Graduate Admissions Manual 2013-2014 The Application Process

Graduate Admissions Manual
2013-2014
The Application Process
The graduate application is available online at https://admissions.fsu.edu/gradapp/. Returning
graduate students complete the same application as new graduate applicants.
To complete the application process in the Office of Admissions, applicants must submit the
following:
Transcripts
 One official transcript from each college or university attended. FSU transcripts or
official transcripts already on file will be obtained by the Office of Admissions. Transfer
credit posted on the records of other institutions is not accepted in lieu of transcripts
from the original institutions. Transcripts are considered official when they bear an
official seal and signature and are sent from the issuing college or university directly to
FSU.
 Transcripts uploaded as supporting documents are NOT official. You may use the
transcript(s) in your admission process but the applicant still must submit official
transcripts to the Admissions Office.
Test Scores
 All applicants must submit test scores from a nationally standardized graduate
admissions test, such as the General Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE),
the Miller Analogies Test (MAT), the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), or
an equivalent that is acceptable for the program to which the applicant is applying.
 Test scores are considered official when they are sent directly from the testing agency.
The use of old test scores is at the discretion of the academic program, as long as
official copies can be forwarded from the testing agency or verified by another official
source (i.e., a former institution).
 International applicants whose first language is not English must take an English
language proficiency exam, such as the Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), the Michigan
English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB) or the Pearson Test of English (PTE).
These scores are considered official only when they are sent directly to our office from
the testing agency.
Residency documentation, applicable for domestic students only
 A completed residency affidavit is required for all students on each new admission.
This would include an undergraduate who graduated in April and was coded as a
Florida resident but now is applying as a graduate student for Fall. Residency status
automatically defaults to non-Florida until a new affidavit is received and reviewed. The
residency form can be completed and submitted online.
International applicants follow the same process as above with the addition of the following:



All academic records that are not in English must be accompanied by a certified English
translation.
Submit official English Proficiency test scores if their native language is not English.
Submit the Certification of Financial Responsibility Form to the Center for Global
Engagement (CGE).
Applicants must complete the application online. The submitted application will show on
NWRDC the next business day unless the application was submitted on Friday, Saturday, or
Sunday. Those applications will show on NWRDC on the following Tuesday. Upon submission
of the application, the applicant receives an acknowledgement confirming that FSU has
received the application. The acknowledgement includes information on where and how to pay
the application fee and includes a special message if a judicial question was answered with a
“yes”. Every two weeks, up to 3 times, the applicant will receive a fee reminder, if applicable.
If an error occurs in the application preventing it from posting to NWRDC (multiple applications
submitted, odd postal addresses, etc), an error report is worked daily to correct the problem.
The application will be loaded into NWRDC during the next nightly process.
The application cannot be processed without a fee payment and Admissions does not waive or
defer the fee except for participants in designated sponsored programs such as McKnight and
McNair.
The Online Status Check allows applicants to check for the receipt of test scores and
transcripts required by the Admissions Office, as well as checking the current status of the
application. To access the Online Status Check, applicants will go to
https://admissions.fsu.edu/statuscheck. They login with their FSUID and password.
Applicants who wish to submit another application (i.e., for a second degree program or for
another term) must create a new application. Beginning July 1 every time an applicant submits
an application, an application fee must be paid (graduate and non-degree). A new application
fee will not be assessed for readmission application. Admission is term specific and is not
deferred to a future term.
Academic departments enter close dates, change terms and locations, number and type of
supporting documents, recommendations required, and additional descriptive text for each
degree offered using the Department Information Editor Tool (DSR). The link to the DSR is
found at www.admissions.fsu.edu/gradrep/
University Admission Policies
Admission to graduate study involves acceptance to the department or college in which the
applicant expects to earn a degree. Final admission to the University is subject to approval by
the Office of Admissions. While there are minimum admission requirements established by the
Florida Board of Governors, the University can elect to exceed them.
In order to meet minimum University admission requirements, the applicant must have:
 A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution, or a comparable
degree from an international institution, with a minimum 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) grade point
average (GPA) in all work attempted while registered as an upper-division
undergraduate student working toward a bachelor’s degree, OR a graduate degree from
a regionally accredited U.S. institution or a comparable degree from an international
institution.
o An applicant who has not earned a degree from a regionally accredited U.S.
institution may be considered for admission as a provisional graduate student.
International applicants cannot be admitted as provisional due to immigration
restrictions.
 Test scores from a nationally standardized graduate admissions test which is
acceptable for the academic program to which the applicant is applying.
o In addition, International applicants whose first language is not English are
required to have a minimum score of 550 on the paper-based or 80 on the
internet-based TOEFL examination, 6.5 on the IELTS examination, or 77 on the
MELAB examination. (The minimum score on the PTE has not been determined.)
Some departments require a higher score. International students expecting to
receive appointments as teaching assistants are required to pass a test of
spoken English as well.
An applicant who is not in good standing (on probation or dismissal) at the last institution
attended will not be admitted for graduate study.
Departments may impose more restrictive admission requirements than those stated above.
Our office advises all applicants to contact the academic program directly for information on
departmental admission requirements.
Making Decisions
Accept Decisions
There are three ways to admit students to a graduate program: regular, regular by exception,
and provisional.
 Regular Admission – University admissions standards are met.
 Regular Admission by Exception – University admissions standards have not been met.
 Provisional Admission – a one term conditional admission for domestic students only.
This category may include, but not be limited to:
o Students with incomplete files (i.e., missing transcripts, test scores).
o Students who require further departmental review of performance before final
decision can be made.
o Students whose undergraduate degrees are from non-accredited institutions.
Notes on Provisional Admission:
A provisional graduate student who does not meet minimum University requirements or who
graduated from a non-accredited institution must take at least nine (9) semester hours of
graduate-level coursework (excluding S/U courses) during the semester in provisional status
and earn a 3.0 average on all graduate work. Upon regular admission, the student will be
counted as an exception since he/she never met minimum admission requirements at the
initial review.
Graduate work taken while in provisional status will automatically apply toward the student’s
graduate program if the student is admitted directly from a provisional student classification to
a regular student classification, unless the academic dean indicates otherwise.
Graduate work taken by a provisional graduate student who changes to non-degree student
classification shall be considered as acquired while in non-degree student status.
Provisional students are not eligible for graduate assistantships and international students
cannot be admitted into the provisional category.
Denied Decisions
Applicants to graduate programs who meet minimum University requirements for admission
and who are denied admission/readmission to a graduate program may request
reconsideration of their application. The following procedures shall apply for all applicants who
seek review of an admission decision:
 Written requests for reconsideration must be received by the Graduate School within
thirty (30) days of the date of the notification of denial.
 Instructions for the appeals procedure can be found in the Graduate General Bulletin.
Notification text for Denied Decisions
Dear <<Salutation>> <<Last_name>>:
The Admissions Committee for the «DWT» program in «Major» has carefully reviewed your
application for admission for the «Term» Term, «Year». We regret to inform you that the
Committee did not approve your application for admission. If you have questions regarding
this decision, please contact the academic program.
We appreciate your interest in Florida State University and wish you success in your
educational endeavors.
Conditional Offers of Admission for International Students
When a program has the desire to admit an international student who meets all the
programs requirements, except for the required GRE score and the required level of English
language proficiency, that program has the ability to offer the student Conditional
Admission.
An offer of Conditional Admission is designed for international students who want to
pursue graduate degrees at Florida State University, but who lack sufficient English skills to
earn the required TOEFL/IELTS/MELAB/PTE or GRE/GMAT scores. Academic programs
recommending an applicant for Conditional Admission can add stipulations for the
TOEFL/IELTS/MELAB/PTE and/or GRE/GMAT scores that must be met before formal
admission is granted.
Academic programs should follow their typical admissions review process to decide whether
to admit the applicant through Conditional Admission. Since these students will not have the
required English proficiency or GRE scores, it is important to review the applicants’ other
materials as soon as possible (transcript, personal statement, letters of recommendation) to
allow time for Conditional Admission and to study at the Center for Intensive English Studies
(CIES) for a year prior to formal admission to FSU and your program.
If admitted conditionally, the student will study at CIES and submit the required scores
in sufficient time to begin the graduate program within one year of being conditionally
admitted. During that year, the conditionally admitted student may NOT enroll in FSU
graduate courses, but will enroll in intensive English study at CIES. Dr. Patrick Kennell
(pkennell@fsu.edu) is the primary contact for CIES. Please note: CIES issues its own
I-20 and processes all of the immigration documents for this student coming in on an F1 (Student) Visa. Additional note: Tanya Schaad at the Center for Global engagement
should be contacted for any students coming in on a J-1 (Visiting Scholar) Visa.
Conditional Admission Process
1. The academic program elects to conditionally admit an international applicant upon a
holistic review of the application.
2. The department contacts Melanie Booker (MBooker@admin.fsu.edu) in Graduate
Admissions and informs her that it wants to offer conditional admission to the student of
interest. The department stipulates the “conditions” (test scores, etc.) that must be
included in the letter.
3. Graduate Admissions generates a Conditional Admission letter to the applicant that
includes the academic program’s stipulations (e.g., required score on the TOEFL and/or
GRE/GMAT).
4. CIES will contact the applicant and advise the applicant on how to apply to CIES. CIES
will issue the I-20 for the student.
5. The student then begins attending classes at CIES for university preparation.
6. When test score requirements are met, the student submits the official scores to
Graduate Admissions who will then process a formal offer of admission.
*Note: When advising international applicants interested in Conditional Admission, remind
them to allow at least one year between entering the CIES program and their intended entry
date for a graduate degree program. For example, if students begin English study with CIES in
Fall 2013, they would plan to apply for graduate admission for fall 2014. Conditionally admitted
students who meet an academic program’s stipulations in accordance with the terms stipulated
in the Conditional Admission letter must be formally admitted by that academic program.
If a Conditionally Admitted international student does not attain the minimum score on the
TOEFT/IELTS/MELAB/PTE and/or GRE/GMAT by the indicated deadline, the offer will be
voided by the Office of Admissions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s):
1. Is Conditional Admission the same as Formal Admission to Florida State
University?
No, not at all. This is simply a promise made by the program to the student that when/if
the student meets the “conditions” set forth by the department, the student will then be
formally admitted into FSU and the program. If the student does not meet the
conditions within one year, the offer is void and the department has no further obligation
to the student.
2. Can a department offer Conditional Admission to a student who is not on
scholarship or fully funded?
Yes, a department can offer Conditional Admission to a student who is not fully funded.
3. Can a department offer Conditional Admission to a student who is already at
CIES?
Yes, as long as the student meets the academic requirements of the department except
for the TOEFL (or other accepted English language proficiency tests) and GRE.
4. Can a department allow a conditionally admitted student to start taking classes
without an adequate TOEFL or IELTS score?
No, the student must have at least an 80 on the TOEFL or a 6.5 on the IELTS to begin
taking classes at FSU.
5. How do students interested in Conditional Admission apply to FSU?
Applicants should apply through FSU Graduate Admissions at
http://admissions.fsu.edu/graduate/.
6. What process should departments use to determine eligibility of students who
are requesting conditional admission?
Academic programs should follow their typical admissions review process in deciding
whether to offer the applicant Conditional Admission. Since many of these applicants
need intensive English training, they may not have taken the required English
proficiency (e.g., TOEFL) and/or other standardized test (e.g., GRE). In these cases, it
is important review the applicants’ other materials as soon as possible (transcript,
personal statement, letters of recommendation) to allow time for Conditional Admission
and study at CIES (a year prior to formal admission to FSU).
7. How fast can a student reach the required English language proficiency if they
attend CIES?
That depends upon many factors. The two major ones are 1.) What is their level of
English when they begin CIES? and 2.) How hard will they work at improving their
English proficiency once enrolled at CIES? A good student who begins CIES at the
beginning level will usually take one full year (3 semesters) of study before he or she is
ready to begin studies at the graduate level.

Calculating Grade Point Averages
U.S. GPA Calculations
Note: For your convenience, a GPA computation worksheet is available for your use and/or for
your applicants to use if you choose. The worksheet is available as a pdf document at
www.admissions.fsu.edu/images/pdf/gpacompworksheet.pdf.
The following is a list of general rules to be followed when computing a grade point average.








The GPA is computed on all work attempted while registered as an upper-division
student working towards a bachelor’s degree.
Non-degree student (special student) work and graduate work are not included in the
GPA calculation. Community college work, regardless of when it is taken, is never used
in computing the GPA.
o The only way an applicant can raise a bachelor’s GPA is to enroll as a second
bachelor’s degree–seeking student. All work taken toward the second bachelor’s
degree is considered upper-division.
Computation of the GPA includes the entire term in which the student attempted
his/her 60th semester hour, for all coursework (excluding community college work) from
that term until completion of the bachelor’s degree.
o Once upper-division status is determined, the GPA is calculated by dividing the
total number of quality points earned by the total number of hours attempted.
(Round the number up to the 100th, i.e. 3.57).
o Remember to scan the transcript to look for AP and CLEP credit. This may be
posted at the beginning or at the end of the transcript and it should be included
as part of the first 60 semester earned credit hours.
Round up a GPA of 2.95 through 2.99 to a 3.00.
If the GPA calculation involves two institutions on different calendars (one on the
quarter system and the other on the semester system), divide the total number of
quarter hours and the total number of quarter quality points by 1.5. This will yield a
semester hour equivalent. (Alternatively, you may multiply semester hours and
semester quality points by 1.5 to get a quarter hour equivalent).
If a student has earned a bachelor’s degree from a college or university that does not
assign traditional grades, a GPA for this student cannot be calculated and is assigned a
GPA of 9.80.
If the transcript does not come with a grading scale, use the FSU scale.
When calculating a graduate GPA for a student who has two master’s degrees, do not
combine them. Use the higher GPA of the two.
International GPA Calculations
Credits awarded by foreign institutions are not necessarily equivalent to semester credits
issued by U.S. schools. Unless a foreign transcript specifically lists the number of credits
required for the degree you cannot use a credit count to determine where the upper-division
work begins.



Begin calculations using the 5th semester or 3rd year. If this is indeterminable, the
entire transcript must be used to calculate the GPA.
Transcripts from many countries (Japan, Taiwan, and Korea) are similar to U.S.
transcripts. Make sure to use the grading scale on the individual transcript and to use
the plus and minus grades listed but do not calculate A+ as = 4.5. An A+ is still = to
4.0.
World Education Services (WES) provides a grade conversion scale for institutions to
use. Go to http://www.wes.org/gradeconversionguide/index.asp to access this guide.
China

Most Chinese transcripts list a grading scale which can range from an “A” grade of 80100, 85-100, or 90-100. Convert the upper-division numeric grades using the
institution’s grading scale and multiply by credits or hours. If no credits or hours are
listed, weigh each class equally. If there is no grading scale listed, default to the
following scale:
85-100 (A); 75-84 (B); 60-74 (C); 0-59 (F)
India

Indian transcripts vary widely in their appearance and in the grading scales used. We
are beginning to see many transcripts with grades assigned but the most common
grades or marks are expressed as percentages. Marks are generally awarded each
semester but often the very first grading period is at the end of the first year.
o Always start working the GPA at the beginning of the third year or at the 5th
semester. For those institutions not listing credits for each course, weigh each
class equally (1 credit for theory courses and ½ credit for lab courses). Use the
following grading scale:
60-100 = A; 55-59 = B+; 50-54 = B; 43-49 = C+; 35-42 = C; 0-34 = F

Study the marks sheets or transcripts to determine if a grade is based on a maximum
possible score of 100 or something different. Be sure to calculate the percentage score
based on the maximum possible, i.e., a grade of 131 out of 225 would be equal to 58%
(B+), a grade of 50 out of 100 would be equal to 50% (B) and a grade of 50 out of 75
would be equal to 66% (A).

Processing Decisions Through University Admissions
Admissions runs a decision report daily. The report lists the names of all applicants with
decisions entered by the academic program since the report was run the previous day.
The files are pulled and given to the Graduate Officer to review and process. The
Officer:
 Checks the referral screen for the academic program decision and notes any
changes entered on the comment line.
 Updates NWRDC with any changes to degree level, location, and major.
 Looks for all final transcripts and test scores.
o Note: The decision cannot be processed without test scores unless it
is a provisional admission.
 All names listed on that day’s decision report are worked by 5:00 p.m. and
passed to Word Processing.
 Word Processing enters the decision on NWRDC, checks to see if the GPA is
entered on NWRDC, and proofs the file. Files are processed and proofed
within 24 hours from the time the Graduate Officer passes the folder to Word
Processing.
 After the file is proofed, the applicant’s name is added to our communications
tool (Talisma) which activates an email to the student.
The Decision Email sent from the Office of Admissions says:
The Admissions Committee for your degree program has notified the Office of
Admissions of their decision on your application. You can learn of the decision by
accessing the Online Status Check at https://admissions.fsu.edu/StatusCheck/.
If you have questions about this decision, please contact your academic program.
Academic programs should inform all accepted applicants that formal admission is
subject to approval by the Office of Admissions. We ask that each academic program
include the following in your notification of acceptance. We also ask that you enter your
decision into NWRDC BEFORE (or at least at the same time) you send out your
notification emails/letters.
We suggest you add the following paragraph to your notification email/letter:
To view the official notification of your acceptance to the University, which includes any
conditions of admission and important enrollment information, go to the Online Status
Check at https://admissions.fsu.edu/statuscheck/.
Forms/Requests
Dual Enrollment Request Form
Initial admission to a graduate program at FSU must be to one program only. However, it is
possible for a student to work on two degrees in two different departments at the same time.
After the first semester the student may apply and be accepted to the second degree program.
The Dual Enrollment Request Form is found on Blackboard. The form should be signed by both
department heads and Deans and sent to the Dean of the Graduate School for approval. Once
approved, the Office of the Registrar will be notified of the dual registration and a dual
enrollment statement is posted to the permanent record.
Transfer Credit Form
The Evaluation and Posting Section in the Admissions Office handles posting of graduate
transfer credit. All transfer credit must be evaluated and recommended as graduate work by the
department chair and completed with grades of “B” or better. The completed form, along with
the official transcript, must be submitted to the Evaluation and Posting Section. This form is
available from our office.
Major Change Form
An enrolled student must have approval of the chair of the department in which he/she proposes
to transfer and of the academic dean of that College. The Major Change form can be found at
http://registrar.fsu.edu/services/formlist.htm/.
Changing Degree Level
If a department wishes to change the degree level (i.e., master’s to doctoral or doctoral to
master’s), they should contact their Dean’s Office who will make the change in Student Central.
Suspension of Majors and/or Degree Levels
Majors and degree programs currently available on the online application may be temporarily
suspended or deleted. Departments should contact Dr. Jennifer Buchanan, Office of the Dean
of Faculties, for the Major Request Change form.
