Please respond to every question on the application. Please do not leave any blanks; if an item does not apply to you, mark it N/A.

See the Dates and Deadlines page for more information on the application fee.

Step 2: ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPTS
(We must receive official copies of transcripts in sealed envelopes from each school). Use the Academic Transcript Request Form to request transcripts from other schools (You may copy this form as needed.)

• High School: Complete a Transcript Request Form and submit it to the high school from which you graduated. If you have not yet graduated, request that a current transcript be sent now, and a final transcript be sent after your graduation. We require a 2.5 Cumulative GPA.
• GED: If you received a GED, contact the Department of Education in the state where you took the test and ask that they have an official transcript of your scores sent to the Admissions Office. Please call the Admissions Office if you need assistance with this.
• College: If you have been enrolled at another college, complete and submit a Transcript Request Form to each college you have attended. If you have obtained 12 hours or more of transferable college credit, you will not need to submit a high school transcript. We require a 2.0 Cumulative GPA.

Step 3: TWO AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ESSAYS & SIGNED ESSAY FORM:
Answer one of the essay statements from each section of the Autobiographical Essays Form on a separate sheet of paper. The essays should be typed and double-spaced.

It is important that these autobiographical essays are your own work and are factually correct. You must submit the signed essay form with your Autobiographical Essays, verifying that it is your work.

Step 4: THREE REFERENCE FORMS:
You are required to provide three reference forms for the application process. Please have two of your church leaders fill out this form: Church Leader reference form and have your teacher OR employer fill out this form: Teacher/Employer reference form. Please understand that these references cannot come from a family member, and you need to have known them for at least one year. (Church Leaders can include: Senior Minister, Youth Minister, Elder, Deacon, Bible Study Teacher, Small Group Leader, Sponsor in the Youth Group, Worship Minister, etc.) Please note, if you are a homeschooled student who does not have a job, you are allowed to use another church leader reference in place of the teacher/employer reference.

Step 5: ACT/SAT SCORES :
Please have a copy of either your ACT or SAT scores sent to FCC. Our minimum ACT score requirement is 18 (Composite Score), and our minimum SAT score requirement is 870 (Math and Critical Reading score combined). If you have not already taken either of these tests, please arrange to take one of them as soon as possible and have the results sent to FCC. Our SAT Code is 2167 and our ACT Code is 0742. If your test scores are listed on your H.S. transcript, this is acceptable as well. If you are transferring from another college with 12 credit hours or more of transferable credit, you will not be required to submit test scores.

Please Note

1. International Student Information: The Government of the United States requires proof of support before accepting any student from another country into the U.S. Such support can come as a written affidavit from friends or organizations from your home country, or if you have relatives or friends living in the U.S. who are willing to support your educational endeavors, they can forward such promise to the College and it will be received. There is no federal or state financial aid available for international students. Florida Christian College has no scholarship money available for foreign students with the occasional exception of missionaries and their families.

FCC is under the authority of the United States Government to have verification of proof of support before it can issue the I-20 form to foreign students. This I-20 form is needed to come into the U.S. and to obtain a foreign student visa. FCC will only accept payments made in the form of International Postal Money Orders. You must also have money in a local bank while attending school.

Florida Christian College is affiliated with the Independent Christian Churches and Churches of Christ. It is important to have the endorsement of a missionary that is known to the college. The missionary must know the student in the setting of his or her home nation and the endorsement must include the missionary's assessment of the student's plans for Christian service.

All foreign prospects must have money in a local bank for a return trip.

2. The Admissions Committee acts to admit you when your admissions materials become available to them. These materials become the property of FCC and are not returnable.

3. Additional information regarding the college may be obtained by contacting the State Board of Independent Colleges and Universities, Department of Education, Tallahassee.

4. FCC admits students of any race, color, sex, handicap, and national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. The college does not discriminate in administration of its educational or admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, or athletic and other school administered programs.
