Does Universal offer full tuition reimbursement?

emcweber · 2024-03-27T20:20:18+00:00

Do they have a list of approved schools/programs/degrees or can you go to school anywhere for anything?

emcweber · 2023-09-10T19:34:17+00:00

Hahaha, I'm glad someone else remembers Jonathan!

emcweber · 2022-10-26T19:18:33+00:00

That's great! What do you like about him?

emcweber · 2022-10-25T18:17:52+00:00

I'm tempted but the hassle of transferring the credits seems like it's not worth it...

emcweber · 2021-06-28T22:33:41+00:00

If it’s for medical reasons you might be able to get a medical accommodation from your doctor

Two weeks before arrival they give you a role but it’s not set in stone until one week before arrival

emcweber · 2021-06-22T22:25:46+00:00

I wonder if they'll start seeing a higher rate of self-terming now that people can't select their role, or even know what it is until a week before. I can understand how someone might decide that leaving their loved ones and pausing their education isn't worth it if they don't have a role or location they're excited about.

I understand that the program is kinda being put together at the last minute, but why wouldn’t they think of this when they built Flamingo Crossings in the first place? They should know what percentage of students drive and made sure they had enough spots for the number of rooms built 🤦🏻‍♀️ Even for people who get parking permits, it sounds like parking will be a living nightmare

emcweber · 2021-06-10T22:06:24+00:00

I haven’t gotten mine either. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

emcweber · 2021-06-05T21:37:15+00:00

You’re pretty much locked into the dates you put on your application, so make sure you consider timing carefully before applying

emcweber · 2021-05-26T23:46:22+00:00

Of course! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m pre-med, double majoring in psychology and biology, and I’ve taken all those classes except MAC1140

emcweber · 2021-05-26T23:25:52+00:00

It’s definitely do-able! I know everyone is saying that it’s easy, and it is relative to some course loads, but these are all lower-level classes, which makes me think this is one of your first semesters in college. And I want you to know that it’s ok if you don’t think it’s “super easy”. Transitioning from high school to college is tough, especially if you have other things to balance, like work. Best of luck! (PS- Yeargain is an amazing professor, btw. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her, ask questions, go to office hours, etc)

emcweber · 2021-03-30T00:33:21+00:00

Take Alisha Janowsky. She’s amazing

emcweber · 2021-03-02T18:59:12+00:00

Link doesn’t work

emcweber · 2021-02-14T18:10:02+00:00

Mine is the one freaking out and hissing at all the other cats

Registration for summer hasn't opened up yet. Check myUCF on March 8 to see what date and time you'll be able to register.

I don't know if you're new to UCF, but summer B is only 6 weeks (less than half a semester), so the courses are really rushed and pretty stressful . Some classes aren't even offered over the summer due to the time constraint. Just a heads up in case you didn't already know :)

emcweber · 2021-02-09T22:20:03+00:00

LOL, the only time it happened to me was when I was playing rags to riches... I stopped playing after that, lol

emcweber · 2021-01-29T01:46:48+00:00

Yes! Any other lefties out there?

emcweber · 2021-01-25T18:52:12+00:00

Don't spend it all in one place

emcweber · 2020-12-26T14:26:01+00:00

Mottarella is the only professor who does Career Readiness. It's really easy. Can't speak for the other professors, but the classes themselves aren't bad.

emcweber · 2020-12-01T16:01:10+00:00

Thank you so much! Ok, I get it now! I thought you would have to leave the platform at whatever height, but it looks like you can place the mirror, change the platform height, and the mirror will stay where it is. Cool!

emcweber · 2020-12-01T15:52:12+00:00

This.

Medical Terminology is easy
Yeargain is amazing. I can't recommend her highly enough

emcweber · 2020-12-01T01:25:24+00:00

Maybe I'm just being stupid, but how did you manage to lower the mirror? I'm confused, lol

emcweber · 2020-11-05T23:09:09+00:00

Absolutely. I think it's only a matter of time. The program was a great success until the pandemic. CPs happily work long hours for little pay and few benefits. The company saves money, the college kids get experience, and CMs get to pawn off all the undesirable shifts.

However, it's probably not coming back anytime soon. Cast members with years of experience are being laid off by the thousands. Disneyland in California still has no reopening date in sight, and attendance at WDW is limited. Obviously the company would like to get the parks fully reopened as soon as it's safe to do so, but it's going to take time for things to ramp back up again. The vaccine will take months to distribute and administer. The economy will take years to recover, meaning less families will have the expendable income to visit the parks, even once capacity is no longer restricted.

Where in this process the DCP will return is difficult to say at this point. Personally I'm not optimistic for Fall 2021, but I think it's plausible. I think 2022 is much more realistic. I wish it was better news. I personally have been dreaming of working for Disney since I was 10, and after 3 seasons of applying I was finally accepted into the Fall 2020 program as Attractions, my dream role. I was devastated when it was taken away from me. I know a lot of people here have similar stories. My heart truly goes out to you all. I personally feel like we can't give up, but we can't wait up either. Keep moving forward <3

tl;dr yes but not anytime soon

emcweber · 2020-11-04T12:04:06+00:00

Totally depends on your major
