OWC is accredited to award Bachelor and Associates degrees, certificates and diplomas. Your educational goals will determine which admission steps you should complete in order to attend Northwest Florida State College. OWC has an open door admissions policy. This means any individual who is no longer enrolled in the K-12 system and is at least 16 years old* may be admitted to OWC. In general, new students may be admitted to OWC at any time during the year. However, some OWC programs have a once per year admissions period, limited access, or additional admissions requirements. OWC college-credit courses are open to those who do not intend to complete a degree or certificate and who wish to enroll for personal interest or professional development. For complete Admissions policies, see the OWC catalog or www.owc.edu/catalog. Call OWC Admissions at (850) 729-5373.
*Dual Enrollment, the OWC Collegiate High School, and other programs offer college credit opportunities for high school age students.
