Transfer Advisement Guidelines
Students are advised to:
• Meet with an SCF adviser or counselor periodically to discuss educational and career
goals.
• Utilize www.flvc.org, the state of Florida's online advising system, which includes planning outlines
for each major as well as information on admission, financial aid, scholarships and
special programs.
• Check foreign language requirement(s) of the intended transfer institution. Some
institutions have special requirements regarding course selection, admission and program
entrance.
• Review a catalog (hard copy or online) of the intended transfer institution.
• Submit an application for transfer admission as early as possible. Many colleges
and universities suggest applying at least one year in advance. Submit official copies
of all transcripts (high school and college) along with the admissions application.
Check with the transfer institution on priority admission application deadlines.
• Visit the campus of the intended transfer institution. Check into housing, food,
parking options.
• Complete all exit requirements.
• Apply for graduation from State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota by the posted
deadline. Applications for graduation can be obtained in Educational Records. For
students pursuing the associate in science degree, associate in applied science degree
and certificate academic programs at State College of Florida, academic advisement
is provided by each department office. Program managers guide students through course
selection and work in coordination with the SCF career resource center in providing
information and services on career exploration.
Advisers are available to meet with students Monday through Friday throughout the
Fall, Spring and Summer terms.
