Are you a high school senior who has not yet graduated? Don’t wait! Have your counselor send your current transcript to admissions@fdtc.edu.

Test Scores

Test scores are not required for admission to FDTC but are used for placement in classes. Read more about Placement Tests. If you have SAT, ACT, or Accuplacer scores within the past 5 years, please submit your Official Score Report electronically to admissions@fdtc.edu or by mail to: Florence-Darlington Technical College PO Box 100548 Florence, SC 29502-0548 Official Score Reports may also be submitted directly to the Admissions Office in the 5000 Building, Room 5316
