Admissions

Have goals, meet with an academic advisor and set up an educational plan...and FOLLOW IT! (It helps SO much when choosing classes)

Seminole State College of Florida's welcoming attitudes toward all students lessens the amount of worry for students who are nervous about college, but if you are planning to attend the school I would advise setting up an early orientation session, preferably two months ahead of your starting semester so that you can get familiar with the various aspects of the college and so that you can get into the classes that you want since the college is one of the fastest growing in the state and its not good to try to register at the last minute. Other than signing up early, there is not much to advise prospective students about, just sign up early and enjoy the experience.

Get involved!! My time at Seminole State was incredible and life changing because of my decision to get involved with Student Activities such as the Student Government Association, Phi Theta Kappa, and other clubs and organizations. I had the opportunity to make very close relationships with the Student Life faculty, which has opened up several doors for me. Leadership Retreats are free to students and the best possible way to spend a weekend. I learned and changed so much from being involved, and I can't recommend the Leadership Institute enough! Stop by the Student Life office at C-102 for an amazing opportunity. Also, if you have a 3.2 GPA, join the Honors Institute! The classes and professors are amazing, and the other honors students became family. You won't regret it!

I would suggest getting a planner to organize your classes, many of teachers have different schedules for test and assignments. I normally put all of my tests and assignments in my planner at the beginning of the semester.

take a tour of the campus. attend seminars. meet with an Advisor.

Prospective students should be ready to work with good instructors who will be there to guide them to the path of success. But at they same time they have to be hard working and ready to study.

Study hard and listen to the professors, Seminole State has everything you need to make your dream come true.
Take advantage of the Academic center, and the wisdom of the faculty and staff.

I would suggest that you start the application and registration process early. The school has a lot of students and the administration office can get very busy when it gets close to the start of the semester. Luckily, many things can be done on the SSC Website.

sign up to be a full time student if you can! many new students fear the school schedules and choose one or two classes a semester. however, they soon find that they are stuck at school long after their classmates have graduated and moved onto another university and/or career! do not be afraid to sign up for more classes! work with the guidance counselors to help create a balanced school schedule that will work with your lifestyle. they are there to help you stay on top of things!
