Application Checklist

Please complete the following in your Application Community:

Start your admissions application.

We have made it simple to send us your unofficial transcripts.  You can use Point. Click. Send. to simply email or text us a screen shot of your unofficial transcript.  If you would rather use the SSAR, you will be able to complete your SSAR here.

Admission criteria to Florida Poly have become more rigorous. We now require applicants to submit an admissions essay as part of our evaluation in determining fit with the University. Recognizing that students are multi-dimensional, and aspects of potential can also be found in co-curricular and non-classroom activities, we are interested in learning as much as we can about how you have engaged your own interests, how you have been involved in extracurricular activities, your community, workplace, or how these experiences developed any special talents or knowledge that shaped your perspective. We welcome learning more about something that is important to you, or the journey of how you came to be the person you are, how well you express yourself or how you plan on taking advantage of the exceptional learning environment at Florida Poly.

This year, we strongly encourage at least one letter of recommendation to accompany your application given the increase in the number of competitive applications to Florida Poly (do not send more than three). Our preference is that we hear from a math or science teacher about your academic growth, potential, perseverance, focus, moxie and creativity.

Pay your $30 nonrefundable Application Fee or submit your SAT or ACT fee waiver to admissions@floridapoly.edu

Official SAT and/or ACT scores: These can be sent electronically by requesting them to be sent through College Board or the ACT website.
