You are a bachelor’s degree student if you have completed an associate degree or higher and now want to complete a bachelor’s degree program. We’re glad you’ve decided to further your education at FGC!

Please follow the steps below as you plan your FGC educational career. Keep in mind that only the first three enrollment steps (apply, high school transcript and college transcripts) are required for admission, but some remaining steps can be completed simultaneously to expedite your enrollment. Remember that we are here to help you through this process and that your success is important to us.


Application Steps

Apply for Admission – Free!
High School Transcript

Send official high school transcript to Enrollment Services, Florida Gateway College, 149 SE College Place, Lake City, FL 32025. If you had official transcripts sent directly to you, do not open them. You will need to send the official transcript, in the unopened envelope, to Enrollment Services through the U.S. mail.  If you are readmitting to FGC, transcripts provided during your previous enrollment process will not be needed again.

If your high school credential was earned outside of the United States, a high school equivalency report from a NACES-approved evaluation service is required.  Contact Enrollment Services for more information.

College Transcript

Send official transcripts from all previously attended colleges to Enrollment Services, Florida Gateway College, 149 SE College Place, Lake City, FL  32025.  We will evaluate your college transcripts for transfer credit and notify you at your wolves email account upon completion.  This step is necessary to receive advising, financial aid, and the ability to register for classes.

Official transcripts from a regionally accredited college or university indicating that you have earned an Associate in Science (A.S.), Associate in Arts (A.A.), or higher degree with a GPA of 2.0 or higher, if the degree was not earned at FGC, is required for bachelor programs.  Admission to some FGC baccalaureate programs requires specific degrees.

If you earned college-level coursework outside of the United States, a course-by-course evaluation report from a NACES-approved evaluation service is required.  Contact Enrollment Services for more information.

Acceptance

Receive your letter of acceptance that will include important login information for your MyFGC Portal, as well as steps following admission. Bachelor programs have additional admission requirements that must be met to gain acceptance into the program, so be sure to check the academic program page.

Financial Aid

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) whether you think you are eligible or not. Many scholarship opportunities at FGC require a completed FAFSA. Check this step off your list as early as possible – may be completed prior to admission.

FGC school code: 001501. Visit Financial Aid for more information.

Proof of Residency

This requirement allows you to be considered for in-state tuition rates. You may complete this step when you apply for admission by submitting the residency form and documents. Proving residency reduces your tuition by over 70%. For example, a 3 credit class will cost $310 instead of $1175.

Residency declaration and supporting documentation may be submitted to Enrollment Services through mail, email, or fax.  Mailing address: Enrollment Services, Florida Gateway College, 149 SE College Place, Lake City, FL 32025.  Email address: enrollment.services@fgc.edu.  Fax: 386-754-4581.
