Frequently Asked Questions
 When
should I apply?
The
best time for prospective freshmen to apply is during the first
semester of their senior year, since that is when an applicant will
be eligible for the widest range of merit-based
scholarships. Transfers
should plan to apply at least one semester before the desired term
of entry.
How do I
apply?
The fastest and easiest way to apply is to take advantage of our
online application offered
through
www.commonapp.org. If you prefer, you can
download our application, or
contact us to request an application packet by mail (941-487-5000 or
admissions@ncf.edu; remember
to
include your name, address, telephone number, and, if
known, your academic interests). We also accept the Florida
university system application.
Can I
apply as a non-degree student or if I already have an undergraduate
degree?
The
College does not enroll students who have previously attained a
graduate or four-year undergraduate degree, or students who are
non-degree seeking.
How can I
find out about scholarship opportunities?
The
Office of Financial Aid website contains information about
scholarship opportunities for prospective students. Click
here for more information.
What about
the application fee?
The fee is $30 and the check should be made payable to New
College of Florida. Payment of fees for online options can be made
using a credit card or direct check payment at the time the
application is submitted. If the application fee presents a
hardship, please use the
NACAC Request for Application Fee Waiver
form.
How can I
find out if I qualify as an in-state resident for tuition purposes?
Information about residency, including supporting documentation that
you may be required to submit, can be found on the
FACTS.org website.
I have
been placed on the waitlist. What does that mean?
We
use the term “wait list” to describe a list of applicants to whom we
may extend an offer of admission at a future date. For further
details, please click
here or contact your admissions counselor.
If I am
denied admission, may I appeal?
Denied applicants may appeal the decision with a written petition
addressed to the Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid. A denied
applicant’s appeal must be received no later than May 25 for Fall
2008 admission, or January 2 for Spring 2008 admission.
The President of New College will review the petition of any denied
applicant appealing the Committee’s decision regarding substitution
or modification of an admission requirement on the basis of a
disability. The President’s decision on appeal shall
constitute the College’s final decision.
The Academic Council will review the petitions of all other denied
applicants. The request must indicate extenuating circumstances
and/or appropriate alternative evidence of academic ability and
achievement, motivation, and responsibility, indicating potential
for success at New College. Petitions that are denied by the
Academic Council may be further appealed to the Provost.
When do I
have to decide if I want to attend?
Admitted students submit a non-refundable, $200 tuition deposit
along with an Enrollment Status Form to indicate their intent to
enroll. Students admitted for the fall term are welcome to submit a
written request for a deposit extension to May 1.
What
should I submit for proof of immunization?
Each enrolling student is required to provide documentation of
immunity to measles and of immunization against rubella prior to
registration. The documentation should be submitted as soon as
possible to avoid denial or cancellation of registration.
Enrolling Students (or their parents if the students are minors)
will receive information concerning meningococcal meningitis and
hepatitis B. If they plan on residing in campus housing, they will
be required to show documentation of vaccinations against these two
diseases or, if they decline the vaccinations, will be required to
sign a waiver acknowledging receipt and review of the information
provided. For more information on these requirements, please contact
the
Counseling and Wellness Center.
