If you are not already an accepted EFSC student, complete and properly submit the application for general admission to Eastern Florida State College. This application is available online.

There is a $30 non-refundable application fee for admission that must be submitted at the time of application to the college. Complete all general admissions requirements with the main EFSC Admissions office.

Please note that application processing can take up to 14 days due to the current volume of applications. Check your email frequently for your acceptance letter.

NOTE: This general application step pertains ONLY to those students who are not currently enrolled with the college. If you’re a returning/readmit student who applied to EFSC one or more years ago and have not completed a course in the past year, you must re-apply and can do so online and will not be charged the general EFSC application fee.

If you are a new EFSC student, your general admissions acceptance letter and email will list admissions requirements that you must complete to avoid holds that would prevent you from registering for courses if accepted into the firefighter program.

You can also review how to complete these general requirements on EFSC's accepted students page.

If you are an existing EFSC student, you need to verify that you do not have any holds that would prevent course registration if you are accepted into the program.

Visit the Registration Holds webpage for details on how to check your EFSC Message Center for holds and how to clear them.

After you have received your general EFSC Admissions Acceptance letter or if you are a current EFSC student, you must submit the online Public Safety Institute Application. This limited access application is in addition to the general application and MUST be properly submitted by the application deadline.

Your general admissions acceptance letter will include your student email address and password required to log in to your myEFSC account when prompted so you can submit the limited access Public Safety application.

If you plan to earn just the Fire Fighter certificate, be sure to choose that option on the application. If you instead want to earn the EMT one term and EFSC's Fire Fighter I/II CTC the next term, be sure to choose that option and pay careful attention to which term you are choosing.

Submit the Online Public Safety Application

There is a $25 non-refundable fee for the Public Safety application which can be paid through your myEFSC online account or at a campus Student Accounts Business Office no later than the application deadline.
