Accepting your admission decision
Now that you are an Eagle, review each section below to get off to a flying start.
Registering for the mandatory Eagle View Orientationis your first step to committing to FGCU. We do not require an additional deposit;
however, the orientation registration fee is non-refundable. It's important to register early.At orientation, you will register for classes, receive academic advising, learn about
academic requirements and start getting acquainted with us. If you do not register
for orientation, your admission will be canceled. If reactivated, you will only be
allowed to enroll on a space-available basis.
You must provide proof of immunization before you can register for classes, so take
care of this before your orientation session. The documents will be reviewed and determined
complete or not by the immunization staff within 72 business hours after receiving
them. Additional immunizations may be required for students living in university housing
or who major in health professions. Questions and information about acceptable proof,
exemptions or temporary deferments may be directed to Student Health Services at 239-590-7966.
Your residency status impacts your tuition rate, and all students are classified as
non-Florida residents until the proper documentation is received by the Office of

be changed after the first week of classes, so take care of this promptly.
