Meeting Your Academic Needs
First-Year Student Advising
We are here from the start of your FSU career to help you figure out how to earn your college degree. Our staff can advise you on which courses to take to complete your major program or help you pick a major that fits your interests. We are always available to chat whether you are having a great or more challenging semester.
Undeclared and Transitional Student Advising
If you are unsure of your place at FSU, we can guide you in finding a major and exploring academic and developmental opportunities that fit your strengths. Our goal is to help you capitalize on your unique skills and talents to achieve success.
Students on Academic Probation and Warning
CAAR has the tools to help you get back on track. We will work with you to build an Academic Recovery Plan (PDF) and find ways to improve your scholastic life, including participating in CAAR-sponsored workshops and other campus resources. We will meet with you regularly to discuss your classes, major choice, career interests, extra-curricular life, and anything else that can help you progress and stay motivated.
