  • Make sure to put EVERYTHING in the locker, EXCEPT THE “things to bring” list above.
  • THINK AHEAD The locker will lock ONCE per .50 cents, so if you forget to put something in your locker you will need another .50 cents to re-lock it a second time.
  • If you are running into any locker trouble contact a Proctor or Assistant from the MALL to help.
  • For refunds or other technical issues with a locker please contact UCF Card Services located in the John T. Washington Center, Suite 104

Make-up Policy

Please check your syllabus.

It is the practice of the University of Central Florida to reasonably accommodate the religious observances, practices, and beliefs of individuals in regard to admissions, class attendance, and the scheduling of examinations and work assignments. A student who desires to observe a religious holy day of his or her religious faith must notify all of his/her instructor in writing at the beginning of the term (prior to the end of the add/drop period) to be excused from classes to observe the religious holy day.  (Please note that documentation may be requested.)
