Deposit

PAY YOUR ENROLLMENT DEPOSIT TO CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE 

Paying your $235 enrollment deposit is an important first step toward becoming a Phoenix. 

Your enrollment deposit not only confirms your intent to attend Florida Poly, but it also holds your space in the incoming class. Once your deposit is received, additional critical resources will become available to you such as applying for housing and registering for courses. Submit your enrollment deposit today by logging into your Florida Poly student portal. If this is your first time logging in, click “reset password” and follow the prompts.

The nonrefundable enrollment deposit of $235, includes both your tuition deposit and orientation fee. The $200 tuition deposit is credited directly toward your tuition costs. 

Due Dates: FALL - May 1st

On-Campus Housing

SIGN-UP FOR ON-CAMPUS HOUSING

Ready to make campus life your own? Living on-campus at Florida Poly goes beyond just having a comfortable place to sleep and study. It's about seizing opportunities to connect with the campus, personal growth, and active participation in on-campus events. You’ll be able to choose between the Phase Two and Phase Three residence halls. Access to our housing application system StarRez will be sent via email approximately 48 hours after submitting your deposit.

Additional housing is available through Phase One, owned by Vestcor Companies. Information on Phase One can be found at https://www.floridapolystudentliving.com/.

 

Meal Plan

SIGN UP FOR A CAMPUS MEAL PLAN

All students living in the residence halls are required purchase a campus dining plan. And, even if you don’t plan to live on campus, you can also take advantage of a dining plan to have the convenience of choosing from a number of dining options throughout the day. Choose from several options that fit your schedule, lifestyle, and budget.

Immunization Forms

SUBMIT IMMUNIZATION FORMS

All incoming students must submit a medical health history form, including record of mandatory immunizations, completed and signed by your doctor.
