The University conforms to the Student Consumer Information Requirements established by the United States Department of Education and hereby serves notice that the Director of Student Financial Aid and office staff are the persons designated under those requirements to assist the student or prospective student in obtaining information regarding student financial assistance.
The University is approved by the Florida State Approving Agency to offer training to veterans.
Upon enrollment, the student should notify the Business and Records Office of VA eligibility so that necessary enrollment certification forms can be sent to the VA. The university offers only administrative “record-keeping” assistance to veterans and is not responsible for determining eligibility for VA benefits.
There are many Veterans Administration rules and regulations that students should be aware of regarding courses offered off campus, such as independent study courses taken by audit (no benefits) and “I” grades. It is the student’s responsibility to inquire concerning all VA rules and regulations and to report any changes in status that affect these benefits. Additionally, VA benefits will be terminated for students dismissed for academic or disciplinary reasons and can be reinstated only after counseling and VA approval.
To get started, the student should contact the Department of Veterans Affairs (National number: 1-888-442-4551 or local: PO Box 1437, St. Petersburg, FL 33731) and request a list of all the forms and steps needed to complete the process.
The Academic Office offers students curriculum assistance, career information, and guidance in the personal, vocational, and academic aspects that may impede the student’s attainment of a college education. Counselors assist students individually in making appropriate educational, vocational, and personal choices. The office coordinates assisted institutional services for students with special needs.
Course selection is critical to student success; therefore, students should make an appointment with either their Program Coordinator, Academic Director, or Registrar Officer to confirm proper course selection prior to registration. Previously taken courses and the grades earned will be reviewed and analyzed to determine appropriate course placement at Polytechnic University – Orlando Campus.
Career education awareness is presented at workshops, seminars, colloquia, and receptions with notable guests. Student publications may also feature stories on career opportunities.
The Registrar’s Office of the Polytechnic University is an academic-administrative unit assigned to the Vice Presidency of Academic Affairs. We are responsible for ensuring the integrity and privacy of student academic records.
We also ensure compliance with the following processes and/or services: communication of academic offer, quarterly enrollment, academic transcripts, certifications of enrollment and awarded degrees, evaluation of Academic Progress Standards, readmissions, changes of address, department transfers and/or changes in curriculum, classroom allocation, academic assessments, graduate lists, coordination of the Exchange Program, withdrawals, and academic calendars, among others.
As part of our commitment, the Registrar’s Office ensures the reliable implementation of institutional policies and serves as an adviser on the practices governing academic and administrative operations. We serve as a link between academia and administration, ensuring ongoing assessment of our processes to improve our services. The Registrar’s Office also coordinates the Exchange Program and the Department of Veterans, serves as an adviser, and is responsible for certifying international students.
We are also responsible for coordinating registrar services at our Orlando, Florida, location. We hope this page will help you find the information you need and streamline the services you require. The Registrar’s Office is here to serve.
