Can I Take A Course Without Applying To A Degree Program? How?
Yes, you may take credit courses for personal enrichment without formally
applying to a degree program. You also can take courses on an audit (noncredit)
basis, if space is available, or as a transient student if you are enrolled
elsewhere.
When Do Classes Begin? How Do I Register?
An academic-year calendar,
which includes the dates for registration and the first day of classes,
is provided. You can file an application anytime during the academic year.
Application deadlines are generally one month prior to published registration
dates.Authorized new students can enroll during the walk-in registrations
held just prior to the beginning of each term. Please refer to the academic calendar for specific dates. Once you have completed one term, you can register
in advance online.
Is My Diploma A Rollins College Diploma?
Yes. Your course work in the Holt School leads to a degree from an accredited
program within Rollins College.
How Much Credit Can I Transfer From Other Colleges?
Up to 64 semester hours can be transferred from a lower-level institution.
There is no limit on transfer credit at the upper division level; however,
the last nine courses for the Bachelor of Arts Degree must be taken in
residence at Rollins College. It does not matter how long ago you earned
these credits. An academic adviser can evaluate your transcripts and show
you how the acceptable courses will apply to your program here. The only
courses that will not transfer are those in areas not typically offered
by Rollins, for example, home economics, technical or training courses,
remedial courses, and physical education. Most academic courses in the
social sciences, natural sciences and humanities will transfer if you earned
a C- or better in them.
How Long Does It Take To Obtain The Bachelor of Arts?
The B.A. requires 140 semester hours (35 courses). Completion time depends
upon how many courses you can transfer, the major you select, and the number
of courses you can complete each term. Most Rollins courses count four
semester hours of credit.You must complete at least 36 hours at Rollins
for the Bachelor of Arts. One-fourth of the major and minor courses must
be taken at Rollins.
Can I Attend Full-Time?
Yes. Three courses in the fall and spring terms and two in the summer are
considered full-time. We recommend, however, that students employed full-time
register for only two courses per term. This is not a requirement and may
be adjusted according to individual aptitudes and circumstances. Students
who enroll in at least three courses in the fall and spring are eligible
for the Florida Resident Access Grant, a state financial aid program that
provides about $1100 per semester for students who have been Florida residents
for 12 consecutive months.
Is Career Counseling Available?
Yes. Individual consultation with the Holt School Career Conselor is available
by appointment. Services include career advising, major selection, resume
writing, and coaching. Services related to career transition and job search
are also available. To learn more about the Holt School Career Services, click

What If I Have Been Away From College for Awhile?
Our programs are especially designed for students who may have been out
of college for a while. We offer many support services to help you succeed.
These include academic advising, academic skills development services,
a writing center, and individual academic advisers.Returning to college
is exciting and satisfying. Students usually find that their initial hesitation
quickly disappears. Most individuals experience a sense of accomplishment,
the enjoyment of learning new things, and meeting new friends with similar
goals and values.
