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.
- Login to your eSantaFe account and check your "My Status" for next steps to complete the residency process.
- 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.
For more information on Florida Residency, visit the Discounted Tuition page.
- Complete the Registration Agreement in "My Status".
- Register and pay for classes in eSantaFe.
- Fees must be paid prior to the date posted on your "My Schedule" or you will be purged from your classes.
- You cannot receive financial aid at both your home and host institution. The best option is for the home school for which you are degree-seeking to provide financial aid. Learn more regarding financial aid for transient students.
Pick up your Santa Fe College student ID card in Building S after you have paid for classes.
