The woman told UCF police that a man was lingering around the vending machines inside and then started talking to her as she was walking by and then proceeded to touch her inappropriately.
The woman then said she ran away and reported the incident to police an hour later.
Police say the dark-skinned man is described as a 5 foot, 7 inches tall, thinly built and was wearing a gray hoodie and jeans.
Students say they are shaken by the incident.
"Honestly it's kind of scary because a lot of the time when we hear about things like this it makes it seem the campus is not as safe as we would like it to be," said Rebecca Vollmann.
Anyone with information is asked to call UCF police 407-823-5555 or 911.
