However, students may submit Studio Art portfolios in subsequent semesters.<\/p><p>UCF strongly encourages students affected by these policies to meet with an Academic Success Coach at <a href=\"mailto:cahsa@ucf.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cahsa@ucf.edu<\/a>. Coaches can help students explore alternative academic pathways and identify opportunities that align with their interests and goals while maintaining a trajectory toward timely graduation. Students who are removed from the program will receive written notification, and those who believe extenuating circumstances impacted their performance may appeal to the SVAD administrative office within 10 business days of the notification. Appeals must include detailed documentation of circumstances, such as medical emergencies, to be considered.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<hr class=\"my-5\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"heading-underline\">Contact<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-size-lg\"><strong>Matt Dombrowski<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:mattd@ucf.edu\">mattd@ucf.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic\">Please note due to the high number of applicants individual portfolio reviews will not be given.
