Admission
Prospective students can submit a free online application to Polk State. Information on how to complete orientation and register for classes is included in email communications to students after they apply and in the online admission steps. Assistance with admission is available by emailing one of the following, based on the first letter of the student’s last name.
admissionsa@polk.edu (A-M)
admissionsz@polk.edu (N-Z)
Registration
Students should use their existing Polk State email address and password to log in to the Polk Portal.
To begin registration for classes, they will select “Open Registration Dashboard” under the “Registration Self-Service” card. Students will be given a list of options to choose from. To continue to class registration, students will select “Register for Classes.”
After selecting “Fall 2025” on the drop-down menu of terms open for registration, students will be sent to the registration page, where they can search for classes by subject, course number, instructional method, professor, or day of the week, among other options. A list of options that match the search will appear. To select a particular course, students should click “Add” in the far-right column.
Once courses are added, they will appear as “Pending” on the student’s summary screen and on the class schedule, which helps students ensure that none of their selected classes overlap. To officially register for the class, students must click “Submit” in the lower right-hand corner of the summary screen. Once that has been clicked, the status of the class will go from “Pending” to “Registered.”
