Steps Prior to Registration

Immunization Requirement

The board of Education immunization requirement must be met before you will be allowed to register.

• Consult the Bulletin: The bulletin provides you with course pre-requisites and course descriptions. (The undergraduate bulletin is avail­able on the web at www.pc.fsu.edu.
• Seek Academic Advising: All students (undergraduate, graduate, special and transient) should seek academic advising. Advisors are listed by program/major on the web at www.pc.fsu.edu.
• Obtain All Approvals for Special Registration Permits: Courses that are restricted to majors require departmental approval for non-majors. Directed individual study permits, modifying course credit and permission to take a graduate course as an undergraduate student are other examples of forms requiring signature approval. Allow sufficient time to obtain approval signatures.
• Know Your Registration Window: Your registration window is assigned to you by your student status and the number of credit hours you have earned toward graduation. Refer to Registration Windows link on the Registration Guide web page and find your begin date for registration. You may change your schedule as often as you wish up until the closing date of registration. Avoid a $100 late registration fee by registering before the closing date for regular registration.

Clear All Registration Stops
