How to Enroll at CF Citrus
To begin your journey at CF, please follow the steps outlined below. All necessary forms are available in Enrollment Services, Building C4.
Step 1. Application:
You’ll need to submit a one-time, $20 nonrefundable fee with each application. Submit paper applications to the Enrollment Services Center at the campus nearest you or mail to CF Admissions and Records, 3001 SW College Road, Ocala FL 34474. Online applications can be completed at CF’s web site, www.CF.edu, by clicking on “Apply.” All sections of the online application must be filled out completely and payment can be submitted online as well.
Step 2. Transcripts:
You must request a transcript from every high school/GED and every college/vocational school you have attended. The OFFICIAL transcript must arrive in a sealed, unopened envelope showing date of graduation to CF Admissions and Records, 3001 SW College Road, Ocala FL 34474 via regular mail. After your first semester, missing transcripts will block future registration. To request an official copy of a GED from the Department of Education, use the GED request form available in the Enrollment Services Center.
Step 3. Financial Aid:
(If you do not need financial aid, move to step 3.)
Apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Be sure to select appropriate academic year, include CF’s federal school code – 001471 – and sign your application electronically utilizing your PIN (www.pin.ed.gov).
- Process may take 4-6 weeks (sometimes longer), and you may be asked to submit additional documents.
- No aid can be processed until all high school and college transcripts are received and evaluated.
- Vocational students, only programs with 30 credits or more may be approved for financial aid.
- For assistance filing the FAFSA, call the Citrus Educational Opportunity Center at 352-746-6721, ext. 6147.
Step 4. Placement Testing:
Placement scores are needed in CF’s system prior to orientation and class registration. ACT, SAT or CPT scores earned within the past two years are acceptable.
- Request your SAT scores from www.collegeboard.com or your ACT scores from www.act.org.
- To register for the CPT (for $10), call 352-854-2322, ext. 1564 or 1395 Ocala Campus, 352-249-1213 Citrus Campus, 352-493-9533 Levy Center or 352-873-5881 Hampton Campus.
- Vocational students, who do not have a high school diploma or GED, must meet minimum CPT score requirements in order to be eligible for financial aid.
- Students are now required to take the College Level Math test to place into college-level math above MAT 1033 (intermediate algebra). Transfer students who have successfully completed and transferred in college level English and college level math/algebra may be exempt from testing.
Step 5. Orientation:
New students seeking an associate degree must attend an in-person orientation. Vocational and certificate students should contact their department advisor directly. Transfer and returning students must complete online orientation at http://www.cf.edu/departments/sa/enroll/online_orientation.pdf.
Vocational or certificate seeking students DO NOT have to complete orientation.
Step 6. Fees:
Fees are subject to change each academic year for in-state and out-of-state students.
- Tuition and fees are due in full by the due date shown on your fee statement.
- Nonpayment may result in all classes being dropped (unless you have been awarded financial aid), and re-registration is on a space available basis before the semester begins or during the “add” period only.
- Fees are paid in Ocala at the Cashier in the Bryant Student Union, in Enrollment Services at the Citrus Campus in Building C4, at the Levy Center, or online via the MyCF portal from the student schedule, click on fee statement.
State employees – Students using the State Employee Tuition Waiver may register during the add period ONLY. Check the college catalog or our academic calendar online for this date. The waiver covers six (6) credit hours of tuition each semester. The Request for State Employee Fee Waiver MUST be completed each semester.
International students should call 352-854-2322, ext. 1386, for registration or information.
Transfer students – To register, students must request that official transcripts be sent from their high school and ALL colleges attended to CF’s Office of Admissions and Records. If students have not taken college level English or math, they may need to satisfy CF’s placement testing requirements (ACT, SAT, or CPT scores that are less than two years old). Transcripts must be received and evaluated by CF before a transfer student may register.
Transfer students should complete online orientation. They may then select courses and register on the Web on or after their priority registration date (posted on the MyCF Web Portal). Those needing additional academic advising and/or assistance with the online registration process, please call 352-873-5802 Ocala Campus, 352-249-1202 Citrus Campus or 352-493-9533Levy Center.
Transient students – Students must present a transient letter from their home college. Transient letters may be requested through an online service by going to www.FACTS.org. If the home or transient school does not participate in the online service, a hard copy letter must be obtained from the home school. The letter must specify the courses that the home college has approved for you to take at CF. If you decide to change your enrollment status to transfer at CF, you must complete a Change of Status Form to change your program of study – see “Transfer Students” directions above. Transient students may only register in-person in the Enrollment Services Center on the Ocala Campus, the Counseling Office at the Citrus Campus or at the Levy Center beginning on the 0+ priority registration date.
