Transfer Advisement Guidelines
Students are advised to:
• Meet with an SCF advisor 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,
and parking options.
• Financial aid recipients should complete loan exit counseling.
• Apply for graduation from State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota by the posted
deadline by using the online graduation application. For students pursuing the Associate in Science degree, the Associate in Applied
Science degree, and certificate academic programs at State College of Florida, academic
advisement is provided by program managers in 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.
Advisors are available to meet with students Monday through Friday throughout the
Fall, Spring, and Summer terms.
