You're Accepted! What's Next?

Once you've been accepted to FLCC, we'll send you an acceptance letter, along with enrollment deposit instructions. After you have paid the deposit, we will send you the I-20, instructions to apply for an F1 Visa, and tips on making your travel arrangements.

Thinking about housing? Consider The Suites at Laker Landing, just a short walk from your classes and campus activities. There is a separate application for The Suites, and rooms are not guaranteed, so it is important to apply for housing once you make a decision. You must be accepted to FLCC before you apply for housing.
