You won't be able to register for classes until you complete all of your enrollment steps!

 Find Your Enrollment Steps (Holds) 

Login to your FSW Student Portal and click the "Student Academics" tab followed by "View Holds" ("View Holds" instructional video). 

Most students need only what is listed below, but as the semester approaches, keep an eye on the email address you provided on your admissions application for specific instructions regarding your next steps in February/March (Summer or Fall Students) or October (Spring Students).

Note: Dual enrolled, international, bachelor's degree, and transient students will have different steps. Click these student types on www.fsw.edu/admissions for more.

Complete Residency Form (Residency Documentation Hold)

This hold is just a reminder to submit residency paperwork for discounted tuition as a Florida resident or to acknowledge acceptance of out-of-state tuition. It will not prevent class registration. If you submit the correct documentation, the hold will be removed. If you submitted more than 7 days ago and the hold hasn't been removed, check for an email from "docsign.net" (sent to the email address you used on the form) informing you of further action required.

Complete Online Orientation (Orientation Hold)

All First-Time in College* students must complete the Online Orientation Canvas course- you will receive an email with access information after you are admitted. Don't worry - it will only take about 30 minutes to complete! First-Time in College students will also receive email invitations to attend FSW Welcome Events.  

Submit Your Transcripts (High School Transcript or College Transcript Holds)

• First-Time in College* Students: A final, official high school transcript showing your graduation date should be submitted to the Office of Admissions as soon as possible.
• Transfer and Readmit Students: Official transcripts from any other college or university you have attended should be sent to the Office of the Registrar as soon as possible to allow proper course placement and advising.

Show College-Readiness (Assessment Hold)

If you have an "Assessment" hold, you will need to prove college-readiness through college-level SAT/ACT scores, prior college coursework, or placement testing. This information is used to determine the English, math and reading courses you will take to help you achieve academic success.

Attend an Advising Session (Advising Hold)

Once you have no other holds that will prevent registration, you will be ready to meet your Student Success Advisor and register for classes!

• First-Time in College* Students: You will receive an email to schedule your advising session. 
• Transfer and Readmit Students: You can schedule an appointment with your advisor in your FSW Student Portal. 

Applying to a limited access Health Profession program?

Many limited access programs in the School of Health Professions have a program application and additional steps that must be completed. Visit your program's page for more.

*First-Time in College includes incoming freshmen and any graduating high school senior with previous dual enrollment credit from FSW. 

Check Your Personal and Bucs Emails

Before you begin classes, some information will be sent to your personal email (the email address you provided on your admissions application) with the exception of financial aid and housing information which will be sent to your student Bucs email (@bucs.fsw.edu). Your Bucs email address can be found in your FSW Student Portal and will be used to communicate with you throughout your time as an FSW Buccaneer.
