Steps to Enroll

Students transferring from another college or university with or without a degree should follow these steps in order to become a student at SF. Students who are transferring high school dual enrollment credits from another college or university should also follow these steps.

Complete Residency Declaration for Discounted Tuition

The tuition you pay is determined by your residency classification. Florida residents pay a much lower (discounted) tuition rate than out-of-state residents. All students who apply for admission will be admitted as non-Florida residents pending submission of the required forms and supporting documentation needed to prove Florida residency.

  1. Login to your eSantaFe account and check your "My Status" for next steps to complete the residency process.
  2. The residency declaration and all supporting documentation must be submitted prior to the first day of classes of your first term in order to receive discounted tuition.

Note: Returning students need to re-confirm proof of residency, even if you previously had Florida Residency when you were last enrolled at SF.

For more information on Florida Residency, visit the Discounted Tuition page.
