APPLICATION
STEP 1: Complete the PAD application at the link below.
Complete and submit this application using a browser other than Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Edge for best results.
If you previously attended a college or university under a different surname, please list that name in the "Former Last Name" block to ensure that transcripts issued under a former name can be associated with your application.

STEP 2: Request Transcripts of Each College/University Attended
Contact the Registrar of each college or university you have attended and request your official transcript. All transcripts must be received before Flagler College can make an admission decision. The Registrar at each college or university you have attended may submit your transcripts in one of three ways:
- Mail: Office of Admissions, Flagler College, 74 King Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084.
- Email: admissions@flagler.edu
Be sure to specify that your transcripts are sent to Flagler College – St. Augustine, not Flagler College – Tallahassee.
