Application Procedures

How to Apply

An applicant can request an application from the office of undergraduate admissions at a university, pick up an application for any of the 11 state universities in Student Services at Chipola or apply online (see Instructions for Completing the State University Application for Admission).

Required Forms and Academic Credentials

  1. Application for Admission – Each applicant must completely fill out the application form. Check the application very carefully to see that all items on all pages are completed. Be sure the residency affidavit is completed accurately. It determines your tuition cost. If applying online, print the residency affidavit, complete and sign, then mail it to the admissions office.
     
  2. Application Fee – Make out a check or money order for appropriate amount (DO NOT SEND CASH) payable to the university. (Note: If the check is signed by someone other than the applicant, write the applicant’s name on the check in the lower left-hand corner.) This is a NON-REFUNDABLE application fee, and the application CANNOT be processed unless this fee is enclosed.
     
  3. Official Transcripts – At the time of application, request the registrar of the present institution and the registrar of EACH institution previously attended to send an official transcript of record to the university admissions office. (If you have had a name change, ask the registrar to indicate present name when sending your transcript.) IMPORTANT: Failure of the applicant to comply with this requirement will only result in delay in considering the application. All transfer students, including AA graduates, who wish to use the two high school foreign language credits must submit an official high school transcript. A final transcript must be sent from the last institution you attended after you have completed your courses.
     
  4. Report of College Level (CLEP) and Advanced Placement Examinations – If you have participated in the Advanced Placement Program (AP) or the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) sponsored by the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB), you must submit the results obtained on the examination(s) to the university admissions office in order to receive credit. To facilitate academic advisement and placement, scaled scores are desired, rather than percentile scores.
     
  5. Immunization – Each student must provide documented proof of immunity to measles and rubella, effective Fall Term 1986. Proof is required before you can register at a university.
     
  6. Foreign Language Admissions Requirement – Effective August 1, 1989, all undergraduate students who are admitted to a university shall have earned two credits of sequential foreign language at the secondary level (high school) or the equivalent of such instruction at the postsecondary level. The same number of college credits in American Sign Language may substitute for the foreign language admissions requirement at some institutions. NOTE: Some majors may have a foreign language graduation requirement in addition to the foreign language admission requirement. Check with a counselor.
     
  7. Upper-Division Prerequisites – The university catalog in effect at the time of a student’s initial collegiate enrollment shall govern upper-division prerequisites, provided the student maintains continuous enrollment, as defined in that catalog.
     
  8. "Limited Access" Programs – some "limited access" programs require a separate application, recommendations, transcript, test scores, GPA above 2.0, and/or deadline dates. Check with the department for the specific requirements.
