Log in to OSC with your FSUID and password. (Please be aware that the FSU Office of Admissions processes thousands of applications each semester, and it takes time for files to be updated, especially around deadlines.)
Many of FSU's official communications, including your admission decision, are sent electronically by the FSU Graduate School. Please make sure that we always have your most up-to-date email address. You will need to check your email account and the Online Status Check on a regular basis. To ensure receipt of our emails, include graduateadmissions@admin.fsu.edu in your address book.
