How to Apply

FIRST YEAR STUDENTS

1.  COMPLETE THE COMMON APP
   

   Add Wilkes Honors College of Florida Atlantic under the "My Colleges" tab.

   The Common App

   Wilkes Honors College does not use the “Courses and Grades” section on the Common App. Instead, you will submit your courses and grades through the SSAR. (Self-reported Student Academic Record) (see step 2)

   Note: When considering both the main campus in Boca Raton and the Wilkes Honors College in Jupiter, students should submit only one application. If you have already applied through Florida Atlantic's application, email hcadmissions@fau.edu to request consideration for the Wilkes Honors College (include your name and Z#).

2. CREATE YOUR SSAR
   

   SSAR: Self-reported Student Academic Record

   You will receive an application acknowledgement email from Florida Atlantic (2-3 business days) including instructions to check your application status. For SSAR, go to admissions.fau.edu/status and click on the SSAR option. After entering SSAR credentials submit it to link it to your Wilkes Honors College of Florida Atlantic application. For more information about SSAR click here.

3. SELF-REPORT YOUR TEST SCORES (SAT/ACT/CLT)
   Self-report your test scores through the application status portal at admissions.fau.edu/status .
