Nicholson School of Communication
We accept applications three times a year: Feb. 1 for Summer semester admission, July 1 for Fall semester admission, and October 1 for Spring semester admission. The application is available online in the Undergraduate section, in the Ad/PR major area of the School's Web site: http://communication.cos.ucf.edu/undergraduate/adpr_admission.php
You need to apply every semester as your application does not remain in our file after each deadline. You are notified of your status (accepted or denied) by letter to the address you put on the application about two weeks after the deadline. (It is best to use your local address and not your parent's address on the application.)
You should apply every semester no matter what your GPA is because predicting the GPA cut-off is impossible. You can apply as many times as you want, but if you have 80 hours completed and have not been accepted, we recommend you choose another major. (See Introductory Classes and Internships, below.) A faculty member is happy to meet with you to discuss options that will lead to a job in the field.
