You may take college credit courses for professional development, such as renewal of state certification for employment as a childcare worker or teacher.

If you are looking for non-credit courses through EFSC, often known as Continuing Education courses, visit the non-credit courses section of our website. There are non-credit courses offered that can lead to workplace certifications.

Eastern Florida uses a convenient online application system. You can pay the one-time, non-refundable $30 application fee online by credit card or in person by cash or check. If paying in person you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to pay the fee by cash or check at a Campus Cashiers office.

For determining residency, the Florida Residency Guidelines, will walk you through the process and required Declaration. This same Declaration is used by non-Florida residents to declare that classification. Be sure to follow up and submit the residency supporting documents to the EFSC campus you select as your primary campus. Campus admission office addresses are on the Residency Information sheet and on our main admissions contact page.

• You must register in person for classes each term at any campus Admissions/Records office. Use the online Class Schedule Search to find course information. Transcripts from prior schools are not necessary and will not be evaluated. However, you must provide proof that you have satisfied the course prerequisite when required. You may take up to 12 credits as non-degree seeking; after that time you must provide transcripts and/or declare a major and meet appropriate program requirements. (Unless you are a Brevard Public School Teacher.)
• Visit the Tuition & Fees sections for information on paying fees.
• Student ID cards are available at any EFSC Campus Security Office for free by presenting your class registration and a photo ID. This ID also will be your library card and replacing a lost card costs $10.
• A Student Parking Permit is required for Spring and Summer Term 2021 courses. The current permit is valid through August 17, 2021 and costs $20, plus tax. Getting the permit involves a two-step process to generate a temporary permit online and then pick up the permit at your campus security office.
• EFSC Bookstores offer on-campus service plus online ordering. At least 30 days prior to the first day of class for each term, EFSC posts a list of course materials required during the upcoming term. You can find the list at the bookstore's "Find Course Materials" page, which will include the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) for each required textbook or other identifying information, the title, all authors listed, publishers, edition number, copyright date and published date.
