UCF MATHLAUNCH PROGRAM

UCF is proud to offer select students the opportunity to participate in Math Launch, an admissions pathway designed to help incoming first-year students prepare for Calculus 1 and set them up for success in their chosen STEM major. With a focus on expanding students’ knowledge and capabilities in algebra, trigonometry and pre-calculus, Math Launch helps students become calculus ready in a single semester through an accelerated boot camp style, math course. Students selected to participate in the Math Launch pathway will begin their first term (fall or spring) as part-time students (9-11 credit hours) and will be provided with a dedicated support team to assist them throughout their first semester math course.

However, Math Launch limits our military-connected students into a course of 11.0 credit hours, which will impact their monthly stipend.  Through a collaboration with UCF, the Office of Military and Veteran Student Success is able to coordinate with the program to offer a one-time override that will allow the student to take one additional class and reach full-time student status for pay purposes.

If your student has questions about this, please encourage them to reach out to MVSC@UCF.EDU for additional guidance and information. As a parent, you can also support them by discussing their concerns and helping them prepare any necessary information before they contact the office. This can ensure they’re ready for a productive conversation with the UCF team.
