The Advising First Center for Academic Planning (CAP) works with individuals who are planning to transfer to Florida State University and have general questions about majors and the transfer process. We hope that we can assist in making your journey to becoming a Florida State University student as seamless as possible.
Below you will find some important information and resources to help you thrive as a New Nole at FSU. If you don’t find the answers you are looking for, set up an appointment with an advisor so we can further assist you. We also recommend connecting with Transfer Student Services to find out about resources and involvement opportunities, as well as connect with other transfer students when you arrive to FSU.
If you would like to speak with a Center for Academic Planning (CAP) advisor, please call 850-644-3430 to schedule an in-person or virtual appointment.
In preparation for your appointment, please review the following:
- Review the FSU admissions website to determine if you are eligible for admission to the university: http://admissions.fsu.edu/
- Please review the CoreFSU website for information on transferring coursework. The Center for Academic Planning can give general information on eligibility; however, all admissions decisions and course equivalencies are made by the departments.
- Requests for Transfer Credit Course Evaluations for General Education Requirements should be sent to the Office of Undergraduate Studies at undergraduatestudies@fsu.edu.
- Requests for Transfer Credit Course Evaluations for Graduation Requirements and Major Specific courses should be sent directly to the major that you hope to graduate with.
- Access the Academic Program Guide as a starting place for major information and requirements. Develop a list of top major choices that you are interested in and may be eligible for to discuss with your advisor.
- Send an electronic copy of your unofficial transcript to CAP at ugs-capadvising@fsu.edu. Be sure to send your transcript after you schedule an appointment.
