Getting Started at CFCC

CAREER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

Unsure of your major or career?  Free career assessments/tools in the Bryant Student Union, Room 205.


Step 1:  Application

Submit $20 one-time nonrefundable fee with all applications.  Submit paper applications to the Enrollment Services Center at the campus nearest you or mail to CFCC Admissions and Records, P.O. Box 1388, Ocala, FL 34478-1388. Online applications can be completed at CFCC’s web site, www.cf.edu, by clicking on “Apply.”  All sections of the online application must be filled out completely and payment can be submitted online as well.

Step 2: Transcripts

Every high school/GED and every college/vocational school you have attended must send an OFFICIAL (sealed, unopened envelope) transcript showing date of graduation to CFCC Admissions and Records via regular mail.  After your first semester, missing transcripts will block future registration.  To request an official copy of a GED from the Department of Education, use the GED request form (available in the Enrollment Services Center).

Step 3:  Financial Aid

Apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. 

  • Be sure to select appropriate academic year, include CFCC’s federal school code – 001471 – and sign your application electronically utilizing your PIN (www.pin.ed.gov).
  • Process can take 4-6 weeks (sometimes longer) and you may be asked to submit additional documents.
  • No aid can be processed until all high school and college transcripts are received and evaluated.
  • Vocational students, only programs with 30 credits or more may be approved for financial aid.

Step 4:  Placement Testing

Placement scores are needed in CFCC’s system prior to orientation and class registration.  ACT, SAT or CPT scores earned within the past two years are acceptable.

  • Request your SAT scores from www.collegeboard.com or your ACT scores from www.act.org.
  • To take the CPT (for $10), call 352-854-2322, ext. 1564 or 1395, to register (Ocala Campus), 352-746-6721, ext. 6168 (Citrus Campus), (352) 493-9533 (Levy Center) or 352-873-5881 (Hampton Campus). 
  • Vocational students, if you do not have a high school diploma or GED, you must meet minimum CPT score requirements in order to be eligible for financial aid.
  • Students are now required to take the College Level Math test to place into college-level math above MAT 1033 (intermediate algebra).  Transfer students who have successfully completed and transferred in college level English and college level math/algebra may be exempt from testing.

Step 5:  Orientation

New students seeking an associate degree must attend an in-person orientation.  Vocational and certificate students should contact their department advisor directly. Transfer and returning students must complete online orientation at http://www.cf.edu/departments/sa/enroll/online_orientation.pdf.

Step 6:  Fees

Fees are subject to change each academic year for in-state and out-of-state students.

    • Tuition and fees are due in full by the due date shown on your fee statement.
    • Nonpayment results in all classes being dropped (unless you have been awarded financial aid), and re-registration is on space available basis before the semester begins or during the “add” period only. 
    • Fees are paid in Ocala at the Cashier in the Bryant Student Union, at the Citrus Campus in Building L1, at the Levy Center, or online via the MyCFCC Portal from the schedule and fee statement.

    Step 7:   Parking Decal and Photo ID

    Bring a copy of your student schedule to the Public Safety Office next to the Bryant Student Union for your free parking decal and student photo ID.
