General Information
Florida State University encourages applications for admission from qualified students regardless of gender, culture, race, religion, ethnic background, national origin, age, or disability. Admission of students to Florida State University is within the jurisdiction of the University, but subject to minimum standards adopted by the State Board of Education within the State of Florida, Division of Colleges and Universities. Preference for admission for any term will be given to those applicants whose credentials indicate the greatest promise of academic success in their chosen program of study.
An application for admission may be obtained online at http://admissions.fsu.edu/online.html.
An application should not be submitted earlier than one year prior to the term for which admission is desired. The Office of Admissions reserves the right to return all applications received after the published deadline for a particular term or after any enrollment limit or program limit is reached.
Admission is for a specific term. If the student is unable to enroll for the term indicated in the letter of admission, the Office of Admissions should be informed immediately, as admission is not automatically deferred to a future term.
Offers of admission to the University are often contingent upon the subsequent receipt of official college or university transcripts indicating satisfactory performance and verification of baccalaureate and master's degrees. Failure to submit such documents before the end of the second week of the initial academic term may result in the cancellation of admission and registration.
An application or residency statement submitted by or on behalf of a student that contains false, fraudulent, or incomplete statements may result in denial of admission or denial of further registration and/or invalidation of Florida State University credit and related degrees.
Every accepted student must complete in its entirety the student health history form, included in the admission packet and found online at http://www.tshc.fsu.edu. The form must be forwarded to the Thagard Student Health Center prior to registration. Florida State University reserves the right to cancel the admission or readmission of any applicant whose health record indicates the existence of a condition that may be harmful to members of the University community. Effective Fall term, 2007, all students will be required to provide proof of adequate health insurance coverage.
Required Documents
Applicants for graduate admission must submit the following:
Application for Admission
The completed application for admission and a nonrefundable $30.00 (U.S. currency) processing fee payable to Florida State University should be submitted to the Office of Admissions by the appropriate deadline specified below. If payment is by check or money order, only those checks drawn on U.S. banks or money orders that can be cashed at U.S. banks are acceptable. An application will not be processed without the application fee, and there are no provisions to waive or postpone this fee. The final deadlines for applications and supporting documents for all graduate applicants are:
| Desired Term | Application and Document Deadline |
| Fall | July 1 |
| Spring | November 1 |
| Summer | March 1 |
College Transcripts
Two (2) official transcripts from each college and university attended must be submitted to the Office of Admissions. Transcripts are considered official when they are sent directly from a college or university to the Office of Admissions and contain an official seal and/or signature. Transcripts bearing the statement "issued to student" or transcripts submitted by the applicant are not considered official.
Original documents or signed, officially certified photocopies of original documents may be submitted by the student only when institutions outside the United States will not send academic records to other institutions. The verifying signature should be that of an officer of the institution attended. All academic records that are not in English must be accompanied by certified English translations.
Test Scores
Official test results from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are required of all applicants except those students requesting admission to the College of Business. Official test scores from the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) are required of all applicants for the College of Business. The GRE or GMAT scores are considered official only when they are sent directly to the Office of Admissions from the testing agency. Examinee copies are not considered official.
International applicants whose native language is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). TOEFL scores are considered official only when they are sent directly to the Office of Admissions from the testing agency. Examinee copies are not considered official.
Departmental Requirements
All applicants should contact their academic departments for specific deadline dates and other possible departmental requirements, such as departmental application, statement of purpose (letter of intent), résumé or curriculum vitae, letters of recommendation, audition or portfolio, and application for fellowship or assistantship. These supplemental documents should be sent directly to the academic department.
Certification of Finances (International Applicants)
The University is required by immigration authorities to verify the financial resources of each applicant prior to issuing the Form I-20 or DS-2019; therefore, it is important that the applicant knows the costs of attending the University and has the necessary support funds for the entire period of enrollment.
The Certification of Financial Responsibility form must be completed, signed by the sponsor, and verified by the sponsor's bank or financial institution. The total amount of funds available to the student must be listed for each year and must equal the total estimate of institutional costs and living expenses. All questions on the Certification of Financial Responsibility form must be accurately answered to avoid unnecessary delay in processing.
Admission Policies
Admission to graduate study involves acceptance to the department or school in which the applicant expects to study. Final admission to the University is subject to approval by the Office of Admissions. While there are minimum University admission requirements, established by the State Board of Education within the State of Florida, Division of Colleges and Universities, the departments can, and frequently do, exceed those standards. It is recommended the student determine departmental requirements first.
In order to meet minimum University admission requirements, the applicant must have, or be a candidate for, a baccalaureate degree or equivalent from a regionally accredited institution and meet at least one of the following criteria: 1) have earned a minimum 3.0 (on a 4.0 grading scale) grade point average in all work attempted while registered as an upper-division student working toward a baccalaureate degree, or 2) have earned a minimum score of 1000 on the combined verbal and quantitative portions of the GRE or a minimum score of 470 on the GMAT (College of Business applicants only), or 3) have earned a graduate degree from a regionally accredited institution. A student who is not in good standing at the last institution attended will not be admitted for graduate study.
An applicant who has not graduated from a regionally-accredited institution may be considered for admission as a provisional graduate student. For information on provisional graduate status, see the subsection on 'Provisional Graduate Students' in this chapter.
International applicants whose native language is not English are required to have a minimum score of 550 on the paper-based, 213 on the computer-based, or 80 on the Internet-based TOEFL examination. Some departments require a higher score. International students expecting to receive appointments as teaching assistants are required to pass a test of spoken English as well.
Teacher Education Programs
Section 1004.04, Florida Statutes, Public Accountability and State Approval for Teacher Preparation Programs and State Board of Education Rule 6A-5.066 require that all students seeking admission into graduate teacher education programs at Florida State University must achieve a score of 1000 on the combined verbal and quantitative portions of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) or pass all sections of the Florida CLAST (waivers or other alternative means of meeting this requirement are not acceptable), or pass the General Knowledge Test.
All students planning to pursue a teacher education program at Florida State University must be formally admitted to teacher education. Admission to the teacher education program is administered by the Dean of Education and assigned to the Office of Academic Services, 108 Stone Building. Admission to teacher education is distinct from admission to a college in that students must meet State of Florida admission criteria. For details on the criteria for admission to teacher education, the student should refer to the 'Planning Guide to Teacher Education Programs' section in the "College of Education" chapter of this Graduate Bulletin.
Total program length for state-approved teacher preparation programs are subject to revision based on changes in Section 1004.04, Florida Statutes, Public Accountability and State Approval for Teacher Preparation Programs and State Board of Education Rule 6A-5.066, Approval of Pre-service Teacher Preparation Programs.
Provisional Graduate Students
A student who has filed an application for admission to a graduate degree program, but who has not been admitted as a regular graduate student, may, under certain conditions, be admitted as a provisional graduate student with the consent of the department chair. The Office of Admissions will notify the student by letter of acceptance in this category, and will outline the conditions of admission that must be met while in this classification. The student will be admitted to the appropriate major and division and will register in the same manner as a degree-seeking student. Under no circumstances will the student remain in the provisional classification for more than one semester.
A provisional graduate student who meets the minimum admission requirements of the State Board of Education may be changed to regular graduate status upon request by the department chair for the following semester or a future semester. A provisional graduate student who does not meet the State Board of Education requirements must have taken at least nine (9) semester hours of graduate-level course work (excluding S/U courses) during the semester on provisional status and must have earned a 3.0 average on all graduate work in order to be admitted to regular graduate status. Upon regular admission the applicant will be counted as an exception.
A provisional graduate student is subject to the retention and dismissal regulations appropriate to a regular graduate student. If a provisional student is changed to a special (non-degree seeking) student after incurring probationary status, the permanent record will retain the probationary status statement, but the student will not be subject to further retention review as a provisional student.
A provisional graduate student who is changed to special student status and subsequently seeks admission to regular graduate status must comply with the policies established for special students who change to regular graduate student status. For information on the special student classification, see the subsection on 'Special (Non-Degree Seeking) Students' in this chapter.
Graduate work taken while in provisional status will apply automatically toward the student's graduate program if the student changes directly from provisional student classification to regular student classification, unless the academic dean directs to the contrary. Graduate work taken by a provisional graduate student who changes to a special student classification shall be considered as acquired while in special student status. The subsequent transfer of such credit to a graduate degree program shall be subject to the policies of reclassification from special student to regular student status.
The files of provisional graduate students remain in the Office of Admissions until the student is changed to regular graduate or post-baccalaureate special classification, or until the student is denied regular admission. All classification questions should be directed to the Office of Admissions.
Readmission
Returning graduate degree-seeking students who 1) have been absent from the University for two or more consecutive terms (including summer); 2) have been dismissed from the University and have been absent for two or more consecutive terms (including summer); 3) have withdrawn from the University and have been absent for two or more consecutive terms (including summer); 4) have earned a graduate degree from the University and wish to enroll in a second graduate program; or 5) have had their last term of enrollment at the University administratively cancelled and have been absent for two or more consecutive terms (including summer), must submit an application for readmission to the readmissions section of the Office of Admissions. Readmitted former students are subject to retention requirements in effect at the time of reentrance. In addition, students claiming Florida residency must reestablish their eligibility for this classification when applying for readmission.
Students who have attempted college work (including correspondence work) at any college or university since their last enrollment at Florida State University must have official transcripts sent to the readmissions section of the Office of Admissions. Transcripts are considered official when they are sent directly from a college or university to the Office of Admissions and contain an official seal and/or signature. Transcripts bearing the statement "Issued to Student" or transcripts submitted by the applicant are not considered official.
Returning graduate degree-seeking students who have been absent from the University for seven or more years or former provisional graduate students must make application to the Office of Admissions, according to the procedures prescribed for new admission.
The readmission application and all supporting documents should be submitted at least two (2) months prior to the beginning of the term for which readmission is desired. (Consult the "University Calendar" chapter of this General Bulletin for specific deadlines.)
Admission/Readmission Appeal Procedure
Applicants to graduate programs who meet minimum standards of admission to the State of Florida, Division of Colleges and Universities system and who are denied admission or readmission to a graduate program may request reconsideration of their applications. The following procedures shall apply for all applicants who seek review of an admission or readmission decision:
- Written requests for reconsideration must be received by the Office of Graduate Studies within thirty (30) days of the date of the letter of denial. Specific reasons for the request must be included and supporting evidence, in writing, should be included with the request.
- The Office of Graduate Studies shall forward the request for reconsideration to the appropriate academic department within three (3) working days.
- The request for reconsideration shall be reviewed by a standing committee of the appropriate academic department. This committee shall be composed of members of the graduate faculty and at least one graduate student. The committee shall review the request for reconsideration within thirty (30) days of receipt of the request by the academic department. Decisions by the committee shall be immediately forwarded to the Office of Graduate Studies, and the Office of Graduate Studies shall notify the applicant of the decision within seven (7) days of the committee's decision. This decision shall be final, and there shall be no further appeals.
Applicants to graduate programs who do not meet minimum standards of admission to the State of Florida, Division of Colleges and Universities system and who are denied admission to a graduate program may request reconsideration of their applications. A limited number of admission exceptions are available at the discretion of the academic dean having jurisdiction over the program of study. Any appeal for admission by exception should be made directly to that academic dean.
Applicants who are denied admission or readmission to the University for judicial reasons may appeal by filing a written petition to the Office of Admissions.
Readmission After Multiple Withdrawals
When a student has withdrawn from the University three (3) or more times, subsequent readmission will first be considered by a committee whose charge is to assess the student's capability of making satisfactory progress toward the degree. This committee, appointed by the Council of Associate and Assistant Deans, will make a recommendation to the dean of the student's college, who will make the final decision.
Second Graduate Program
A student who has completed one graduate degree program at Florida State University must secure the approval of the proposed department before undertaking a second graduate program. Readmission is through the Office of Admissions. Work taken without such approval will not count toward a graduate degree.
Special (Non-Degree Seeking) Students
A special student is a classification assigned to a non-degree-seeking student for registration privileges. Admission as a special student is subject to approval and may be open to post-baccalaureate students for either undergraduate or graduate course work provided the student is in good academic standing at the last attended institution. Applicants who have been denied admission as a degree-seeking student or who missed the deadline for submitting a degree-seeking application will not be considered for admission as a special student.
The completed special student application must be accompanied by a $30.00 nonrefundable application fee, payable to Florida State University, and all supporting documents. Special student applications should be submitted for consideration one semester prior to the desired term of enrollment. Deadline dates are two (2) months prior to the beginning of each term. (Consult the "University Calendar" chapter of this Graduate Bulletin for specific application deadlines.) The Special Student section in the Office of Admissions reserves the right to return all applications received after the published deadline for a particular term or after any enrollment limit is reached.
A special student at Florida State University who subsequently decides to pursue a degree must apply for admission through the Office of Admissions. The student may be reclassified as a regular graduate student upon meeting regular graduate admission requirements. Enrollment as a special (non-degree-seeking) student does not guarantee admission to a graduate program.
Work taken as a special student does not automatically carry graduate degree credit; however, if the work is taken within the time limits prescribed by the degree program and approved by the department chair and dean, up to twelve (12) hours of graduate-level credit with a grade of "B" or better in each course may count toward the degree, provided the student qualifies for admission to a graduate degree program.
The University generally does not issue I-20 or DS-2019 visa documents for international special students. At the request of a department, the University will provide a visa document for special students who are accepted for full-time enrollment in a certificate program. The department must contact the International Center (http://www.ic.fsu.edu), and the student must provide evidence of financial support and other information required by the United States government. In addition, the student must purchase or provide proof of health insurance coverage prior to enrollment. Foreign nationals on a student visa may not use the special student status other than to fulfill prerequisite requirements or for summer enrollment if full-time status has been maintained during the academic year.
All registration by special students is on a space-available basis and, in some cases, may require departmental approval. For more complete details, see the "Academic Regulations and Procedures" chapter of this Graduate Bulletin.
Transient Graduate Students
A graduate student seeking a degree from a university other than Florida State University may register for course work at the graduate level as a transient student. Transient students must receive prior approval from their graduate deans for the courses to be taken for transfer to their home institutions. The transient application, with approved signatures, must be submitted to the Office of Admissions. Transient applications can be found at http://www.admissions.fsu.edu.
Postdoctoral Students
A postdoctoral student may register for course work upon request of the department in which courses are to be taken. The postdoctoral forms, available through the Office of Admissions, will be signed by the departmental chair and sent to the Dean of Graduate Studies for postdoctoral registration approval. Registration is through the Special Students section of the Office of Admissions. While no application fee, transcripts, or GRE scores are required, tuition and fees must be paid.
Traveling Scholar Program
The University participates in a traveling scholar program that enables a graduate student to take advantage of special resources available on another campus but not available on the home campus, such as special course offerings, research opportunities, unique laboratories, and library collections.
A traveling scholar's graduate adviser will approach an appropriate faculty member at the proposed host institution and recommend the scholar for a visiting arrangement. After agreement by the student's adviser and the faculty member at the host institution, graduate deans of both institutions will be fully informed by the adviser and have the power to approve or disapprove. A student will register at the host institution and will pay tuition and/or registration fees according to fee schedules established at that institution. Credit for the work taken will be recorded at the home university.
Each university retains its full right to accept or reject any student who wishes to study under its auspices. A traveling scholar will normally be limited to one term on the campus of the host institution. A traveling scholar accepted by the host institution will be regarded as being registered at that institution for the period.
A traveling scholar is not entitled to displacement allowance, mileage, or per diem payments. The home university, however, may at its option continue its financial support of the traveling scholar in the form of a fellowship or graduate assistantship with any work obligation to be discharged either at the home or at the host institution.
Academic Common Market
The academic common market is an interstate agreement among southern states for sharing academic programs. Participating states enable their residents who qualify for admission to enroll in specific graduate programs in other states on an in-state tuition basis. Arrangements traditionally are limited to unusual programs or programs not offered within the state of residence. To enroll as an academic common market student, an applicant must obtain certification from the common market coordinator in the student's home state. Students must be admitted to the appropriate degree program by the Office of Admissions, and the letter of certification must be received in the Office of the University Registrar before the first day of classes for the effective term. For information on the state's authorization of programs or on the identity of the coordinator for a particular state, contact the Office of the University Registrar or Southern Regional Educational Board, 592 Tenth Street N.W., Atlanta, GA 30318-5790; (404) 875-9211. For information about Florida State University programs participating in the Academic Common Market, contact the Office of the Dean of the Faculties, 314 Westcott, (850) 644-6876.
Cooperative Programs in the State of Florida, Division of Colleges and Universities
Cooperative graduate degree programs may be established in which the faculties of two or more of the universities within the State of Florida, Division of Colleges and Universities system join in offering a degree program in a particular discipline. The degree is given by the university authorized by the State Board of Education to offer it, but course work and faculty participation within agreed upon limits can occur on the campus of either or any of the participating universities. For information on possibilities in a particular discipline, students should contact the academic department.
International Applicants
Notice of Admission
Formal notification of admission to Florida State University is sent by the Office of Admissions and is for a specific term. The International Center will issue the appropriate immigration form (Form I-20 or DS-2019) necessary to obtain the student's visa when formal admission is granted and all required financial documentation is received.
If the student is unable to enroll for the term indicated in the notice of admission, the Office of Admissions should be informed immediately. If the student wishes to be reconsidered for a different term, the Office of Admissions must be advised in writing. The student also must notify the International Center of any changes by e-mail at ICAdmissions@admin.fsu.edu or by faxing a letter to (850) 645-2112.
Finances
Before a United States Consul will grant a visa, international applicants must prove that they will have sufficient funding to meet all of their expenses while studying in the United States. Applicants must explain the source of funds noted on their I-20 or DS-2019 form, and guarantee that they will receive funding for the duration of the program. Unless applicants show written evidence of having financial support for the entire time required to complete the degree program, they will not be granted a student visa.
If the student's government limits the amount of money that can be sent to students in the United States, the applicant should make sure that sufficient funds will be available. When applicants leave their country, they must have enough money to pay for traveling expenses to the University, fees for the entire term, living expenses until more money arrives, and the return fare to their home country. Students must be sure that they will have sufficient financial resources to cover all costs during their stay at the University. If the applicant's government requires verification of enrollment before money can be forwarded, the student may request verification from the Office of the University Registrar after registration is completed at the University.
A number of international students arrive at the University without being aware of the amount of money they will need. On-campus employment opportunities are limited, and most international students are not permitted to work off campus except under special circumstances. Each year, many students find themselves in serious financial difficulties because they did not arrange for adequate support. Before making firm plans to come to the United States, international applicants should read the following sections carefully.
The costs given are estimated minima and are subject to change. Students should have access to approximately half of the estimated total yearly amount at the beginning of each semester, since University fees must be paid upon registration at the start of each term. Students should also be prepared for initial expenses such as housing deposits, insurance, utilities, etc. The following estimates are based on one academic year (two semesters—Fall and Spring) and are for unmarried students with no dependents. Additional funds must be included for spouse or family ($5,000 for spouse and $3,000 for each child per year). Only a spouse and children may be classified as dependents. Biographical data must be provided for each family member accompanying the student to the United States. The data should include complete name, date of birth, gender, city of birth, country of birth, country of citizenship, country of permanent residence, and relationship to student (wife/husband, son, or daughter).
| Registration Fees and Out-of-State Tuition* | $15,732 |
| Books and Supplies | 1,000 |
| Room and Board** | 10,272 |
| Insurance*** | 1,483 |
| Total | $28,487 |
*Graduate tuition and fees are based on two terms at 2006–2007 tuition rates. Students must register for a minimum of nine (9) hours each semester, unless their individual department requires more.
**On-campus housing only. Off-campus housing costs are considerably higher.
***The insurance rate used to compute costs is based on the rates for those 25 years and younger. For rates specific to age bracket, refer to http://www.ic.fsu.edu/. Prospective and new students should refer to "Applying to FSU."
Note: International applicants are encouraged to visit the Web site http://admissions.fsu.edu/intl/costs.htm for current costs.
Passports and Visas
International applicants need a current passport from their own government and a visa from the United States Embassy/Consulate to enter the United States. Applicants should apply for a passport as soon as possible, although in some countries it will be necessary to provide proof of admission to a United States school before a passport is granted.
Students already in possession of a passport must make sure it will remain valid for six months from the date they plan to enter the United States. It would also be prudent for students to check with the Embassy or Consulate of their native country to find out how passports are renewed while in the U.S. In some cases, students may need to get an extension of validity from their home country.
Before applying for a visa, all new F-1 and J-1 applicants must first pay a Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) fee of $100.00. Instructions and online payment are available at https://www.fmjfee.com/index.jhtml. Detailed information is available on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Web site at http://www.ice.gov/sevis/index.htm, or the International Center Web site at http://www.ic.fsu.edu.
Federal policy requires that all applicants for U.S. visas have a personal interview with a consular officer and that certain categories of applicants undergo a security clearance. More information on travel to the U.S. can be found in the International Center Pre-Arrival brochure, which is mailed with the I-20 or DS-2019. The brochure is also available on the International Center Web site. If students are coming to the University specifically for the purpose of studying, they need to apply for a Student Visa (F-1 or J-1). It is granted upon presentation of a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20 for the F-1 visa and Form DS-2019 for the J-1 visa that is typically granted to government-funded students) and proof that sufficient financial support to cover all expenses for the entire period of study in the United States is available. Graduate students holding F-1 or J-1 visas are normally required to carry from nine (9) to twelve (12) semester hours each semester, depending on the requirements of their department and the terms of any teaching or research assistantship.
Health Insurance Requirement
The University's Thagard Student Health Center provides basic outpatient care. Because students are likely to incur costs for medical care beyond that provided through outpatient services, adequate health insurance coverage must be obtained before they will be permitted to register for classes or to continue enrollment. In addition, international students with "J" visa status who will be accompanied by dependents are required by federal regulations to purchase health insurance coverage for them. For more information regarding health insurance, contact the Thagard Student Health Center, (850) 644-4250, http://www.tshc.fsu.edu.
International applicants are required to complete and submit a health history form that describes previous illnesses and/or surgery. If students have ever had tuberculosis (or scars appearing on chest X rays) or other serious infectious diseases, they must have a thorough medical examination made before coming to the University, and must bring the report to campus. International applicants must be immunized, and must show proof of such immunization prior to registration. Students will not be allowed to enroll until they have submitted the health history form and have purchased insurance or provided proof of health insurance that meets the minimum coverage required by the state of Florida.
Intensive English Program
English is the language of instruction and communication at the University. International applicants who lack sufficient English language preparation must correct this deficiency before being admitted to the University. Students may do this in their home country or in the United States at a school that offers an intensive English language program. Florida State University offers such a program through the Center for Intensive English Studies. Detailed information on the center may be obtained at http://www.cies.fsu.edu.
Admission to the Center for Intensive English Studies does not in any way imply that admission to Florida State University will be approved.
International Center
Upon arrival at FSU, international students must immediately check in with the International Center, have their immigration documents copied, and receive an orientation packet. In addition to the International Student Orientation, the Office of Graduate Studies and most departments hold orientation sessions for new graduate students the week before classes start. (Incoming international students are not allowed to register until they arrive in Tallahassee, present their immigration documents to the International Center, attend the International Student Orientation, obtain health insurance coverage, and submit their medical health history form to the Thagard Student Health Center.)
New federal reporting requirements make it essential for international students to enroll in a full course of study, stay in close communication with the international student adviser, and report any changes in their program of study, such as changes in enrollment (dropping a class, withdrawing from the University, etc.), degree level, or major. It is essential that international students maintain their immigration status while in the United States and consult an international student adviser for any questions. For information about regulations that govern both F and J visas, benefits available to F and J students, online forms, and a checklist of rules to remember, international students should refer to the International Center Web site at http://www.ic.fsu.edu/.
Panama City Campus Admissions
The same policies, procedures, and requirements that pertain to the Tallahassee campus apply to the Panama City campus. Admission information can be obtained from: Office of Admissions, Florida State University, 4750 Collegiate Drive, Panama City, FL 32405-1099 or at the following Web site: http://www.pc.fsu.edu.
