Students in their second year at FSU
now have a new resource: the Second Year Initiative (SYI). SYI
is designed to assist undeclared students between the end of their
first year and the point at which they are accepted into a major
program. We do this in a variety of ways:
- Sophomore Summer Improvement
Grants: Students can apply for grants to help them attend
summer school after the first year. Whether you need to improve
your GPA, earn more credits, or both, a Sophomore Summer
Improvement Grant can help you acheive sophomore status and stay
on track to graduate in four years.
- Second-Year Advisement:
Undeclared students in good academic standing will continue to be
advised by their former Freshman Seminar instructor. Students in
academic difficulty will be advised by the SYI Coordinator.
- Career Counseling: SYI
works with Advisement and Career Services to provide guidance in
choosing careers and majors. SYI organizes other events where
second-year students can talk with advisors, faculty, and
practitioners of different professions to help students gain more
information about their career and major options.
- Sophomore Events: SYI
includes a number of events tailored to the specific needs of
second-year students. These include celebrations and recognition
of the achievements of second-year students.
- Academic Support:
Supplemental Instruction (SI) targets courses in which second-year
students typically enroll and in which they often experience
difficulty.

students, visit the University College

sophomores who started at FSU as first-time freshmen must take a
rising junior exam. Click here
