Florida Poly
Premeire is Coming to a Theater Near You!
Join us at your local movie theater to
learn more about Florida Poly. We will be rolling out the purple carpet for
our future students and parents to showcase our six innovative degrees and
our unique college experience. Meet our admissions team for a short
presentation and video from 11am to 1pm at the following dates and
locations:
Florida Polytechnic will soon be open for
campus tours! On November 25th, the admissions team will be moving into our
new building on campus and will begin prepping for visitors. Tours will be
up and running December 2nd. Come see our 160,000-square-foot Innovation,
Science and Technology (IST) building which will house classrooms, labs,
common areas and faculty offices. You’ll get a firsthand look at our
170-acre campus that will continue to develop as Florida Poly expands. Once
you’ve seen the campus, take time out to explore the city of Lakeland. Walk
around the shops or catch an IMAX movie at the Lakeside Village shopping
center. Then have dinner at one of the many restaurants downtown, or –
better yet – ask us about Lakeland’s next Food Truck Rally! You can
coordinate your visit for a special post-tour treat.
Because our campus is still an active
construction site, everyone who goes on tour will be required to
wear long pants, closed toed shoes, and a Florida Poly hard hat. As a
result, we can only accommodate small groups of 12 or less at a time. For
larger groups, please contact the admissions office directly.
Tours are by appointment and will take
place every day Monday-Saturday at the following times:
- Monday-Thursday
10:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m.
- Friday
10:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m.
- Saturday
10:00 a.m.
Over the past few months, Florida Poly
recruiters have traveled throughout the state of Florida visiting more than
200 high schools and college fairs. The student response has been amazing!
One special event that Florida Poly
attended was Robocon, which took place in Tampa October 27-28. Robocon
brought together students with a passion for engineering from around the
state of Florida. Our team met tons who were excited about the possibility
of joining Florida Poly’s inaugural class in 2014!
Events like Robocon are important for
introducing young engineers to opportunities that are right at their
fingertips – like Florida Poly, a dedicated STEM university right here in
their home state!

Initial Application Deadline
Counselors, it has been an exciting first
application season for Florida Polytechnic University! The interest from
students has exceeded our expectations. So far we have received more than
3,500 inquiries and over 1,000 applications. Much of this interest is
thanks to your awesome work helping us get the word out about Florida Poly.
Thank you!
We’ve also tried to make the application process
as simple as possible. Remember, there is no essay requirement and students
are able to submit their application even if they do not have their
transcripts, letters of recommendation or ACT/SAT (with Writing) test
scores just yet. The $30 application fee is waived until December 1st, but
if a student, for some reason, cannot summit their application before that
date, we will accept fee waivers to ensure no one misses this great
opportunity due to financial burden.
Thank you again for your support and great
work!
