Congratulations! We look forward to welcoming you as an official member of the Florida Tech Family!
Before you can officially enroll at Florida Tech, there are some steps you need to complete. These steps are listed and explained in your acceptance packet, as well as here.
Admitted undergraduate students: Follow the steps below!
Admitted graduate students: Before proceeding, please complete and return the Acceptance Confirmation Reply form and Medical History form that were delivered as part of your acceptance packet. Then follow the steps below!
By now, you should have received an email with instructions on how to activate your Florida Tech TRACKS account. TRACKS is your universal login and password for secure student systems at Florida Tech, including email and course registration. Your TRACKS activation email would have been sent to the address you provided on your application. You must activate TRACKS within two (2) weeks of receiving this email. If you have not received or have lost your TRACKS email, or if your link has expired, you must contact university tech support at (321) 674-7284 or email techsupport@fit.edu.
Panther Pass is a pre-orientation portal for admitted students, designed to take you step-by-step through all the tasks you need to complete before your arrival on campus. When you log in to Panther Pass, the first steps you will see are:
As you complete steps in Panther Pass, you can save your place. It is not necessarily to complete all of Panther Pass in one sitting.
U.S. and international students whose first or home language is not English must provide evidence of English proficiency by sending scores from one of the following to Florida Tech:
Minimum required scores are outlined in the English Proficiency policy.
English proficiency is not a requirement of admission, but it is required for issuance of immigration documentation and enrollment. Students who are admitted but do meet English Proficiency requirements will be invited to enroll in English training courses at the ELS Language Center or Florida Tech Bridge Program (Link) on campus before beginning academic coursework.
Once you have paid your tuition deposit, it is time to complete the I-20 request process. Follow these instructions to obtain your I-20. If you have not demonstrated English proficiency at this time, you must do so as part of the I-20 request process.
Upon receipt of your I-20, make an appointment with the U.S. embassy or consultate responsible for issuing nonimmigrant visas for your home country. This is the first step toward obtaining your visa.
Ready to complete a few more steps? Panther Pass will guide you through the following pre-enrollment steps:
You can log on and off as often as you wish to complete your tasks. Don't wait until the last minute. Several tasks you need to complete have deadlines. Task deadline dates are indicated in Panther Pass.
Once you have confirmed your enrollment by paying your tuition and housing deposits, all university messages regarding your class registration, e-bill, housing assignments, meal plan updates, and more will be sent only one place: your @my.fit.edu email address. Your @my.fit.edu account information will be sent to the email address you provided on your application. Be sure to check your new @my.fit.edu email account daily.
Admitted students are required to submit a final, official high school or college transcript(s) to Florida Institute of Technology. These transcripts must be mailed directly from the issuing school, not hand-delivered or sent electronically, to the Office of Undergraduate Admission (freshman, transfer) or the Office of Graduate Admissions (graduate).
The Office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) has prepared a great resource for international students to help prepare you for your transition to Florida Institute of Technology:
