• Be in good standing from their previous public high school and eligible to continue their enrollment there.
• Students under age 18 must complete an Application for Admission to Adult High School signed by a parent or legal guardian.

Students coming from an alternative or Charter school must:

• Be in good standing at their previous school at time of enrollment at the charter school.
• Submit a "letter of good standing" from the charter school.
• Receive approval from PJC administration.

Individuals who apply for admission fall into one of two categories:

• Transfer students are individuals who have withdrawn from other high school programs and desire to complete the State of Florida requirements for the standard high school diploma through the Adult High School at PJC. Applicants who desire to enroll as transfer students must complete the following steps:

• Transient students are individuals who would like to enroll in Adult High School classes while maintaining enrollment in another high school at the same time. In order to be admitted, transient students must submit:
  1. A letter or recommendation from a counselor in their home school stating the specific courses that they are approved to take.
  2. A completed AHS application to PJC obtained from the online New Student Packet or from the AHS Student Services Office, Building 11, Room 1113, 850.484.2130.
