Log on to Connections and click on "Go here to check your Florida State College email" on the 'my Home' tab. That should open your FSCJ email in Microsoft Outlook.

Okay....This is for everyone who ever wanted to know about retaking a C. This is my True Hollywood Story!! lol Okay So I attempted to enter the program 3 terms ago with a 190 and did not cut it so I wanted to retake human growth and psychology which I had received an C in. I talked t about 3 different advisors on all 4 campuses searching for an answer. Some where straight up mean about it "NO! you cannot retake a C" One fine day I finally talked a an advisor at ceicil center and she told me to talk to the Dean of worksource at north campus(Dr. Neal Henning) She told me he would let me retake my C's since i am a nursing hopeful...so i went and called him and he told me that since it has not been six years that he would not allow me to retake but he gave me the greatest advice EVER!!! He told me I could fill out a transient form and transfer to Columbia college and retake both courses online in 8 weeks and transfer back to fscj by terms start. So I did. I received a transient form from the office and found out columbia college's class equivalent course codes and WALAAAA!! I just finished up both classes with A's transfered back over and submitted my columbia transcript all in time for this summer term =) I am 24 with a 4 year old and 3 year old and I visited the school almost everyday with both of them in those offices to get this done...it was anything but EASY! Them acedemic advisors know absolutely NOTHING!!! I visited all of them after I actually did it and told them what they said I could not do and they were speachless! I just wanted to let them know so for any of you who are in the same boat does not have to go through all the hoops I did =) Hope this helps.

WHATTTTT!!! WOOWWW! That is the GREATEST INFORMATION EVER! LOL! :) Thank you so much for that! I just turned my aaplication in Friday because I retook the NAT I scored about 15 points higher than last time in my Natural Sciences area which was the area I did not do good in back in October, I have 195.2 points! I am very excited! At first I calculated my points all wrong back in October but I feel good about my 195. So, I have been stressin thinking about what was my next step if I did not get in to get more points and now I know! How do you go about getting a transient form from Columbia? Is it something that FSCJ gives you or they do? I thank you for this information, I always feel better when I have several other options lined up in case Plan A falls through. I will be graduating in May as well. Buit, I am kind of hestitant now, since I heard when you get an AA that puts you in the 150% Rule catergory...... as for as financial aid is concerned. How much were the classes at Columbia online?

Hi Surftink,

I was the person who originally asked about retaking a class that you make a C in. Thanks for this info! I was just wondering do you have to contact Dr. H to have permission before requesting a transient form to transfer to Columbia College or can I just go to any campus and fill out the form?

Does anyone know if this is true?

I am not sure if it is true or not. I have heard it from students around campus and here on the site.

Supposedly if you obtain an AA degree prior to, applying to the Nursing program and if you recv financial aid it puts you under a 150% Rule, that decreases the amount of financial aid given and you have a lot more of out of pocket expenses.

I wonder if this is true though, I heard that if you apply to the Nursing program with an AA degree you have a better chance of getting in... I dont think thats true but I have heard that a couple of time before.

I have never heard this before. I know about the 150% rule, but obtaining an AA degree may or may not put you at 150th percentile. I thought they went by the percentage of total credits earned. I'm planning on getting my AA during the summer if I'm not accepted into the nursing program in the summer. I need to talk with an advisor. I hope I'm accepted in the program, then I won't have to worry about this.
