UCF is a member of the State University System and fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In addition to regional accreditation agencies, a number of scientific, academic and professional bodies confer special accreditation to various UCF programs. UCF serves more than 46,000 students throughout Central Florida.

Direct Connect to UCF

Daytona State associate of arts degree students have a clear path to transfer to UCF through the university's nationally recognized Direct Connect program. Direct Connect guarantees admission to UCF for AA graduates and adds touch points that track students from their freshman year at DSC through their senior year at the university to ensure they stay on a path toward success.

In addition to increased academic advising, touch points include having students complete a career-assessment plan, confirm early major declaration, and complete skills workshops related to academic planning, financial literacy and other topics.

To get started on your path to UCF through Direct Connect, speak with your DSC academic advisor early in your freshman year.
