Santa Fe College is open and ready to help you! Be advised that anyone coming to campus must wear a mask and practice physical distancing. Learn more about the College's safety protocols in our Return to Campus Guide and Student FAQs. As we balance the changing needs for remote and in-person services, the Remote Student Services page can be a helpful resource for finding updated contact information and instructions for scheduling appointments with different offices. Be sure to use your free SF Zoom account for classes and appointments.

New to the College? You can learn more about resources that will help you succeed in our booklet, We're Here to Help: A Guide to Student Services.  

Santa Fe College (SF) is indebted to the selfless service provided to our country by our veterans and their families. SF’s Veterans and Military Success Services (VMSS) offers a holistic approach to helping veterans and their families pursue their educational goals. We have a thorough understanding of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) educational benefits and provide information and referrals. This year, SF was named a “Best for Vets” and “Military Friendly” school.

Veterans visiting our office have access to:

  • Academic and student support services
  • Tutor resources
  • Career seeking services
  • Out of state tuition and fee waivers
  • Disability resources (both service and non-service connected)
  • VA health care
  • Mental health and counseling services
  • A fully accessible student lounge
  • Refrigerator and microwave
  • Computer stations
  • Free coffee

Important!

Did you know that Santa Fe College has five separate articulation agreements with University of North Florida, Florida A&M University, University of South Florida, University of West Florida and the University of the Virgin Islands?
