Additional Benefits to Consider

Beyond the core benefits, UCF alumni may also find value in exploring additional insurance options and services that cater to various life stages.

Long-Term Care Insurance

If you’ve witnessed friends or family helping loved ones who require round-the-clock care, you know first-hand how financially and emotionally difficult it can be. While you’re healthy, you may want to consider Long Term Care insurance.

Pet Insurance

Our dogs and cats are family too. When Spot needs an emergency vet visit, of course you’ll want to take him right away. Yet, vet bills can be expensive and can quickly pile up, so pet insurance is designed to help you manage these unexpected costs.

Travel Insurance

After planning a vacation for several months and spending a significant sum on transportation and hotels, you find that on the day that you are set to leave, you’re suddenly stricken with a high fever and diagnosed with pneumonia. Sure, you have to cancel, but can you get your money back? Travel insurance can help protect your investment in such situations.

Identity Theft Protection

Did you know that your medical insurance and health records could be compromised during a cyberattack? While identity theft is unfortunately becoming more common every day, medical identity theft could not only hurt your wallet, it could be detrimental to your health.

Small Business Benefits

If you’re a small business owner and you’re struggling to provide employee benefits, then believe it or not, but UCF’s Alumni Benefits Program can help.

Transcripts

Official transcripts can be ordered online, in person, or via paper form.
