Questions & Answers

Application Process Q&A

How do I apply for admission as a transfer student and what documents are required?

  1. Complete a paper application or apply online.
  2. Submit the electronic application with required $40 fee or send the completed, signed, paper application with required $50 fee.
  3. Official transcripts are required from all colleges you have attended. Unofficial transcripts can be used for admission only. If transcripts from one college or university list course work from a previously attended institution, this is not sufficient. Individual official transcripts are required from each college or university you have attended. Transcripts are only considered official if they are sent directly to the Office of Admission at Florida Tech from the Office of the Registrar at your previous college or university.
  4.  High School transcripts and SAT 1 or ACT test results are only required if you have completed less than 30 semester hours of college course work.
