The State University System of Florida began its 50th annual Admissions Tour on September 3 at Florida State University in Tallahassee. The tour is designed to provide high school counselors from across the state with updated information about the admissions process for all 12 public universities in the system.
According to SUS Chancellor Ray Rodrigues, “For 50 years, the Admissions Tour has supported Florida’s high school students in achieving their higher education goals by providing high schools with vital admissions information and resources. Through this collaborative approach across the entire SUS, we demonstrate our commitment to a transparent and accessible admissions process, affording all potential students the same opportunity to earn their seat within the nation’s #1 higher education system.”
SUS Director of Admissions and Special Projects Diego Fermin added, “The Admissions Tour is an important part of the SUS’s relationship with Florida’s students and education professionals. By providing an opportunity to connect with high school counselors and leaders in Florida, we help strengthen the connection between our students and our universities. These interactions, presentations, and questionnaires are an invaluable resource that allow Florida’s high schools to be in the know about the latest news regarding student admissions to the SUS.”
The event is free for high school counselors. It aims to keep them informed about recent changes related to university admissions requirements, financial aid options, and post-secondary testing policies so they can better advise prospective college students.
Each stop on the two-week tour will feature representatives from all public universities within the system. This gives counselors direct access to ask questions about individual institutions or general policies.
Tour dates include stops at several campuses throughout Florida: September 3 at Florida State University (Tallahassee), September 4 at University of North Florida (Jacksonville), September 5 at University of Central Florida (Orlando), September 9 at University of South Florida (Tampa), September 10 at New College of Florida and University of South Florida (Sarasota), September 11 at Florida International University (Miami), and September 12 at Florida Atlantic University (Boca Raton).
