Transcript(s): New College requires an official transcript sent from each secondary and post-secondary school you have attended. Failure to do so can result in denial of admission or your offer of admission being revoked.
If you completed high school by GED, an official transcript of your GED exam scores and official high school transcript are required. Students earning the AA from a Florida public community college should inquire individually about the possibility of waiving the high school transcript requirement.
Electronic Submission of Transcript(s): New College is a SPEEDE institution. We also may be addressed by FASTER schools using Institution ID '10002' and Spex Inst ID '730000003957400'.
Standardized Test Results (SAT or ACT): New College requires either SAT or ACT scores to be submitted along with your application, although SAT subject exams are not required. Official scores must be supplied in one of the following ways:
- sent directly to our office by the testing service, or
- reported on your official school transcript(s).
Students earning the AA from a Florida public community college should inquire individually about waiving the requirement for SAT or ACT scores.
Letter of Recommendation: New College requires one letter of recommendation from either a guidance counselor, college advisor, principal, dean or teacher who has taught you in an academic subject within the past two years at your school. For this letter, you need to use the official New College Recommendation Form (recommended) or the form supplied along with the Common Application. The recommender must submit the letter directly to the Admissions Office either electronically or by mail. We cannot accept recommendations submitted by the applicant.
