Registration and Course Enrollment

After acceptance into the program, students not currently enrolled at Florida State will enroll and register as “Special Students” through the Academic & Professional Program Services (APPS) department. Admission as a “Special Student,” does not admit the student as a graduate student at Florida State. However, the courses taken will appear as graduate-level credits on the student’s official transcript. Students may transfer up to 12 credits of coursework taken as a “Special Student” into a graduate degree program at FSU, depending on departmental requirements.

Forms for registration and course enrollment can be found on the APPS website. Students will need to submit the “Special Student Biographical Form” and “Residency Affidavit” for enrollment (note that the “Health History Form” DOES NOT need to be submitted). Students will submit the “Course Registration” form each semester for registration in courses. Forms should be faxed to:

Jennifer Boss at 850/644-3803
AND
Jill Peerenboom at 850/644-1258

In addition, students must submit transcripts from each institution of higher education that they have attended to the Certificate Program Coordinator. Transcripts should be mailed to

Jill Peerenboom/Certificate in IR
Department of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies
1209 Stone Building
Florida State University
Tallahassee, FL 32306-4452

Students already seeking a degree at FSU and state employees using state tuition waivers will register for the on-campus section of courses according to stated procedures. Current students should register for courses during open registration. State employees must submit forms in accordance with the guidelines posted on the Registrar’s website.

Course Fees

Each course offered costs $1000 (includes fees) for off-campus students. There are no additional fees associated with application to or enrollment in the program. Students may incur costs associated with the purchase of books/materials for courses.

Certificate Completion

Upon completion of the Certificate, students will submit a completed Program of Study form and Demographic Form. Forms will be processed by program staff and submitted to the registrar so that a notification of completion of the Certificate in Institutional Research can be placed on the transcript. Students will also receive a paper certificate confirming their completion.
