Welcome to UCF Regional Campuses
Welcome to UCF’s Regional Campuses. We partner closely with six community colleges in an 11-county area to bring bachelor’s degree completion programs and selected graduate programs to communities throughout Central Florida. By bringing high-quality UCF programs and services to the communities we serve, students who cannot or do not wish to come to Orlando can earn their degree from UCF in a convenient, affordable way.

Whether you are a recent or soon-to-be high school graduate, a community college student, or a working professional looking to expand your opportunities, we offer the kind of flexibility you need to further your education. If you are a current high school or community college student, you’ll be especially interested in our DirectConnect to UCF program.

This site can take you to the programs we have in locations throughout Central Florida. In any case, we have a great team of professionals eager to help you reach your goals. Let us know how we can help.

Thank you for your interest in the University of Central Florida’s Regional Campuses.

About Us

UCF extends seamless access to high-quality, affordable and convenient educational opportunities throughout Central Florida with its Regional Campuses. UCF Regional Campuses consists of 11 sites across 11 counties. The Regional Campus System traces its origins to the era in which coastal Florida became the center of America’s aerospace program. Between 1982 and 1987, the university developed the state’s first full-service, joint-use campuses in Cocoa and Daytona Beach in partnership with Brevard Community College and Daytona Beach Community College.

In 1999, a third joint-use facility was constructed by UCF and Brevard Community College in Palm Bay and an additional full-service campus was developed by UCF and Lake-Sumter Community College in Clermont in 2002. The university also currently delivers programs at a multi-institutional University Center developed by Central Florida Community College in Ocala. Two additional joint-use facilities are in the development stages with Seminole Community College and Valencia Community College.

Vision

UCF’s Regional Campuses will be recognized as the model for university and community college partnerships to increase access to baccalaureate and graduate degrees for Florida citizens, acknowledged for its leadership in providing local access and unsurpassed value for students in communities throughout Central Florida and known for its prominence in preparing students for success in the 21st Century economy.

Mission

The Regional Campus System is a partnership-driven organization strategically located to extend UCF’s reach to the communities of Central Florida. We provide access to quality higher education for students who, because of time, distance, preference, or life circumstance, might not otherwise have the opportunity to pursue a baccalaureate or graduate degree.

Partnerships

UCF Regional Campuses partners with several Florida community colleges in support of Florida’s 2+2 program. With 2+2, you can complete your A.A. and select A.S. degrees through one of the partner community colleges, and then continue at a UCF Regional Campus for the completion of a bachelor’s degree. Whether you are a first-year student or a student ready to enter your junior year, the partnership between community colleges and UCF makes accredited public education accessible, so you are no longer limited by location. Enjoy access to excellent faculty, professional advisors and staff, and an increasing array of courses and program. To learn more about our community college partners, click on the links below.
