Accepting your admission decision
Now that you are an Eagle, review each section below to get off to a flying start.
Activate your Eagle Access account to receive all future communications.
Look for an email from FGCU's Information Technology Services with information on
how to activate your Eagle Access account and access Gulfline. It should arrive in your inbox in a couple of days. In Gulfline you will complete
student-related tasks, like paying your deposit and course registration with the University.
Your Eagle Access account serves as your official University email account.
In order to accept your offer of admission, you must submit a $200 non-refundable
deposit. In Gulfline, select the "Pay Admissions Deposit" tab. Pay with an e-check (no fee) or with a
credit card (2.85% convenience charge). Once you pay your deposit, we will hold a
seat for you and you will move forward in the new student process. The deposit deadline
for fall is May 1st.
The admissions deposit is applicable to the term for which the student has been admitted
and is non-refundable. The deposit will be forfeited if the student does not enroll
in the deposited term. If a request to change terms is made after classes for the
original term of admission have begun, a deposit for the new term must be paid.
All new students must attend Eagle View Orientation (EVO). Directions on how to register for an orientation session for the Summer and Fall
semesters will be sent out starting in February. We will begin sending the EVO email
in October for students enrolling in the Spring semester. Register for EVO as soon
as you can in order to have the best selection of courses. Orientation is held in
late fall for the Spring term and throughout the summer for the Summer and Fall terms. Get orientation details
If you plan to live on campus, do not wait to apply for housing! We have three housing options: apartment-style living in North Lake or West Lake
Villages or suite-style living in South Village, which features our First Year Residential
Experience. Regardless of your preference, you must apply EARLY to get the best chance
to secure your 1st choice. Get details on housing
All students must establish residency as a Florida Resident or non-Florida resident
for tuition purposes. New students are considered non-Florida residents until proper documentation is received.
Non-Florida residents also need to complete this process. Completing residency is
essential for correct tuition billing, financial aid awarding, and merit scholarship
eligibility. Log into your Future Eagle account to complete the residency form. Click the View link next to your submitted application to view your list of supplemental items then
complete the Florida Residency for Tuition Purposes Form.
