FAQ's for Special Visiting Students

Special Visiting students are welcome to study at FSU during any academic term. Once admitted through a simple application process, the Office of Summer School is your one-stop support center.

Special Visiting students are defined as those who are taking courses for reasons other than earning a degree, including rising high school senios with a GPA of at least 3.0.

Although you do not need permission to take summer classes at FSU, final authority regarding transferability of courses and those courses that are applicable towards a particular degree rests with your home institution. Please contact your academic advisor for assistance in securing a Course Approval or Request Permission for Course Transfer Form.
