Application Forms and Academic Credentials
All application forms and academic credentials should be on file well in advance of registration. A student with an incomplete admissions file may be granted provisional admission for the initial term of enrollment. Registration beyond the first term is dependent upon receipt of all required documents. Pensacola State College transcripts or other certifying information will not be released for or to those students with incomplete admissions files.
- Application A new student must submit the completed application form. A former student who has not attended for 12 months or more must reapply to update his or her permanent record. The $30 application fee will not be assessed to a returning student.
- Application Fee A new student will be assessed a $30 non-refundable application fee. A returning student will not be assessed the application fee. Each baccalaureate student will be assessed a $30 baccalaureate application fee regardless of prior enrollment at Pensacola State College.
- Residence Statement An applicant claiming Florida residence for tuition purposes must file a written statement that he or she is entitled to classification as a Florida resident for tuition purposes. An applicant who does not meet the criteria for residence established by Florida law and an applicant who is a legal resident of another state must also complete the Residence Statement. See Residency Classification.
- Educational Records (Transcripts) A freshman student must have official transcripts showing high school graduation sent to the Registrar’s Office. A freshman student who has earned the GED diploma must have an official GED score report sent to the Registrar’s Office. The parent or legal guardian of a freshman student who has completed a home education program must submit an affidavit verifying completion of a home education program meeting State of Florida requirements for the standard diploma.
Transfer students must have official transcripts as indicated above as well as official transcripts from each college or university attended.
Baccalaureate students must have official transcripts as indicated above (high school and college). Admission into the baccalaureate program will not be granted until all transcripts are on file and evaluated for transfer credit.
Limited access program applicants are expected to have all educational records on file well in advance of any application deadline for the program of choice.
Non-degree seeking students will be admitted without the requirement for transcripts. Enrollment in courses with placement testing requirements or pre-requisites may require a transcript to document eligibility.
Transient students may not be required to have official transcripts sent to the College. However, a Transient Student Authorization Form or some other written verification of enrollment approval is required each term of registration. Transient students from Florida state colleges and universities are encouraged to use the electronic transient approval process through www.FloridaShines.org.
