YOUR NEXT STEPS
Once accepted for admission, you will begin the enrollment process to officially become a TCF student. The following steps are needed to complete your enrollment. Please contact the Matriculation Office with any questions regarding your enrollment.
Step 1: Complete Financial Aid
- Submit the FAFSA (TCF school code 030282)
- Review award letter, once received (by email)
- Login to Financial Aid Portal to accept awards and complete loan documents
- If utilizing VA or military benefits, please submit the necessary documents (DD-214, COE, etc)
Step 2: Academic Forms
- Declaration of Major Form – Completing this form will ensure you take the correct courses to put you on the right path for your degree. If you are unsure of your major choice, just let the Office of Matriculation know and we will place you in general education courses. (If you are auditing courses or taking dual enrollment courses without pursuing a degree, you do not need to complete this form.)
- Bible Theology Test – All students take this test at the beginning of their time at Trinity and again upon graduation to help the college see how well we are training and equipping students in Bible and theology. This is a 42-question test. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Please do not use any resources to answer the questions. Doing well or poorly on this test will not affect your acceptance status to the college.
Step 3: Pay Deposit
- $50 Tuition Deposit (all students pay a non-refundable $50 tuition deposit)
- $150 Residency Deposit (resident students also pay a refundable $150 residency deposit which is a security deposit that is given back to the student at the end of their stay in the residence hall assuming there are no associated damages to their room)
- To make a payment by phone, please call 727.753.7162
Step 4: Send Final Transcripts and Scores
- Once completed, please request official, final transcripts from your high school and/or college to be sent to the Admissions Office. Final high school transcripts should show graduation information and all final grades. Official transcripts must come directly from the sending institution to Trinity College of Florida. Final transcripts can be sent via mail to 2430 Welbilt Blvd Trinity, FL 34638 or email to rachel.noble@trinitycollege.edu or sent through a transcript authentication service (Parchment, Clearinghouse, Scribble, etc).
