewing and understanding this information.

UCF ID Card

Your UCF ID Card is used to access your community building and room. Be sure to have your card before your scheduled move-in appointment, as it is required for check-in and room access.

First Time in College (FTIC) or Transfer students will receive their UCF Cards during their scheduled Orientation date.

If you do not receive your UCF Card at Orientation, please visit Card Services during their operating hours to obtain your card before your move-in appointment.

Room Assignment

Your room and roommate information are available to you in the housing portal after room selection is complete.

Please note: Rooms and roommate information may change due to cancellations, or other circumstances. Check your housing portal to confirm your room assignment before you arrive to campus.

Postal Information

Your mailing address and PO Box number will be available in the myUCF portal once your room assignment is posted.

When sending mail to campus, always include:

• Your first and last name
• Your assigned PO Box number

Information regarding the location of your PO Box and instructions on obtaining your PO Box key will be provided at move-in.

If you need to send a package to campus prior to your arrival, do not send it more than a week prior to your move-in date.  Packages addressed correctly will be securely held for pickup. For more information regarding postal services, please click here.

Payment information

Please make sure that you view your payments online at the myUCF portal.

Note that if your account shows enough anticipated financial assistance to cover the cost of your housing, your payment is deferred until your financial aid is disbursed. However, if you show a balance, it must be paid by the due date. Due dates can be found on the UCF Academic Calendar.

Renters insurance

We strongly encourage students to consider obtaining renter’s insurance to protect their personal belongings in case of unforeseen circumstances or events. Renter’s insurance can typically be obtained through most homeowner’s insurance policies or various insurance companies.

Please note: UCF and the Department of Housing and Residence Life are not responsible for any damage or loss of a student’s belongings resulting from events such as damage, fire, sprinkler discharge, hurricanes, etc., as stated in the terms and conditions of the housing agreement (specifically, Section 11: Limit of Liability). Therefore, students are highly encouraged to secure their own personal and property loss insurance.

Upon arrival, please proceed to the designated unloading zone for your community, as indicated in the provided chart below. Before arriving on campus, please confirm your community and housing assignment.

1. Once directed to a parking space within your unloading zone, begin unloading your belongings.
   • There will be information tents in the unloading zones if you have any questions or need any assistance.
   • Please note:  Availability of assistance is contingent upon the volume of arriving vehicles. It is highly recommended that families bring their own dollies, wagons, or hand trucks. Students are encouraged to avoid overpacking and bringing multiple or oversized vehicles.
2. Students: Go to your community office to check-in with your UCF ID
   • Optional: Check-out moving equipment
3. Families and guests: Stay with the vehicle and begin unloading belongings

Late/Missing Equipment Charge Rates

• After unloading, please move your vehicle to the designated long-term parking lot or garage for your community.
• Vehicles left unattended in unloading zones may be ticketed or towed. Vehicles parked in non-designated lots or garages are also subject to ticketing or towing.
• Please review the maps in the chart below to locate your community’s designated long-term parking zone.

Parking Directions

Afternoon thunderstorms are common during move-in, so we recommend bringing umbrellas, ponchos, and tarps to help protect yourself and your belongings.

For everyone’s safety, UCF Housing and Residence Life works closely with the UCF Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during move-in.

If lightning is detected within seven miles of campus:

• All outdoor move-in operations will pause for 30 minutes
• Staff, including Information Tent staff, will seek shelter
• Students and families are also encouraged to move indoors and seek shelter
• Move-in operations will resume once the all-clear is given by the EOC (30 minutes after the last detected lightning strike).

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during weather-related interruptions. The safety of students, families, and guests is our top priority.

Resident Assistants (RAs) are UCF students who play a crucial role as resources and mentors within your community. They are selected and trained to be attentive to the academic, emotional, and social challenges that residents may face, especially during the adjustment to residence hall living. We strongly encourage you to connect with your RA and establish a relationship with them as they can provide valuable support during your transition to living on campus.

Your RA will proactively reach out to you throughout the semester to arrange meetings, either one-on-one or in small groups. It is highly encouraged for all residents to maintain regular communication with their RA. They are here to assist you and ensure that you have a positive living experience.

During the first few weeks of school, Resident Assistants in all communities will be hosting opening community meetings to share important information regarding upcoming programs, policies, and community specific information. Students will receive information about these meetings during move-in.

In order to connect to the internet in your room, you will need a computer or other streaming device equipped with at least a 10Mb Ethernet interface and a standard Ethernet cable to connect to the provided Ethernet wall jack.

You may view more information at the ResNet website. If you have questions regarding your internet set-up, or if you experience any problems with your ResNet registration or service, you may submit a work ticket on the UCFIT website, or you may contact the Service Desk at 407-823-5117, Monday through Friday 8 AM to 5 PM or by email.

For many college students, sharing their space is a new experience. Living on campus provides a wonderful opportunity to learn about oneself and others. Building positive relationships takes time and effort but can greatly enhance your college experience. Here are some key considerations:

• Introduce yourself before move-in (via phone or online)
• Establish boundaries and revisit them as needed
• Take the time to get to know your roommate
• Address problems or conflicts as they arise
• Maintain realistic expectations
• Practice patience with yourself and others

It is important to remember that the Housing and Residence Life staff is available 24/7 to assist with conflicts. However, resolving concerns effectively requires active involvement from all parties.

What is a Roommate Agreement?

Completing a roommate agreement in a timely manner is a highly important and effective strategy to ensure a harmonious and healthy living environment for all occupants. Early in the semester, you will have the opportunity to communicate with your RA and develop a roommate agreement. Your RA will guide a conversation addressing communication and potential areas of conflict in your suite or apartment. Topics covered may include cleanliness, noise levels, temperature control, as well as necessary accommodations for health, allergies, or medical needs.

Establishing common ground early on is crucial for maintaining open and healthy dialogue. In the event of a roommate conflict, the roommate agreement will serve as a tool to engage in respectful communication when seeking resolution. However, if an ongoing issue persists, our staff is here to provide mediation, support, and assistance in exploring alternative solutions.

Joining the UCF Community

After move-in, many students are eager to make new friends, so do not hesitate to introduce yourself and engage with others in your community. It is important to get to know those around you and create your new home away from home. Your RA will assist in introducing you to your community through fellow residents, so be sure to check your email and other communications for updates. Additionally, you can meet people at your online floor/building meetings and participate in activities and events that will be organized. By actively engaging with your UCF experience, finding your community and getting involved, you can make the most out of your time here. HRL is dedicated to the success and well-being of all our residential students.
