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.
