Records and Registration

Official Transcripts: Complete the Official Transcript Request form. Please complete a separate request form for each location you need to send a transcript to. Official transcripts cost $10.00 per copy. Payment must be made with the Student Business Services Office before your transcript can be released. Official transcripts can be sent electronically to certain public Florida universities and colleges if applicable. Printed copies will be mailed for all other requests. Transcripts will be processed within 5 business days. Printed copies can also be obtained in person at the Registrar’s Office by the student. Official transcripts cannot be emailed.

Transcript Fee Waiver for Active Duty Military/Veterans: In accordance with F.S. 1009.26 (17a), Florida Poly students who are active duty military, honorably discharged veterans of the United States Armed Forces, or spouse and/or dependents are eligible for a transcript fee waiver. The waiver will cover the $10 transcript cost. You must be verified by the Registrar's Office as a student, dependent and/or spouse who meets the criteria above before the waiver can be applied. Eligible students will complete the Active Duty Military/Veteran Transcript Request Form and submit it directly to the Registrar's Office for processing. 

Unofficial Transcripts: Students can view their unofficial transcripts in their CAMS portal. The unofficial transcript can be printed by clicking the print icon in the upper left corner of the transcript window.

Former Students:Alumni and former students who no longer have an active CAMS account can reactivate their account online. You will need to know your NetID/Florida Poly ID and 5-digit security code from your student ID card. If you do not have this information, contact the Help Desk at 863-874-8888.  

Students who need an additional copy of their diploma can complete the Duplicate Diploma Request form. Diplomas are not available in electronic format and can only be mailed or picked up in the Registrar’s Office.

Students can obtain an Enrollment Verification letter in their CAMS portal for a term they are enrolled.

If additional information is needed in the letter, email the Registrar's Office and include all the details for the letter. The Registrar's Office is able to complete some enrollment forms but in most cases will attach an Enrollment Verification letter with the pertinent details to the form. 

The university provides enrollment information to the National Student Clearinghouse each semester for employers and other educational institutions to use for enrollment verification.

If needed, official transcripts and diplomas can be notarized upon request at no change to the student. Students can add a note to the transcript or diploma request asking for the document to be notarized. Please note that it may take additional time to process these requests.

Official transcripts and diplomas do not need to be notarized to be considered official. Notarized copies should only be requested if required by the recipient of the document. 

The Registrar's Office does not process Apostille certifications for documents. Please visit the Department of State website for more information.

Transcripts and other educational records may be requested and picked up by a third-party if they have written consent or power of attorney from the student. An email from the student using their official University email account will suffice in most cases, but there may be some requests that will require notarized consent. The letter of consent should include the full name of individual requesting documents on student's behalf. The third-party will be required to show their photo ID before receiving the document. 

Please review the FERPA website for more information on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and ways students can authorize the release of their educational records. 

Florida Pubic Records Requests should be made through the Office of the General Counsel. 

Aggregate student data and information requests should be made through the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness. 

Students may request to inspect their educational records on file with the Office of the University Registrar by completing the Request for Review of Records form. Documents pertaining to student discipline/conduct, medical, counseling, financial aid, testing, career counseling, or police records are not considered education records.

Students can complete the Program of Study Changes form if they need to change their major, concentration, and/or catalog year. Before you complete the paperwork to change any part of your current academic program you must first meet with a success coach to have an informed discussion. Making changes to your program may impact your expected term of graduation and could result in additional Excess Credit Hour fees.

Students are not currently able to double major simultaneously. Students who wish to complete multiple programs at Florida Poly must complete one program and then apply for readmission to the university to complete another degree. The university will apply coursework taken under the first degree towards the second degree as appropriate.

Students are only able to have one concentration at a time with their selected major. Students are encouraged to work with their program Department Chair if they have questions about concentration coursework.

Florida Poly offers undergraduate, degree-seeking students the opportunity to add a certificate to their degree. These are add-ons and not substitutions for existing concentrations and, therefore, are subject to rules and requirements. More information can be found in the Academic Catalog.

Only first time in college and transfer students entering fall 2019 and after are eligible for earning a certificate. 

Students who are interested must complete the Certificate Declaration Form and receive approval from the Coordinator of the certificate. The list of Certificate Coordinators is located on the bottom of the Registrar Forms webpage.

The information below is to help guide students through this process.

2. A semester-by-semester plan of how you plan to complete your degree. Include the catalog year and major you intend to complete.

4. Your calculation of how many attempted credit hours beyond the 120 hours it will take for you to complete the degree. Students should be aware of how their remaining credit hours will contribute to their Excess Credit Hour Threshold and may result in the assessment of Excess Credit fees during their final terms.

5. Final official transcripts if you have completed courses elsewhere.
