New Faculty Orientation

Welcome New Colleagues!

New faculty members at UCF participate in two required orientations, each having very different purposes:

Human Resources New Faculty Benefits and Payroll Orientation at which you will complete the paperwork necessary for those two very important areas. Half-day sessions are scheduled during one week in August (see below for details). New faculty who desire to be covered by health insurance beginning in September must submit enrollment forms in August.

The New Faculty Academic Orientation will help you learn about various policies and procedures (including Tenure and Promotion) that impact your various roles as members of the UCF Faculty. The Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning is your host for the Academic Orientation. The two-day event takes place in the Student Union and Classroom 1 buildings on the Orlando Campus. Each day of the orientation is filled with important activities that will provide valuable information to enable you to have a successful start to your career at UCF. At the Academic Orientation you will meet the President, Provost, Deans, Chairs, other new faculty, and Directors of support departments. These days also include complimentary breakfast and luncheon events.
