The State University System of Florida (SUS) began its 50th annual Admissions Tour today at Florida State University in Tallahassee. The event brings together high school counselors from across the state to meet with representatives from all 12 public universities within the system.
According to SUS Chancellor Ray Rodrigues, “For 50 years, the Admissions Tour has supported Florida’s high school students in achieving their higher education goals by providing high schools with vital admissions information and resources. Through this collaborative approach across the entire SUS, we demonstrate our commitment to a transparent and accessible admissions process, affording all potential students the same opportunity to earn their seat within the nation’s #1 higher education system.”
SUS Director of Admissions and Special Projects Diego Fermin said, “The Admissions Tour is an important part of the SUS’s relationship with Florida’s students and education professionals. By providing an opportunity to connect with high school counselors and leaders in Florida, we help strengthen the connection between our students and our universities. These interactions, presentations, and questionnaires are an invaluable resource that allow Florida’s high schools to be in the know about the latest news regarding student admissions to the SUS.”
The tour is free for high school counselors and aims to provide updated information on admissions policies, testing requirements, financial aid changes, and student resources. Each stop on the two-week tour features representatives from all 12 public universities in Florida. Counselors have opportunities to ask questions directly and receive guidance on recent developments related to university admissions.
