FSU Advising Day

Although I have not received an e-mail announcement, there are signs around campus stating that the FSU Advising Day will be this Wednesday, 26 September from 10 AM to 3 PM.

This is the easiest way to talk to an Engineering academic adviser about the timing of your transfer to the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. They can tell you what classes are likely to be offered in the spring, summer, and fall semesters at FSU and help you put together a plan that makes sense for you, possibly including dual enrollment during your last semester at TCC.

For example, a recent visiting alumnus told me how it worked with a spring start in mechanical engineering: you needed to take 11 hours of engineering classes in the summer (about like 13 hours in a regular semester) to be on track for the classes that start in the fall. A fall start had a much easier load, while a summer start is mostly limited to picking up non-sequence classes like basic circuits.
