We outlined the conditions of admission in your acceptance letter, which is visible on the Application Status Check. If you do not meet the conditions listed there, your admission may be rescinded. Please contact the Office of Admissions immediately if you think you may not meet the conditions of admission.

Claim Your FSUID

You will receive an email from FSU Information Technology Services (ITS) containing your FSUID. Your FSUID is your unique user name for access to campus systems and resources, including myFSU portal, Canvas, OMNI, campus Wi-Fi, and more. The email will also contain a unique, nine-digit EMPLID required to activate your FSUID account.

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.

Required Health Information (uhs.fsu.edu)

Healthcare Compliance Information: As a new student to our university, Florida law requires you to provide health history and immunization information to the Health Compliance Office before you can register for classes. You can find the required form at University Health Services.

Health Insurance: Florida State requires that all full-time students have health insurance. You must either enroll in the University-sponsored plan or provide proof of comparable health insurance coverage by submitting your insurance information online at University Health Services. You cannot register for classes until you meet this annual requirement.

  • To learn more about the mandatory health insurance requirement and the costs associated with the University-sponsored plan, please visit Health Compliance.
  • Check your myFSU Portal to see the status of your immunization and health insurance status. If your portal indicates a problem with either immunizations or insurance, you may contact University Health Services by email at healthcompliance@fsu.edu or phone at 850.644.3608 for further assistance.

Registration

For course registration information, please visit the University Registrar's website. Course information is obtained and registration is performed online through myFSU Portal. You will also use this site to obtain your class schedule, check your grades, print an unofficial transcript, and update your records.

FSU has a mandatory first-class-meeting attendance policy. For information about this policy, consult the Academic Regulations section on the University Registrar website.

Credit Hour Restrictions

Coursework taken as a non-degree seeking student carries no degree credit. You may apply up to 15 semester hours earned as an undergraduate, non-degree seeking student toward an undergraduate degree only with the approval of the appropriate dean upon acceptance into a degree program. You may apply up to 12 semester hours earned as a graduate, non-degree seeking student toward a graduate degree only with the approval of the appropriate department chair and dean upon acceptance into a degree program (provided that you earn a grade of "B" [3.0] or better). Non-degree seeking students must adhere to the same academic rules that apply to degree-seeking students (e.g., application deadlines, fees, drop/add, withdrawals, grading, retention policies, etc.). Students who subsequently decide to pursue a degree must apply for admission as a degree-seeking student.

Tuition Cost

You can find the most up-to-date information on the basic cost of attendance at Admissions Transfer Finances. The cost of attendance, and our net-price calculator, are available through the Office of Financial Aid website. Additionally, FSU created an FAQ to help answer many of your questions regarding how and when to pay tuition, the disbursement of financial aid, and so on. You can access the FAQ by logging on to Student Business Services. You can also find information on Tuition & Fees as well as Payment Information on the Office of Student Business Services' website.

FSUCard

The FSUCard is your official FSU ID and provides access to the libraries, buses, vending, and purchases at the FSU Bookstore and Computer Store. Visit FSUCard Services for more information on how to obtain your card and services associated with the FSUCard.

Office of Accessibility Services (OAS)

International Students

If you are an international student requiring an F-1 or J-1 visa you will be contacted by the Center for Global Engagement (CGE). They will assist you with the I-20 Application/DS-2019 process; detailed instructions will be sent to you via email upon your formal admission to Florida State University. Once you have obtained your I-20 or DS-2019, you will receive additional guidance on having your documents shipped to you. Please note that if you are transferring from another university, college, or U.S. high school you will need to complete the Transfer-In process, which will also be explained via email.
