What am I required to do as a CAP student?

Before Orientation:

• Prepare yourself to take the College Placement Test (CPT) for the area your scores reflect you are below in. There is a $10.00 CPT administration fee per exam needed that must be paid at time of testing by check or money order only (no cash). Students who do not take the CPT will be placed in the lowest level preparatory course available.
• Contact Abby Riggenbach at ariggenb@mail.ucf.edu or (407) 823-5130, if you have updated test scores, dual enrollment, advanced placement, or CPT scores from another institution that could exempt you from being a CAP student.
• Review the UCF catalog on-line at http://www.ucf.edu/catalog/current/toc.html to get a better understanding of your area of study.
