You’re sure that Florida Southern College is where you want to spend the next four years of your life. You visited campus and immediately connected with students, faculty, and staff. You’ve begun to call the place home, and you’ve yet to even apply.
In fact, Florida Southern is your top choice for college. You seriously cannot imagine yourself anywhere else. There is a way to help ensure that you get into Florida Southern. It’s called Early Decision. You’ll reap many rewards by applying early to FSC:
* Get a head start. You can apply as early as November of your senior year and receive notification by late December.
* Get a jump start on financial planning. You’ll receive notification of your financial award by January 1.
* Get your first pick of residence halls. Have your heart set on a particular room on a particular floor of a particular building? Lay your claim before others beat you to it.
* Start connecting to faculty and staff. Get to know your professors early in the process.
* Rest easy. You’ll enjoy your final moments of high school more knowing you’ve secured your place at the college of your dreams.
* Save time and money. Use all the money and energy you’ll save from not filling out applications to other schools to shop for cool things for your dorm room.
* You sign an agreement as part of the application process indicating your willingness to participate in the Early Decision program at Florida Southern College. Your high school guidance counselors and parents also sign the agreement.
* The agreement also confirms that you will, upon acceptance, be prepared to pay the enrollment deposit and enroll at FSC.
* This agreement is binding between you and Florida Southern College, certifying that upon acceptance to Florida Southern, you will withdraw applications to other colleges and universities.
* You must apply for Early Decision by December 1, and will be notified of an admissions decision by December 15. Students who are offered Early Decision admission will have their financial aid information by January 1.
For additional information about the Early Decision process, call the Office of Admissions toll-free at (800) 274-4131 or locally at 680-4131. You can also reach us via e-mail.
Let us hear from you soon. Remember, the operative word is “early.”
But here’s the catch: It’s reserved for only the most academically talented students with strong high school records—including grade point averages, SAT I or ACT scores, and rank in class—who selected Florida Southern College as their first choice for college study.
Early Decision applications are due by December 1!
