When you’ve got questions about enrollment, internships or items related to your academics, visit the Nicholson Academic Student Services Center (NASSC). They’ve got answers.
Academic advisors provide comprehensive academic counseling covering topics such as limited access program admission, degree audit interpretation, course override, or substitution assistance, and registration.
Undergraduate Advising
NSCM majors should now be assigned to an Academic Success Coach (ASC). You may click the link of your assigned ASC to schedule an appointment. Please confirm your assigned ASC in the MyUCF Student Center, as you will only be able to schedule a meeting with your assigned ASC. If you are interested in changing your major to a Nicholson major and are not yet assigned a Nicholson ASC, you will need to email us below to connect with one of our ASCs.
The Nicholson School of Communication and Media (NSCM) Undergraduate Advising Services is located on two campuses. On the main campus, NSCM Coaches work with students majoring in Advertising and Public Relations, Journalism, Media Production and Management, Film, and Film BFA. On the UCF Downtown campus, NSCM Coaches work with students majoring in Communication, Communication and Conflict, and Digital Media. NSCM Coaching provides professional advising services that cover a range of topics related to undergraduate students with a major, minor, or certificate housed within the School.
NSCM main campus Coaches are located in the Nicholson Academic Student Services office in the Nicholson School of Communication Building on the first floor in room 130. NSCM UCF Downton Coaches are located in UnionWest on the second floor.
The NSCM ASC team provides high-quality, holistic developmental academic advising and coaching through professional advisors. We are here to help students navigate university, college, and school policies, as well as provide support for all undergraduate programs offered by the School. Specialized advising services for high-impact practices, career exploration, and study abroad are also handled in our office.
