Physical copies of transcripts and other enrollment documents can be mailed to: Full Sail, ATTN: Enrollment Department, 3300 University Blvd., Winter Park, FL 32792.

The first step in the enrollment process is to schedule an interview with an Admissions Representative; this will give you the opportunity to ask us any questions you may have, and, most importantly, determine whether Full Sail is right for you.

Once you've decided to enroll, you will need to fill out an application and pay the $75 registration fee. Full Sail’s registration fee can be deferred. Please reach out to your Admissions Representative for more information.

After you have enrolled, a deposit of $200 is required to reserve a seat for a degree program. The total amount of $275 will be credited towards tuition but is not covered by financial aid. If you wish to enroll in a second program, after the completion of the first program, you will need to provide an additional $200 seat deposit, equaling $475 total in enrollment fees.

• A government-issued photo identification such as a driver's license, passport, or state-issued ID card.
