Admissions, Registration, and Financial Aid

 
 

Admission Procedures

The admission requirements for distance learning courses and degree programs are the same as the requirements for on-campus, face-to-face offerings. The only exception is the immunization requirement. If you enroll as an FGCU student and you NEVER come to campus to attend classes, then the immunization requirement can be waived. If, however, at any time you enroll in a class that requires face-to-face meetings on campus, you must meet the immunization requirement.

However, please note the following requirement:

Each semester, prior to registration, it is necessary that the distance learning student contact Student Health Services at (239) 590-7966 to move the hold date forward to allow for registration. The reason the hold is not permanently removed from the student’s account is because of the possibility of the distance learning student becoming an on-campus student. The University requires a student attending classes on campus to submit immunization records prior to walking into a classroom.

DL students who would like to eliminate this responsibility every semester, may complete the immunization record form and turn it into the University.

Anyone with Internet access may get the necessary admission’s information and documents from the FGCU website at: http://enrollment.fgcu.edu/admissions/

You also may e-mail any specific questions to Admissions@fgcu.edu or complete the Graduate and Undergraduate Request Information forms.

Registration Procedures

Once admitted as a degree-seeking or non-degree seeking student, you will receive a Letter of Admission which will include your personal pin number that you can use to register through the Internet at http://gulfline.fgcu.edu.
