Steps to Enroll: First-Time-in-College Students

Thank you for your interest in attending Seminole State College! Here's what you need to know to get started. If you have any questions regarding the admissions process, please contact Admissions.

 
1. Submit an Application for Admission
You have several options for applying to Seminole State College:
2. Verify Your Residency Status
Please download and print a Florida Residency Affidavit. The Florida Residency Affidavit is a very important part of the application process and should be completed as soon as possible; it determines your eligibility for in-state tuition rates. Proper documentation must be completed and submitted before you can register for classes. The last day to submit this documentation is always the day before each term begins. This deadline is strictly observed.
3. Create Your MySeminoleState Student Account
Visit MySeminoleState online and click "Create New Student Account" in the Login box. Fill in the blank fields, and click "Save." If you have questions, visit the MySeminoleState Student Help page or call the MySeminoleState help line at 407.708.2050.

Please wait 48 hours after creating your MySeminoleState account to view the online orientation.

4. Complete an Entrance Exam
If you have already taken the SAT or ACT, you must submit an official copy of your scores to Seminole State's Records Office before your advising appointment. If you have not taken either test, the Computerized Placement Test (CPT) is provided on a walk-in basis at the Assessment and Testing Center on the Sanford/Lake Mary, Oviedo and Altamonte Springs campuses. Testing hours are available online or by calling 407.708.2020.
5. Complete a Financial Aid Form
If you have not applied for financial aid, do so immediately on the FAFSA website. Seminole State's six-digit FAFSA code is 001520. It typically takes four to six weeks to determine your eligibility.
6. Provide Your Transcripts
Official transcripts must be sent from your high school to the Seminole State Records Office:

Seminole State College
Records Office
100 Weldon Boulevard
Sanford, FL 32773

They must be received by the end of the add/drop period of your first term at Seminole State.

7. View Seminole State's Online Orientation
Orientation is mandatory for all new students. During orientation, you will learn about College policies and procedures as well as campus activities. Click here to complete the online orientation. For more information, call 407.708.2050

You cannot view the online orientation until you have created your MySeminoleState account.

8. Schedule an FTIC Group Advisement Appointment
After completing your online orientation, you will schedule a First-Time-in-College (FTIC) Group Advisement session. Please make sure your test scores are on file before your session. Test scores are used to help you plan a course schedule for your first term at Seminole State.
9. Register for Classes
You will register for classes during your FTIC Group Advisement Appointment.
10. Defer Fees
If you are receiving financial aid, you must accept or decline your financial aid and electronically sign a fee deferment. To do so, log in to MySeminoleState and select "Accept Aid and Defer Payment." Click here for detailed instructions.
11. Pay for Your Classes
Log in to MySeminoleState to determine how much you owe the College and your payment due date. You can pay your tuition and fees at any campus Cashiers/Business Office or online with MySeminoleState. Cash, debit cards, personal checks, American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa are accepted forms of payment.
