New Incoming Students

Beginning in July, new fall 2024 incoming students will receive access to their online pre-orientation via Canvas. This pre-orientation will guide you through the required documents and options to submit them. In the meantime, students can refer to the enrollment checklists below to complete required documents before they arrive on campus for New Student Orientation. 

Some forms can be completed online, and some must be completed on paper with a wet signature. You can scan and send these documents to us securely through your online pre-orientation (preferred method). You can also bring completed documents with you to New Student Orientation, but please be aware that this may delay your check-in process. 

Please note: If you are a new incoming student for fall 2024 and have not received your invitation to Canvas pre-orientation by July 8, or are having difficulty accessing Canvas, please open a ticket by emailing details of your issue to ITHelpDesk@beaconcollege.edu

 

Returning Students

Beginning in fall 2024, some documents and collection methods have changed. Please review the list carefully to ensure that you are prepared to check-in on campus this fall. 

Please check your your Beacon College email for additional details on new or changed forms and for instructions on submitting your documents.

Complete Each Semester - New and Returning Students

Title Description

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student educational records. This release form allows you to provide access to your financial records for the purpose of assisting you with the financing of your education, your academic information and/or your housing information.  You can change who has access to this information at any time. This form is electronic and will require logging in to the student portal to complete.

Beacon College must get your correct identifying number to file Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement, with the IRS and to furnish a statement to you. This will be your Social Security Number (SSN) or, if you are not eligible to obtain an SSN, your individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Form 1098-T contains information about qualified tuition and related expenses to help determine whether you, or the person who can claim you as a dependent, may take either the tuition and fees deduction or claim an education credit to reduce federal income tax. For more information, see IRS Pub. 970, Tax Benefits for Higher Education.

The student financial agreement is required each semester. It ensures you understand your commitments and expectations as a Beacon College student.

In accordance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, Beacon College has a procedure to investigate when a student is reported missing. Each student has the option to designate a confidential contact by submitting this form to Housing & Residential Life. This person will be contacted within 24 hours of the time that a student is considered missing. Law enforcement officials (including Campus Safety) also will be notified of a student’s absence no later than 24 hours after the student has been deemed missing, and will follow their own investigation procedures. However, keeping your confidential contact up-to-date about your whereabouts will help the investigation considerably.

The Student Health Insurance “Wellfleet”  Opt-Out waiver is available after July 8. When completing the waiver, you must complete the form until you receive a confirmation code to waive the student health insurance plan. Failure to waive the health insurance will result in in the annual fee being applied to your fall billing statement. If you have questions, please contact the Beacon Health Office at: 352-638-9701 or mybeaconhealth@beaconcollege.edu.

It is critical that we have the most up-to-date information for current students' address and phone number. Please complete this form each semester to ensure that you receive appropriate communication from Beacon College. Parent information is used for invitation to Family Weekend and other community messages.

The Beacon College Housing contract must be completed each semester that you intend to live on campus. This contract outlines the agreements and expectations for students living in on-campus housing. 

Community Health Centers, equipped with a registered nurse designated for Beacon students, offers a wide range of private and confidential services to ensure that our students are physically able to meet the challenges of academic life. If your or your student have any questions about CHC registration, please refer to this informational slide deck [PDF].

Grant or refuse Beacon College with the right to use photographic or video likenesses of you in educational, directory, marketing or other lawful purposes.

This waiver is required for any student who wishes to use Beacon's on-site recreational facilities. (For students under 18, please request the parent/guardian version of this waiver.)

Beacon must have a contact person on file for you in case of emergency. This is a new form in 2024, so it must be completed at this time by both new and returning students. You can complete it through the student portal, and you can add or update your existing emergency contact information at any time through this same form.
