Upcoming Events
Santa Fe College hosts a variety of on-campus and online events designed to connect prospective students with academic programs and explore college opportunities. To learn more and stay updated on upcoming events, check out the full college calendar here.
Overview
Âé¶¹Ô´´ Achieve
Âé¶¹Ô´´ Achieve provides students in Alachua and Bradford County public high schools with
robust mentoring opportunities right inside their high schools – coaching them on
career exploration, time management, financial aid and more. That level of mentorship
will continue after students enroll at Âé¶¹Ô´´, along with a stipend to cover the costs
of their textbooks. Eligible students will also qualify for a full-tuition scholarship
that picks up where financial aid leaves off, helping to pay for up to 60 credit hours
at Âé¶¹Ô´´.
Student Ambassador Program
The Student Ambassador Program is a leadership opportunity for students who are dedicated
to serving and representing Santa Fe College. Student Ambassadors provide campus tours,
serve as an Âé¶¹Ô´´ representative and perform duties at various Âé¶¹Ô´´ campus and community
events.
Finish at the Top
The Finish at the Top program provides outreach to students in order to assist them
in the re-enrollment process so that they can finally complete their degree. The program
connects these students with the resources they need to support their success at Âé¶¹Ô´´.
Scholarships are available to those students who qualify.
On-Campus and Virtual Events
Santa Fe College holds a variety of events on-campus and online to connect prospective students with academic programs and college opportunities.
New Student Preview Days
Our New Student Preview events are focused on helping incoming students prepare for
the transition to college, and are held virtually several weeks prior to the start
of a student's first semester. The event offers breakout rooms for conversations with
Admissions Advisers, Student Ambassadors, Academic Coaches, and other Âé¶¹Ô´´ representatives
to prepare students for the upcoming semester. Preview Days will be held once a month
during the summer, and you can register at the link above.
Santa Fe Live
Santa Fe Live kicks off the school year by welcoming new students to Santa Fe College.
This in-person New Student Convocation, hosted by Student Ambassadors, showcases campus
resources and provides helpful tips about how to be successful and/or make the most
your college experience. Students can sign up in eSantaFe after they register for
Fall classes.
Middle School Parent and Family Engagement Workshops
Santa Fe College Admissions Team periodically hosts a series of workshops designed
to build positive connections and strengthen communication with parents, families,
and students before the college admissions process begins. The information provided
aims to support students and families educationally, financially, socially, and mentally.
Santa Fe College Fair
A college fair traditionally held each year in early Fall, the event brings colleges
and universities across the country to our campus. This year's College Fair will be
held on Wednesday, September 17. Mark your calendars as registration will open soon.
Open House Events
Held each year in the Spring, our Open House events are designed for high school seniors
and their families to learn more about the college and the enrollment process. The
next Open House at the Northwest Campus will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2026.
Registration will open this Fall.
Middle School Days
Events held throughout the academic year that bring 8th graders from each local middle
school to the Northwest campus. The events partner with the Âé¶¹Ô´´ Achieve program to
connect middle school students with college knowledge, ranging from career choices,
academic pathways and student life.
