"Its a win-win-win situation," said Stewart
Lilie, dean of Undergraduate Studies.
University Registrar John Bush said at the
end of regular registration, UCF enrolled 16,739
students.
"At the end of continuous registration, we were
18,551," he said.

Single parents struggle as they juggle school books and baby bottles
by Amy Barlow
CENTRAL FLORIDA FUTURE
Single parents attending UCF said they often
struggle with guilt, day-care and money.
They said the guilt of spending so much time away
from their children is the hardest part of college.
Diana Parsons, 29, is in a master's program at
UCF. She takes her son Ben to UCFs Creative
School for Children most mornings at eight.
"Sometimes I don't pick Ben up until 10 or 11 at
night," Parsons said. "I feel so guilty leaving him for
so long. He's a great kid, so that makes it easier."
The Creative School for Children costs students
$68 a week from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., or students can pay
$2 an hour and pick their schedule.
"It makes it a lot easier to leave Ben when I know
he will be having a good time," Parsons said.
"I'm taking a heavy course load now so I can get
through quickly," Parsons added. "I want Ben to be
in a stable environment where I can support the two
of us."
CLASSIFIEDS page 8
Parsons said she doesn't work and receives financial support from her grandparents. She has also
taken out the maximum Stafford Loan.
"I'm finishing in debt, but it'll be worth it," she
said. "This was the only way I could make it through."
Mary Jo Matas, 40, a senior at UCF, said she
spends most of her time keeping up with her homework and the homework of her two children who are
10 and 13.
