Pegasus Palooza is UCF’s official welcome week and begins Friday, August 15 through the 23. Whether you’re a new Knight or a returning student, Pegasus Palooza makes the first week of fall semester an event you’ll remember.

Social, academic and service activities are planned for each day to help new and returning students get acquainted with campus and meet fellow Knights. Not to mention all the free stuff you get at the events.
