Polk State College will be closed Monday for MLK Day

Polk State College will be closed Monday, Jan. 20, in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

Saturday classes will take place as scheduled, and registration will continue for spring 2020 12-week and FASTRACK 2 sessions.

Students who are registering for classes are encouraged to visit Polk State’s online Admission Steps, which walk through the registration process and answer frequently asked questions.

Students may register for classes through PASSPORT. They should also check PASSPORT for possible holds on their accounts that may prevent them from registering so that those holds can be resolved.

Students will find answers to frequently asked questions about topics including placement testing (PERT), financial aid, paying for college, establishing Florida residency, submitting transcripts, and more online at Admission & Aid.

Additionally, students are encouraged to begin the financial aid process as early as possible. The first step is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Assistance completing the FAFSA is available through the Office of Student Financial Services.

Throughout the registration and financial aid process, students should regularly check PASSPORT and their College email accounts for important registration and financial aid information from the College.
