100) is now required for all first-year students. FSUS 100 is a one-credit
orientation to college course—it is free to the student. It is one of the
centerpieces of the retention efforts at FSU.
Mid-Term Grading of
Students. Strongly recommended Students will no longer receive academic
warnings but actual grades in the course as of the mid-term (October, 2004).
Faculty will need to post grades on-line. Grade reports will be available to
students on-line and will be sent to their home address. This process is being
implemented based on success several other colleges have had in using this
method to help students more clearly recognize where they stand in the course. |
