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.
