The College’s District Board of Trustees will vote on the fee changes at the Tuesday, June 17, meeting set for 5:30 p.m. on the Pensacola campus. If approved by the Board of Trustees, the new fees will take effect for the Fall 2025 Semester.
Matriculation Fee to Application Fee
Pensacola State College’s matriculation fee is a $30 fee assessed for processing the College’s application. The matriculation fee includes the cost of application processing in addition to a variety of costs, including external credit and fraud evaluations, transcript evaluations, student orientation, placement exams, and associated items necessary for initial enrollment. The matriculation fee is currently assessed upon admission and is due when fees for the first class are due. The lack of an entry application fee has made admission to the College a no-cost financial aid fraud opportunity for fraudsters. To reduce the number of fraudsters, the College recommends changing the timing of the fee collection to before the application and changing the name of the fee to an application fee to reflect that change.
