Polk State will be closed 11/27-12/1 for Thanksgiving

Posted on by Polk Newsroom

Polk State College and its collegiate high schools will be closed from Wednesday, November 27, through Sunday, December 1, for Thanksgiving break. Saturday classes will not meet.

Enrollment will continue to take place for the Spring 2025 Semester. Classes start on January 6.

Currently enrolled students register for classes via the Polk Portal. Prospective students can submit a free application online at polk.edu or by clicking here.

Registering in the Polk Portal

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 “Spring 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.”
