Now That You Are Admitted


Now that you have successfully SOARed through the application process and have received your letter of admittance, there are a few things you may still need to do to prepare yourself for enrollment at FGCU.

Print out the Admitted Student Checklist to make sure you have addressed everything before classes begin.  Transfer students should also check out our Transfer Articulation information about how their credits will transfer to FGCU.

 

Orientation

Eagle View Orientation is your first step to getting started at FGCU. At Orientation, you will have the opportunity to register for classes, get to know other new students, learn about academic requirements, and start getting acquainted with your new University! Visit the Eagle View Orientation  website for more information on signing up for your Orientation. Be sure to sign up early!

Immunization

The State University System of Florida requires all students born after December 31, 1956 to present documented proof of immunity to measles (rubeola) and German Measles (rubella) BEFORE they can register for classes. This written document must be signed by a physician, a nurse practitioner or a registered nurse and must be mailed, sent via fax, or brought to Student Health Services. Phone calls from your physician are not acceptable. Visit the Student Health Services website for more information and the necessary forms required.

Housing

For students interested in living on campus, be sure to fill out housing forms early. Visit the Office of Housing and Residence Life  website for more information on deadlines and the housing application process.

Financial Aid

Students may apply for financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) after January 1st of the year they intend to enroll. Don’t forget to include Florida Gulf Coast University’s code on your completed FAFSA (032553). Visit the Office of Financial Aid  website for more information regarding completing the FAFSA and priority deadlines for institutional scholarships.
