FORTIS College Admissions Process

Unlike some schools, FORTIS College strives to create a personal relationship with students applying to their programs. When starting the application process, applicants meet with an admissions representative. This advisor helps steer prospective students through the application process. Representatives could be a valuable resource and provide students with details about upcoming deadlines and required supplemental materials.

While required grade point averages and materials differ by program, there are a few common admissions requirements. For starters, many FORTIS programs require students to submit a copy of their high school transcripts. Or, if they’ve completed an undergraduate degree, they may need to turn in a copy of those transcripts. Documents should be submitted to a campus advisor.

Admissions may also require students to submit an information sheet when applying. This sheet outlines students’ educational goals. Your answers could help admissions advisors guide you towards appropriate programs, classes, or degrees.

A fee of $100 must be submitted along with your official FORTIS College application. To apply, visit FORTIS College’s application on its site at Fortis.edu.

FORTIS College Financial Aid

In addition to meeting with an admissions advisor, applicants may also have the chance to speak with a financial advisor. These professionals could help guide you to potential financial aid options that you may qualify for. In the 2014 to 2015 school year, 98% of beginning, first-year students received financial aid.ⁱ During that time span, students received financial aid from:

Federal Grants

  - Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Trades
    Request Information
    Heating and air-conditioning systems control the temperature, humidity, and the total air quality in residential, commercial, industrial, and other buildings. Refrigeration systems make it possible to store and transport food, medicine, and other perishable items. Heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers—also called technicians—install, maintain, and repair such systems. Because heating, ventilation, airconditioning, and refrigeration systems often are referred to as HVACR systems, these workers also may be called HVACR technicians. Heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration systems consist of many mechanical, electrical, and electronic components, such as motors, compressors, pumps, fans, ducts, pipes, thermostats, and switches. In central forced air heating systems, for example, a furnace heats air that is distributed throughout the building via a system of metal or fiberglass ducts. Technicians must be able to maintain, diagnose, and correct problems throughout the entire system. To do this, they adjust system controls to recommended settings and test the performance of the entire system using special tools and test equipment. Upon graduation from the HVACR program, students will be qualified for entry-level work as Heating, Air Conditioning and/or Refrigeration technicians in both residential and commercial sites. The graduate will be adept at using a variety of tools, including hammers, wrenches, metal snips, electric drills, pipe cutters and benders, measurement gauges, and acetylene torches, to work with refrigerant lines and air ducts. They use voltmeters, thermometers, pressure gauges, manometers, and other testing devices to check airflow, refrigerant pressure, electrical circuits, burners, and other components.

  - Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Trades
    Heating and air-conditioning systems control the temperature, humidity, and the total air quality in residential, commercial, industrial, and other buildings. Refrigeration systems make it possible to store and transport food, medicine, and other perishable items. Heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers—also called technicians—install, maintain, and repair such systems. Because heating, ventilation, airconditioning, and refrigeration systems often are referred to as HVACR systems, these workers also may be called HVACR technicians. Heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration systems consist of many mechanical, electrical, and electronic components, such as motors, compressors, pumps, fans, ducts, pipes, thermostats, and switches. In central forced air heating systems, for example, a furnace heats air that is distributed throughout the building via a system of metal or fiberglass ducts. Technicians must be able to maintain, diagnose, and correct problems throughout the entire system. To do this, they adjust system controls to recommended settings and test the performance of the entire system using special tools and test equipment. Upon graduation from the HVACR program, students will be qualified for entry-level work as Heating, Air Conditioning and/or Refrigeration technicians in both residential and commercial sites. The graduate will be adept at using a variety of tools, including hammers, wrenches, metal snips, electric drills, pipe cutters and benders, measurement gauges, and acetylene torches, to work with refrigerant lines and air ducts. They use voltmeters, thermometers, pressure gauges, manometers, and other testing devices to check airflow, refrigerant pressure, electrical circuits, burners, and other components.
