Faculty & Student Notice

Classes scheduled on the UCF Campus on football game Saturdays (Aug. 30, Sept. 6, Oct 4, Nov. 2, and Nov 29) will be held if they begin before 12:00 noon. Classes that begin at 12:00 noon or after are cancelled on game days. Classroom buildings will be locked at that time. Faculty with keys may access the building after 12:00 noon, but staff and students may not access the building after 12:00 noon. If a class begins before 12:00 noon and continues after 12:00 noon, the class may continue until its normal completion time.

All faculty and student parking in the "Gold Zone"* and in Parking Garage B** is prohibited after 7:00 am on game day. Unauthorized cars will be towed away. Exceptions in the Gold Zone will be Golden Knight members who have special football game day passes. Exceptions in Parking Garage B will be those people who are authorized to park in Parking Garage B (see below).

Parking Garage B will be reserved on game day for people on "Official University Business" from 7:00 am until two hours after the completion of the football game. There will be attendants stationed at Parking Garage B, and only people with credentials will be allowed to park in Garage B. Credentials will include a faculty identification card, a test confirmation stub (LSAT, MCAT, etc), theater tickets for the day's performance, or student credentials distributed by the faculty member who teaches the Saturday day class.

Shuttles that normally run between Research Park and the UCF Campus will be in operation. However, the normal schedule will no doubt be hindered by the traffic load on the surface streets on game day. Also, drop-off areas will be restricted to those near the front of the campus.

In 2008, there are presently one game scheduled on Sunday, Nov. 2. Campus information is forthcoming.

Homecoming Game Day-Saturday (game assignment: TBD), will create special challenges for students and faculty who attend classes on the Orlando campus that day. The Homecoming Parade will be on campus rather than downtown, and the normal flow of traffic will be impeded by floats, bands, etc. Details are yet to be determined.

For any questions, please give Rick Schell a call at 3x4197.
