Students are encouraged to download and use the myKnight STAR app, but there is a desktop browser version they can access with all the same features.
How do students use Study Buddies?
Students opt in for one or multiple courses through the Study Buddies feature in the myKnight STAR app. Students view other students for their class(es) who have opted in and contact them through their UCF email. Students can opt-out and leave a group at any time. This short, 90-second video demonstrates the Study Buddies student experience.
What functionality can students currently access in the myKnight STAR app?
