Florence-Darlington Technical College Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

FDTC requires applicants to attend an in-person Nursing Career Talk before applying to the ADN program, and attendance must fall within one year of the application date. Attend this specific session well before you plan to apply, but not so early that it falls outside the one-year window - check the FDTC calendar, campus screens, or social media for current session dates.

FDTC biology courses required for the ADN program can only be repeated once at any college, including FDTC itself - and a withdrawal (W or WF) counts as an attempt toward that limit. If you withdraw from or fail a required biology course, treat your next attempt as your final chance at that specific course, since a second unsuccessful attempt anywhere closes that pathway.

South Carolina's Lottery Tuition Assistance Program (LTAP) cannot be combined with the SC LIFE Scholarship or Palmetto Fellows Scholarship. If you're eligible for one of the more prestigious state scholarships, compare the actual dollar value of each option rather than assuming you can layer LTAP on top - the programs are mutually exclusive.

The South Carolina National Guard College Assistance Program opens on a specific date (June 1) and closes about ten weeks later (early August) for fall-semester funding, awarded strictly first-come, first-served. If you're National Guard-affiliated, mark this exact window and apply as early as possible within it, since funding can run out well before the official closing date.
