Admissions Requirements for Non-Degree Seeking Students

Dual Enrollment

Eligible students include those residing in Seminole County or enrolled in a Seminole County Public or non-public school, as well as home-schooled students from Florida counties following state regulations. Students must receive approval from their high school before withdrawing. (For more information, please see the Alternative Ways to Earn Credit section).

Transient Students

Students in good standing at other colleges can enroll as transient students to take courses for transfer. Transient students who are part of the Florida College System may apply at the FloridaShines website. Applicants must submit a transient form, indicating approval from their home institution for credit transfer.

• Students of Private and Out-of-State Institutions: If your home institution is not listed on FloridaShines because you attend a private institution or an out-of-state school, you will need to apply to the College, complete a residency affidavit and obtain a transient form from your home institution. You must submit your completed transient form to the Admissions Office before you can register for classes. You may email it to transients@seminolestate.edu or you may also visit any of our four campuses and submit it in person.
