There will be a Research Award Training session from
10 - 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 28, at TRL 541 which is located Outside the College of Arts and Humanities Building. Please, note that this is the last Research Award Training session this year. This is the training that all COS research-active faculty had to complete last year. However, there are still a few who did not complete the training, and can now use this session which is meant for CAH’s faculty as a make-up. This is important. Not having this training completed may affect your eligibility to submit research proposals and/or conduct research at UCF. For more information, or if you have questions, please contact Maggie LeClaire.

In the beginning of the fall semester UCF IT launched a new self-service process for accessing and upgrading a Qualtrics account for faculty, staff and students. So far over 150 accounts have been upgraded and that number will rise as the UCF community continues to take advantage of these resources. In the interim, UCF IT asks that faculty include the website linked below in their syllabi for the spring semester in order to help students through the upgrade process.
