What does being in a "restricted access" college at UCF mean?

Being in a "restricted access" college at UCF means that students must meet certain criteria to be accepted. This typically involves specific academic requirements such as minimum GPAs or standardized test scores, as well as completed coursework before being granted admission into the college or program. Restricted access helps ensure that students are adequately prepared for the rigors of the specific major or discipline, aligning student capabilities with the program's demands.

Options indicating automatic acceptance, absence of prerequisites for courses, or openness of all majors do not accurately describe the selective nature of a restricted access college, which is designed to maintain quality and standards in academic performance among admitted students.
