The Honors in the Major Program in the junior or senior years serves students in specific academic majors. Students are not required to declare a major until they begin their junior year. By taking Liberal Studies courses and electives throughout the University, students can find a major that interests them. See your academic advisor for more information. Transfer students are asked to contact the Honors Program about possible admission into the Program.
Admission varies depending on the number of transferred credits.
At Florida State University, the time at which a student is allowed to register for classes is based on the number of credits which the student has earned, with graduate students registering first and freshmen registering last. Priority Registration allows Honors students to register with graduate students, regardless of the number of credits a student has earned. Incoming Honors Freshmen will register for their first semester at Orientation, where they will be taught how to use the Telephone Registration System or the FSU World Wide Web Registration System. Honors students have the choice of living in Landis Hall or the newly renovated Gilchrist Hall. These dorms are centrally located on Landis Green, across from Strozier Library.
