However, depending on the student\u0026#8217;s intended program of study, there may be specific admission criteria that must be met. All applicants must complete the online NWFSC Admissions Application. An applicant is limited to one application per semester. If an applicant needs to make any changes to the application, he or she must complete an electronic Request for Exception: Admissions form to make any changes to the current application. A link to this request form can be found on the Admissions Page of the College\u0026#8217;s website. Upon admission, the student is bound to the rules and requirements set forth in the College Catalog in effect for the semester of admission. If the applicant fails to enroll during the semester of their initial admission, he or she will be required to complete a new Admissions Application for a future semester. \nGet Started\n1. It\u0026#8217;s free to apply to NWFSC. Apply online at www.nwfsc.edu/admissions.\n2.

Students may call (850) 502-2895 or email studentsuccess@nwfsc.edu to schedule an appointment.\n5. Each applicant will be notified by email of their admission status to the College.
