Students can register for classes in Passport. Prospective students must submit a free online application to Polk State. Information about the application, orientation, and registering for classes is available at www.polk.edu/admission-aid/admissionsteps. Dual enrollment students should work with their high school advisors and email DEregistration@polk.edu for registration assistance if needed.

Students who were enrolled for the Fall 2020 Semester or are currently enrolled this semester can also register for Fall 2021 Semester classes at this time.

Open enrollment for the Fall 2021 Semester will start on June 1. Fall classes will begin on August 16.

Prospective students are encouraged to attend a virtual open house event. Sessions are scheduled in April and May in both English and Spanish and will cover topics from the admissions process and registering for classes to applying for financial aid and scholarships. More information including a schedule of events, registration, and recordings of sessions are available at www.polk.edu/openhouse.
