side-by-side comparisons of different majors that have similar courses, qualities, or career options by visiting academic-guide.fsu.edu/major_comparisons.html. For the most up-to-date listings of undergraduate programs, combined degree programs, majors, and major requirements, please refer to academic-guide.fsu.edu.3The ProcessTransferring to FSUEach year, we enroll approximately 3,000 transfer students. The majority of our students come to us from the Florida College System and most will have completed their Associate in Arts degree. However, we accept transfer students from all regionally accredited institutions at all levels. We encourage you to apply at least six-to-nine months prior to the term you wish to enter. The Application Status Check allows you to regularly monitor the status of your application. Most of our communications, including our admission decisions, will be available on the Application Status Check. You're responsible for regularly checking your email account and the Application Status Check. Please ensure that we always have your most up-to-date email address, and include admissions@fsu.edu in your address book. yReview the transfer-admission requirements below. yApply online at admissions.fsu.edu/undergradapp. ySubmit official high school and all college/university transcripts (sent directly from each institution). College coursework from a non-U.S. institution must be evaluated by a Foreign Credential Evaluation Agency. ySubmit all official ACT (#0734) and/or SAT (#5219) test scores. We recommend that junior and senior transfer applicants also submit test scores. ySubmit all AICE, AP, IB, or CLEP results if you have earned college credit through one of these accelerated mechanisms. yDetermine if the major/program of interest has a different application deadline and/or additional admission criteria, e.g., prerequisites, audition, portfolio, etc., at the Academic Guide (academic-guide.fsu.edu). ySubmit a personal statement if you will have attempted 90+ hours of college credit (admissions.fsu.edu/StatusCheck). See details below under Satisfactory Academic Progress. yComplete the Residency Declaration for tuition purposes form found at admissions.fsu.edu/residency. Transfer admission is a holistic and selective process, and no single criterion guarantees admission. Rather, we consider all of the information submitted, and we carefully review your academic record to ensure you are prepared for the academic rigor you will encounter at Florida State University. The more college credit earned after high school graduation, the less we focus on your high school performance. Some colleges and departments limit the number of students they admit to their programs; thus, your intended major could factor into our admission decision. Satisfactory Academic Progress and Excess Credit Hour SurchargeAll transfer applicants must have demonstrated satisfactory academic progress. Applicants who will have attempted 90+ semester hours of college credit (including withdrawals and repeated courses) before enrolling at Florida State University must submit a personal statement to admissions@fsu.edu. The statement must address the reason(s) for transferring to FSU this late in the academic program and should also include a plan for a timely graduation.Typically, students will be charged double the tuition rate for each credit hour beyond 132 hours for a normal 120-semester hour degree program (see page six for details). General University Requirements4Freshman and Sophomore Applicants (12–59 Hours)Freshman and sophomore applicants (12-59 semester hours of transferable credit after high school graduation as determined by the Office of Admissions) must: yHave a strong academic high school profile that indicates success at the college level. Very few students with less than a 3.0 high school academic GPA will be admissible. yHave a minimum GPA of 2.0 on all attempted college courses. In calculating your GPA, we use all attempted courses (including Ds, Fs, and WFs) from every college you have attended. If a course is repeated, we will use both grades. NOTE: The best indication of your potential academic success at Florida State University is your calculated transfer GPA. Very few students with less than a 3.0 calculated GPA will be admitted. yBe in good academic standing and have at least a 2.0 calculated GPA on all coursework attempted at your last institution. yOther factors taken into consideration include the number of credit hours taken each semester (we prefer 15 credit hours each semester) and the types of college classes taken each term.Junior and senior applicants (60+ semester hours of transferable credit as determined by the Office of Admissions) must: yHave a minimum GPA of 2.0 on all attempted college courses. In calculating your GPA, we use all attempted courses (including Ds, Fs, and WFs) from every college you have attended. If a course is repeated, we will use both grades. NOTE: The best indication of your potential academic success at Florida State University is your calculated transfer GPA. Very few students with less than a 3.0 calculated GPA will be admitted. yBe in good academic standing and have at least a 2.0 calculated GPA on all coursework attempted at your last institution.Applicants who have received an Associate of Arts (AA) degree from a Florida public institution immediately prior to transferring receive priority consideration for admission, provided the application and all supporting documents are received in the Office of Admissions by the deadline.NOTE: Applicants who graduate from high school and who will receive an AA degree at the same time must meet the freshman admission requirements AND the major requirements (see the Academic Guide at academic-guide.fsu.edu) when submitting the admission application. If this applies to you, then you must submit a freshman application. Junior and Senior Applicants (60+ Hours) Associate of Arts (AA) DegreeWorld Language Admission RequirementAll transfer applicants must have satisfied the state of Florida’s world language admission requirement at either the high school or college level. At the high school level, students must have earned two sequential units of high school credit in one world language (e.g. Spanish I and Spanish II) or American Sign Language. At the college level, students must have completed through the second elementary/beginning course of one world language or American Sign Language (or documented equivalent proficiency). College-Level Proficiency Skills in English and MathematicsAll transfer applicants must have demonstrated college-level proficiency in English and mathematics. You can demonstrate proficiency by having a minimum of three semester hours of approved college-level English composition and a minimum of three semester hours of approved college-level mathematics with no grade below “C”. Please be aware that many majors will require that you complete six credit hours in each of these areas (depending on the amount of transfer credit you will have earned before enrolling at FSU). Detailed information about specific admission criteria by major can be found in the Academic Program Guide (academic-guide.fsu.edu).5All transfer applicants must select a major. In addition to meeting general University require-ments, you must also meet the criteria established for admission to your selected major. The Academic Program Guide (academic-guide.fsu.edu) provides a detailed program description, an academic map, and a link to your major/program of interest. Because major requirements often include specific course requirements, it is crucial that you provide us with all AP, IB, AICE, or CLEP exam results so that we have a complete record of all the course credit you have earned.In 2009, the Florida Legislature implemented a new law (Section 1009.286, FS) to encourage students who enroll in a state university to complete the baccalaureate degree program as efficiently as possible. It established what is commonly referred to as an "Excess Credit Hour Surcharge" by charging an additional student payment to those students who do not complete the baccalaureate degree in a timely fashion. Accelerated coursework (AICE, AP, IB, CLEP, and dual enrollment) taken while in high school are not calculated in this hour count. For more information on the excess credit-hour surcharge, please refer to the Registrar's Office. Visit registrar.fsu.edu for more information. yAccounting yAthletic Training yCommunication yCommunication Science and Disorders yComputer Science yDance yDietetics yEconomics yElementary Education ySpecial Education yFinance yHospitality Management yInterior Design yManagement yManagement Information Systems yMarketing yMotion Picture Arts yMusic Education yMusic, Liberal Arts yMusic Performance yMusic Theory and Composition yMusic Therapy yNursing yPsychology yReal Estate yRisk Management/Insurance ySocial Work ySport Management yStudio Art (BFA) yTheatre yVisual DisabilitiesA limited-access program utilizes selective admission to limit program enrollment. Limited-ac-cess status is justified when student demand exceeds available resources (student/faculty ratios, instructional facilities, equipment, or specific accrediting requirements). Criteria for selective admission include indicators of talent, performance, creativity, or ability to complete the program’s required work. Admission to such programs is governed by the Articulation Agreement and the State Board of Education administrative rules.For a number of degree programs, access is limited at the upper-division level, and those students must meet certain additional criteria. These additional criteria are applied equally to students that will have earned 52+ credit hours at the time of enrollment in FSU, AA degree transfers from Florida public institutions, and rising juniors at Florida State University.A number of different colleges offer limited-access programs. For specific admission require-ments to a particular department or college, refer to the appropriate section of the Academic Program Guide (academic-guide.fsu.edu).
