Admissions


Open-door access and affordability are important to Florida’s Community Colleges.

Florida’s 28 community colleges are open to everyone and offer GED training, adult basic education, as well as certificate, associate, and bachelor’s degree programs. Certificate and degree programs offered at the community colleges range from auto mechanics to nursing to the Associate in Arts degree, which guarantees transfer to a state university. Many community colleges are now offering bachelor’s degrees as well. If you plan to pursue an associate’s or bachelor’s degree, you will need to earn a standard high school diploma, GED or demonstrate success in college coursework. You do not have to have a minimum GPA or SAT/ACT score in order to be admitted, you just have to have a goal and the willingness to learn.

There are numerous resources available to assist students in decisions related to community college admissions, including:

Florida Statutes

  • 1007.263 - Community college students
