Non-Traditional Admitted Students

It is important to claim your Eagle Access account. This will allow you access to FGCU accounts to achieve success as an FGCU Eagle. After claiming your account you will have access to:

• MyFGCU, a central student portal that allows you to navigate FGCU systems (further explained below) in a single convenient location. 
• Gulfline, allows you to complete student related tasks, such as applying for on-campus housing. 
• FGCU Eagle Mail is your student email. Please note: This is the email that all university business will be communicated from. University offices, including faculty/staff, will be sending important information to this address and may not respond to communication from personal email accounts. It is your responsibility to routinely monitor and manage your EagleMail. 
• Degree Works is an advising and degree-planning tool if you are transferring in with college credits. View how your courses transferred in an easy-to-read report (degree audit).

What if I need help?

Contact the Non-Traditional Admissions team, they are here to help you throughout this process. 

In order to accept your offer of admission and confirm your enrollment, you must submit a $200 non-refundable deposit. This $200 will be deducted from your cost of attendance. In your Future Eagle Account, select the "Secure Your Spot" button. Once you submit your deposit, we will hold a place for you in the upcoming class that you have been admitted to. 

If you want to change your start term after classes begin, you will need to submit a new deposit for that term. 

Experiencing financial hardship? Contact the Non-Traditional Admissions Team to determine if you are eligible to have your deposit waived. 

All students are required to present documented vaccine information. Immunization documents can be submitted in your FGCU Student Health Portal. 

Are you a Veteran? Submit your military medical records to satisfy this requirement.
