CARE Accepted Students Next Steps

You will receive an email from FSU Information Technology Services (ITS) with your unique FSUID. To activate your FSUID, log in to the myFSU portal at my.fsu.edu, click Manage FSUID/Password, and follow the on-screen steps to complete the activation process.

Please note, if you were previously admitted to the University a unique FSUID was already assigned to you. To gain access to the myFSU portal, please log in using the FSUID you were initially assigned.

STEP 2: Complete a Housing Contract

Students admitted to the CARE Summer Bridge Program are required to live on campus for the summer term. CARE will cover the cost of summer housing, but if a student pays the summer contract fee, Housing will NOT refund the money. The summer housing contract is due by March 31, 2021. To complete a housing contract, go to the myHousing portal at housing.fsu.edu/myhousing.

Fall 2021/Spring 2022

The Fall 2021/Spring 2022 housing contract opens February 24, 2021. You will receive your assignment for Fall in late June. Once you have your assignment, you will have access to the names of your roommate(s) and suite-mates.

Living Learning Community

The Living Learning Community (LLC) application opens March 1, 2021. Visit housing.fsu.edu/living-learning-communities for more information.

Summer

The Summer housing contract opens on March 3, 2021. Students admitted for Summer will be assigned their Summer residence hall by the housing staff in mid-June.

NOTE: If you plan to live on campus for both the summer and fall/spring terms, you must complete two separate housing contracts: one for summer term and one for the Fall/Spring terms. The Fall/Spring contract fee for CARE Summer Bridge Students is $50.00.

STEP 3: Complete the CARE Participation Agreement

Next, submit your CARE Participation Agreement by May 1, 2021 to secure your place in the FSU Class of 2025. Submit this form by logging in to your Application Status Check at admissions.fsu.edu/statuscheck.

STEP 4: Orientation

CARE students all attend the same Orientation session. Orientation usually takes place one week before classes begin. CARE students do not register for Orientation. Once they complete the CARE Participation Agreement, the CARE Office will register them for the CARE Orientation. The Orientation fee is built into CARE attendance costs. Although a bill will appear on your account statement, Orientation will be automatically paid close to move-in day.

STEP 5: Submit Your Immunization Form

Before you can register for classes at orientation, you must complete our immunization form showing proof of two combined MMR vaccines and either showing proof of or completing a waiver for Hepatitis B and Meningococcal Meningitis vaccines. For information regarding our immunization requirement and to access the immunization form, visit studentinsurance.fsu.edu.

STEP 6: Submit Proof of Health Insurance

FSU requires all students to show proof of comparable health insurance coverage or to enroll in a university-sponsored health plan before registering for classes at orientation. For information on how to provide proof of health insurance coverage or information on FSU's health insurance plan, visit studentinsurance.fsu.edu.

STEP 7: Select a Meal Plan

While you are not required to purchase a meal plan, we recommend doing so. Visit Seminole Dining for information on the many dining options available to you throughout campus.

STEP 8: Complete AlcoholEdu & Sexual Assault Prevention

Florida State University invites all incoming students to complete two educational programs focused on serious issues facing students to help ensure a healthy and positive college experience. EverFi provides alcohol use and interpersonal violence (sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking, and sexual harassment) education.

Part 1 of AlcoholEdu and Part 1 of Sexual Assault Prevention are required. If this requirement is not completed, you will received a hold on your account.

For deadlines, registration information, and frequently asked questions visit AlcoholEdu & Sexual Assault Prevention.

Finalize Your Admission to Florida State

Residency Declaration Form

All students who wish to claim Florida residency for tuition purposes must complete the residency declaration form before attending orientation. If you haven't completed your form already, visit Application Status Check to complete this task.

Your Conditions of Admission

We will re-evaluate your application after we receive all of your official records. Discrepancies between official and self-reported grades and test scores can result in admission recension. If any of your senior-year grades are below a C, or your cumulative college GPA is not at least a 2.0 (for those who took college credits in high school), we may rescind your admission. For detailed information admission conditions, please see Enrollment Information found on your Application Status Check.

Self-Reported Student Academic Record (SSAR)

Update your Self-Reported Student Academic Record (SSAR) with your final, senior-year grades by logging in to the SSAR website. Submit the updates by clicking the Complete button at the bottom of the Review/Submit section. If you do not re-lock your SSAR, FSU will not receive your updated information.

Final High School, College Transcript(s), and Final Test Scores

The Office of Admissions requires an official, final high school transcript sent directly from your school to the University. If you have dual enrollment credit, you must also send an official college transcript(s). All official test scores (ACT and/or SAT) must be sent by the respective testing agency to FSU. All official transcripts and test scores must be received by July 14, 2021.
