    • Visit FSU’s University Health Services office first to obtain your FSU immunization clearance. It is strongly recommended that you visit their office in person for this request. If you are unable to visit their office in person, please email registrar@fsu.edu for further instructions.
    • Take your FSU immunization clearance to the FAMU Student Health Services Center to obtain your FAMU immunization clearance. If you are unable to visit their office in person, please contact their office at (850) 599-3779 for further instructions.
  5. Submit your completed program registration form (with all required signatures) along with your immunization clearances from both FSU and FAMU’s student healthcare centers to the FSU Co-op representative in the Office of the University Registrar via email to registrar@fsu.edu or in person to University Center A, Suite 3900.
    • Incomplete registration forms will not be processed so be sure to submit all documents prior to the deadline. Please keep in mind it may take several days to obtain the instructor and dean’s office signatures. Students who wait until the day of the deadline to reach out to instructors and/or their deans office will not be given an extension.
  6. The FSU Co-op representative will review your paperwork and then submit the application and supporting documents to the FAMU Registrar’s Office for processing. The FAMU Registrar’s office will enroll you in your requested classes once your application has been fully processed.

Questions: FAMU students should direct their FAMU/FSU Co-op program questions to Rosa Christie at rosa.christie@famu.edu in the FAMU Registrar's Office. FSU students should contact the FSU Registrar's Office at registrar@fsu.edu with any questions or concerns.

Important Notes:

  • The process to complete the registration form may take several days as you wait to hear back from course instructors, your academic dean’s office, and the student healthcare centers. Please do wait until the week of the deadline to start the application process.
  • If any issues or questions arise with your registration, you will be contacted using the contact information provided on the Registration Form. Please report any changes to the FSU Registrar's Office.
  • Students who are returning to the FAMU co-op program are responsible for clearing any registration holds on their FAMU student account by the co-op application deadline. Returning FSU students who fail to resolve registration holds on their FAMU iRattler account by the co-op deadline will not be enrolled in their requested courses.
  • The submission of a FAMU co-op registration form is not a guarantee of enrollment. Seats in courses are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Do not alter your co-op registration form after obtaining the required signatures from the course instructor and academic dean. All drops and adds must be done through our office. If you are an FSU student, please contact the FSU Co-op representative in the Registrar's Office to drop any classes you are taking at FAMU. The deadlines for dropping and adding follow the University drop/add schedule.*
  • Co-op students must maintain an FSU cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher to remain eligible to participate in the co-op program.
  • Students taking courses at the host university on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U) basis will be held to the home institution's policies regarding the total number of courses allowed on an S/U basis or in a specific degree or major. Students are encouraged to consult their academic advisor about any limitations prior to registration.
