To determine if your degree or certificate program requires placement testing, please review the EFSC Program & Admission Requirements.

You can also find information about Placement Testing requirements for college credit courses in that section of our website.

If you’ve taken the SAT/ACT and your scores are less than two years old or if you’ve completed college level English and math courses with a grade of “C” or higher, have your official test score reports and/or official transcripts sent to your primary campus.

If you do not have test scores or prior college experience, Eastern Florida offers College-Credit and Vocational Credit testing. You’ll find lots of resources for test preparation.

General orientation is mandatory for all first time in college students, transfer students, re-admit students, non-degree students who have not earned an associate degree or higher and recommended for all students. It’s an introduction to life at Eastern Florida. Click here for in-person Orientation Session dates and information about an online option.

As a first time in college student, you're required to meet with an academic advisor to develop a personalized academic plan and it's recommended for all students to meet with an advisor regularly to stay on track.

To schedule your advising appointment using our online system, login to the myEFSC Portal, then go to the EFSC Student Applications Section (found in the left column of myEFSC in desktop computer view) and from the drop-down list choose and launch "Student Services Appointments." You may also call 321-632-1111 to schedule an appointment and walk-in appointments are welcome at the EFSC Advising Offices. Students and advisors will have more time to interact during non-peak registration times.

• Registering for classes online is the easiest way to go if you do not have any holds on your account or if it's not your first time registering with an advisor. You can also register for classes in-person at any campus Advising office.
• Check out the Tuition & Fees section for information on paying fees.
• Student ID cards are available at any EFSC Campus Security Office for free by presenting your class registration and a photo ID. This ID also will be your library card and replacing a lost card costs $10.
• A Student Parking Permit is $40, plus tax – click here for information on where and how to obtain a permit.
• Bookstores are located on all four campuses. At least 30 days prior to the first day of class for each term, EFSC posts a list of each textbook required for each course offered at the institution during the upcoming term. You can find the list at the bookstore website's "Find Textbooks" page, which will include the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) for each required textbook or other identifying information, the title, all authors listed, publishers, edition number, copyright date and published date.
