It’s that time of the semester: class registration. Starting March 8, Florida State University students are able to view the Summer and Fall 2021 Registration Guides and search Summer/Fall 2021 course listings through myFSU. On March 15, registration for Summer and Fall 2021 begins and is staggered based on credit hours throughout the rest of the Spring semester. 

At the end of February, Florida State University announced that it will hold in-person Commencement ceremonies for its Spring 2021 graduates. In efforts to facilitate ceremonies that are COVID-19 conscious, FSU will hold 11 smaller Commencement ceremonies in order to provide a safe environment for all students, faculty and staff, and guests.

Towards the end of last year, Florida State University announced that they had adopted a new schedule for the Spring 2021 semester, which included the cancellation of the 2021 Spring Break due to COVID-19. With the cancellation of the week-long break, FSU has opted to end the Spring semester one week earlier than originally planned.

Without this break occurring in the middle of the Spring semester like normal, many students find themselves overwhelmed with Zoom fatigue, academic burnout, and stress regarding looming due dates.

March is National Nutrition Month and for Florida State University’s Center for Health Advocacy & Wellness (CHAW), they are using this month to bring attention and awareness to the importance of mindful eating and resources students can use in order to remain healthy and happy.

Recently, Florida State University has made a few changes to the Spring semester, including enrollment deadlines, spring break, and graduation dates. These changes were made with students’ best interests in mind and we want to make sure you’re updated on what you need to know regarding the upcoming Spring semester.

Gift cards. It may come as no surprise, but gift cards can be considered one of the most practical and useful gifts for college students. Families can purchase gift cards for on-campus food establishments or off-campus food establishments for their students to use once they return to their residence hall or apartment. FSU families can give students gift cards to places such as Chick-Fil-A, 4 Rivers BBQ, Starbucks, Madison Social, RedEye Coffee, and more.

As students begin to arrive back on campus in the spring for classes, new and returning students planning to live in FSU residence halls have some important information to look over prior to their move-in. 

Move-in begins on January 4 at 5 p.m. All new and returning students must sign up for a spring move-in time. Move-in appointments will begin Monday, January 4 through Tuesday, January 19.
