Florida Colleges

General Information

1. I have recently moved to Florida. Can you tell me which college is located closest to my new address?
2. What programs are offered at the colleges?
3. Am I eligible for in-state tuition? How can I establish residency for tuition purposes?
4. Where can I find information about state financial aid programs?
5. How can I get a copy of my transcript?
6. What services and accommodations are available for me as a student with a disability?
7. If I graduate from a Florida college with an Associate in Arts (AA) degree, will I be automatically admitted to the state university of my choice?

8. If I begin my college career at a Florida college, will I be able to transfer to a university before earning an AA degree?
    It is possible to transfer from a Florida college to a 4-year university prior to earning an AA degree, but the criteria for admissions for those students wishing to transfer before earning the AA degree is similar to that of students applying directly out of high school (i.e. more competitive). In addition, early transfer may result in students having to take additional courses to receive an AA degree. In order to ease the transition from a college to a university, it is recommended that students complete the AA degree at a college prior to transferring to a university.

9. I have noticed that many Florida colleges have changed their name. Does this mean that the institutions still have an open door admissions policy?
