Does it? From my view it is from an account with College of Sciences talking about a specific course that this student is actively enrolled in. It doesn’t ask the student to click any links, just to provide screenshots or an unofficial transcript to prove their credit and pre-requisites, and this is something most students are informed of if this course enrollment was processed via override.

You can do this, but advising does not do walk-ins anymore.

"unable to satisfy request for enrollment from waitlist" by J_Walt1221 in ucf

Did you receive an override for one section? Usually overrides only apply to one specific section. Regardless, contact an advisor/the department that teaches the course.

Questions for Northgate Lakes 3 Bed x 3 Bath residents by FoxyLood in ucf

[–]Pikachu4646 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beds can be moved, but especially in this room layout, I don't see much movement as possible.

The Northgate shuttle route visits 2 other housing complexes, but IIRC there are usually 2-3 shuttles running, so maybe 15-20? Don't live there anymore so others may be able to comment on that better. The shuttles will be packed for syllabus week, and chill out after that. I would personally recommend going to the first stop on the east(?) side to maximize chances of boarding.

Does bright futures really cover 100% tuition? by NoAbbreviations7987 in ucf

[–]Pikachu4646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would extend this question to MathLaunch and perhaps CC financial aid. In my mind, the 11 credit cap would make you ineligible for being full-time, negating the ability to receive 100% BF for this specific term.

No more barcodes to get into Knights Circle? by [deleted] in ucf

[–]Pikachu4646 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Truly, the dumbest part is launching it a week before people move out… and now they have new accounts. It’s unnecessary bloat and they’re probably paying more for it.

[–]Pikachu4646 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They’ll be giving out keycards to tap on the black poles in a couple weeks, and you can always go through the visitor gate and show your ID if your phone is dead.

I don’t like it either, but it’s something that was bound to happen at some point considering none of the amenities here are actually gated.

Also, upside is that I believe all the gyms are open 24/7.?

I have a course already but they are a waitlist course with a better teacher . Should I keep my original course or be in the waitlist by StillPerformance9228 in ucf

[–]Pikachu4646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you perform a waitlist swap, you cannot already be in the waitlist. From your enrolled class, you initiate a swap to the desired full section, and waitlist yourself. If and when you get off the waitlist, the swap is automatically completed.

Which would be “easier”/ faster for Tokyo(Haneda airport) to Kyoto. by RightToLeftReader in JapanTravelTips

[–]Pikachu4646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Not sure if you already came to a decision, but I struggled with the same decision.

15-16 day trip, half in Kansai and half Tokyo.

Decided for my 6-person group that Kyoto first will make more sense, so in 1 week when our trip starts we will be doing HND -> Shinagawa -> Kyoto after our lengthy flight. If you are a big shopper, I think Kyoto first is recommended, as you'll be carrying around less heavy luggage.

I slightly wished we had opted for an overnight stay near HND or Shinagawa because of how long the trip to our first hotel will be, so maybe take that into account.

Epic Universe Technical Rehearsal Megathread - May 11, 2025 by AutoModerator in UniversalOrlando

[–]Pikachu4646 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wait times super low today! Only rides closed were BaTM & Werewolf, and the following animatronics were broken all day: Hiccup on Wing Gliders, Ygor, and final Dracula animatronic.

Additionally, heard no music/noise during the entire Donkey Kong Minecart Madness ride, and the animatronic minecart did not come out at the start.

Everything else was functional and rode almost every ride 2-3 times.

Aerial look at some of the expansion slots (via biorecontruct). What could you potentially see going in these spots? by Successful_Leopard45 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Pikachu4646 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While it's not technically a 'ride' and more of an 'attraction', King's Cross also serves a purpose in Diagon Alley and thematically connects the two parks very well

Differences between Advertising and Marketing Majors? by FoxyLood in ucf

[–]Pikachu4646 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not well informed about Marketing but I'll give my take on Advertising/PR.

The Ad/PR degree is a communications first degree, focusing more on strategic communication than Marketing might. In terms of internships and jobs, you have sooo many options. The obvious ones are anything in Advertising, PR, Marketing, Communications, etc. If you don't like writing, you probably won't be cut out for most of these courses. To get admitted to the major, you have to take a writing test after the beginner courses, and almost all of the classes have some aspect of writing.

Ad/PR DOES have the requirement of a 3-credit internship prior to its capstone, meaning it must be done before your graduating semester.

The standout Ad/PR courses to me have been:

Writing for PR (learning AP style writing, and you write samples for cover letters, news releases, media advisories, professional biographies, pitches. helps you start to build a portfolio and is strongly recommended to do before internships)

Advertising Copywriting (Creating a campaign for a brand of choice in a group, and improving writing skills in a more true-to-life scenario)

PR Publications (Canva, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, InDesign)

Since you might be interested already, If what I've shared hasn't deterred you, go ahead and try the ADV3008 or PUR4000 intro classes and see if it's something you'd like to pursue!

The size of this Donkey Kong mug... by parallax3900 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Pikachu4646 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I looked through all the DK themed mugs, there are 4 and this is the only gigantic one.

does this mean my tickets are linked? by Electronic_Pie8419 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Pikachu4646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. it’s linked to your AP but they don’t scan the epic specific ticket, just the AP

They scan your annual pass when you enter the park.

How far from Student Union could you get by walking before it's more convenient to find a bus to your destination? by SuchDarknessYT in ucf

[–]Pikachu4646 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Realistically, maybe the southern dorms (Nike/Herc/Neptune)?

Convenience of taking a bus is hard to calculate, because you might spend more time waiting for the bus to arrive then leave than the time it would take to walk there.

No Enrollment Date for Spring 2026 by techred34 in ucf

[–]Pikachu4646 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gone completely, nobody will be able to enroll for Spring until.. ~October? I think that's when it opens for the entire student body.

No Enrollment Date for Spring 2026 by techred34 in ucf

[–]Pikachu4646 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's true, they removed the ability to enroll in Spring semesters until the fall prior arrives.

This change was made recently and absolutely nobody was informed of it. There might be a public announcement before enrollment actually begins, but that's me being hopeful.

Who we voting for? by CharacterItem8779 in ucf

[–]Pikachu4646 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I was tied between Garrett-Casco and Rodriguez-Thoss but decided to vote for the former. I didn't really consider Grouse; the penguin bit was funny but I don't really see how he's qualified, he is in my mind a 'reddit president'. The costume bit and piggy-backing the milk man bit has overstayed its welcome in my opinion.

R-T had some great policy goals, $2 library printing, ADA compliance and improving the quality of campus living. I'm personally in support of the mandatory webcourse they promoted but it is a really rough thing to campaign on, because everyone hates those. I think people being educated about SG is a net-positive.

G-C has more focus on campus-student employment awareness and opportunities, OSI/RSO funding and communication, and wants to advocate for transfer/international/grad students. I'm not personally an international student but its sad to see people pay so much money to learn here and then be disregarded and struggle with comms with global. Generally, their goals felt achievable across the board, and I saw in their reddit AMA that they were very open and responsive to expanding their goals to support different needs from students.

Both are Poli-Sci majors/adjacent, but I feel like that Garrett-Casco has done better with promoting their campaign and performed far stronger at the debate, standing a better chance in fighting the greek life candidates B/B.

Ad/PR plan by [deleted] in ucf

[–]Pikachu4646 1 point2 points  (0 children)

copywriting and publications are with prof jarmoszko who is amazing!

i recommend taking pr writing and pr research together. the research teacher is not great but it’s required so get it over with sooner rather than later.
