T-L.E.A.R.N. is for students transferring to UCF from a state, or community, college. T-L.E.A.R.N. students should have an A.A. degree. The T-L.E.A.R.N. program is best suited for students who have spent the majority of their undergraduate career at a state college prior to transferring to UCF. This program is not intended for high school students entering UCF with an A.A. degree. F-L.E.A.R.N. is the appropriate program for students entering UCF from high school.

T-L.E.A.R.N. is a learning community established at UCF in 2016 that focuses on students’ academic success.

Students in this program will:

1. Experience a small learning community at a large research university. Coming to the second largest university in the nation can be a bit daunting to a transfer student. We provide opportunities for our T-L.E.A.R.N. students to build one-on-one relationships with faculty, staff, and other students on campus.
2. Receive priority course registration and a scholarship.
3. Enroll in a Fall and Spring 0 credit seminar which will guide you to identify and secure research experiences, as well as key undergraduate research skills.
4. Engage in research with a faculty mentor.
5. Participate in academic, social, and service activities through UCF-sponsored events to build and strengthen their network of peers.
6. Acquire skills that will make them qualified and competitive to apply to upper-level undergraduate research programs.

All majors are invited to apply!

Applications will open in the spring for Fall 2027 program admission.

This program is run by the Office of Undergraduate Research
