Call Here for Answers
The important contact info you need to have. Over the years there have been only a few times that I, as a parent, have felt the need to call the campus to resolve an issue. Generally, I try to get my kids to handle it themselves. However, knowing where to call for whatever the issue can be daunting. For instance, when said student accrued a certain amount of parking tickets and was having a difficult time paying them online, she called the UCF Parking office to figure it out. I often wished there was a blog like this one to take the guesswork out of Who Ya Gonna Call….or which website has the answers.
Another example: When a friend had reason to believe her son may have been being hazed by his fraternity during rush, she got in touch with The Office for Greek Life. Fortunately, that managed to settle things, but her next step was to call the President’s office. Did you know the President of the University of Central Florida at present is an interim President, Thad Syemour, Jr., but should you need to contact that office for one reason or another, you may do so here.
