AP/IB/AICE Scores:

If you took the test to receive AP/IB/AICE credit during high school, you must send those scores to FSU to the Office of Admissions for them to post the credit to your student account. Scores are not automatically sent from your high school. If you do not see your scores on your student account and you have already sent them, you will need to reach out to the Office of Admissions to see if they have received them, or if there is an error in processing those scores. The Office of Admissions can be reached via email at admissions@fsu.edu or via phone at 850-644-6200. You’ll need to be sure to email them from your FSU email account.

Deparmental Prerequisite Checks:

Many higher level science and math courses at FSU require prerequisite coursework. Departments such as Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics are currently running prerequisite checks for their courses to ensure that all students enrolled have the correct prerequisite coursework completed. If you have taken a course over the summer as a transient student, or have received AP credit for a course that should cover a prerequisite, but you still receive communication that you will be dropped to due non-prerequisites, you will need to reach out to that department directly and provide proof that you’ve completed the necessary prerequisite course(s). You’ll need to show them an unofficial transcript or AP/IB score report with the grade and see if they can work with you to remain in your course.

Summer 2018 Transient Students:

If you were a transient student this summer at another institution, you need to have your final transcript sent to FSU for processing. To do that, you’ll need to visit the Registrar’s office at the school you attended this summer and fill out a transcript request form. Some offices have this form online, and some require you to fill out the form in person; you’ll need to check with them to find out which you need to do. You’ll need to request that a final, official transcript is sent to FSU to the Office of Admissions. Once the FSU admissions staff receives the final transcript, they will post your final grades to your student account here at FSU.

Be sure you request a final transcript, to ensure it has your final, official grade/s. The transcript must come from the other institution for us to accept it.
