Finish at the Top was created to support former Santa Fe College students who have completed more than fifty percent of their degree or credential but have yet to graduate. The program provides students with support and guidance through the re-enrollment process so that they may finally earn the degree they’ve worked for.
In 2019, the Florida Department of Education and the Florida College System announced that all 28 Florida colleges will support the Last Mile College Completion Program. Santa Fe College's Finish at the Top and the statewide Last Mile College Completion Program work concurrently to help students who left college with 12 or fewer credit hours remaining, to complete their first associate or baccalaureate degree.
