Study Union


Study Union is committed to promoting student’s well-being and academic excellence during what can be a very stressful time. Before and during final exam week, the Student Academic Resource Center partners with the Student Union and the Parent and Family Fund to host multiple final exam review sessions in-person and online spanning a variety of academic subjects. Each subject session is led by a Peer Tutor or Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader. The review schedule varies by semester and will be released on SARC’s website approximately two weeks before each finals period begins. Download the UCF mobile app for the complete Study Union schedule go to the Study Union Schedule page or click HERE for the PDF. Check the UCF mobile app for a Study Union tab to keep up with the latest schedule from your phone.

Need that final academic boost to help you make it through finals? Take advantage of the Peer Knights Academic Coaching & Engagement (ACE) program drop-in hours offered during Study Union. ACE Coaches work with students individually online or in-person to provide them with strategies for success on their final exams. This includes learning new study skills, methods to deal with test anxiety, and test prep strategies.
