See if you qualify for FIU and which pathway fits you. SAT and/or ACT scores are required for first time in college applicants. They are one factor used in the admissions decision as outlined in the Florida Board of Governors regulation 6.002 . For more information see First Year Pathways. FIU recalculates GPA based on your courses taken.
Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Dual Enrollment, AICE and Honors courses are all taken into consideration in your FIU weighted GPA. FIU weighted GPA is used for Scholarships as well.
Due to recent developments associated with COVID-19, the GRE examination has been removed as a graduate admissions requirement for many of FIU's master's and doctoral programs. The list of programs below has been updated to reflect these changes. See Steps to Apply to get started on your application.
Choose 'Request Official Transcript' from the dropdown. You will be directed to the FIU Parchment site to order your transcript. Prices and instructions are listed on the site.
D- or betterStudents can retake courses and receive federal aid if they had previously failed a course, but can only receive financial aid one more time for a course that has been previously passed. A passing grade is defined as D- or better.
Florida International University “INCG” simply means “include,” which refers to the repeated course. There should also be a course with “EXC,” which means “exclude.” The notation just makes sure that both courses aren't counted twice towards total hours.
In a hybrid class, the face-to-face meeting time is reduced by 50%. The other 50% of the class takes place outside of the classroom whether online, in the field or community, or some place else. This out-of-class “meeting time” is in addition to the homework and preparation assigned in all classes regardless of format.
All students must satisfy FIUs University Core Curriculum (UCC), which is FIUs General Education requirements (Communication/English, Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Arts).
A: While students are encouraged to pursue the highest grade possible in every class, a grade of “D” is considered passing for graduation purposes. Students with “D” grades in core subjects, however, are rarely considered for admission to UC/CSU, and are encouraged to retake the course to earn a higher grade.
droppedCourses dropped after the official Add/Drop Period are recorded on the transcript with a grade of “DR” (dropped). Students are financially liable for all courses dropped after the Add/Drop period.
The HyFlex Hybrid (Mode: Q) modality offers the flexibility to limit the amount of on-campus interactions with students. Mode Q is a highly flexible version of hybrid with a minimum 20% on- campus instructional requirement (e.g. 9 hours of on-campus instruction for a 3 credit class).
FIU Fully Online courses are Asynchronous classes taught through Canvas. While there is no expectation or requirement for student attendance at synchronous meetings, activities and assignments are designed to take place virtually and include due dates.
As a result, effective Summer 2021, FIU will offer courses in the following modalities: Fully In-Person (Mode P) Certified Hybrid (Mode H) Fully Online (Mode I)
FIU has minimum scores and GPA level for automatic admission. For fall entry, the minimums are a 3.3 GPA and an SAT of 1530 or an ACT of 22. (These minimums are much higher if you're graduating high school a year early -- at least a 4.0 GPA and an SAT of 1950 or an ACT of 29 required.)
120 semester hours2. Certified by the dean of the college or the school that all requirements of the degree being sought have been completed. 3. Completion of a minimum of 120 semester hours in acceptable coursework.
120 creditsFor FIUs University Core Curriculum (UCC), Transfer & Transition Services can waive the 1 pending credit to meet a requirement, however, because waivers do not award credit, you may need to complete additional credits at FIU to meet your 120 credits (or more) to graduate.
TAs (or Teaching Assistants) A TA, or Teaching Assistant, is generally a graduate student whose main role is to assist faculty in the instruction of a course or a lab. TAs often lead review sessions and study groups, hold office hours, and guide laboratory experiments.
If you take a hybrid class, you will need good time management skills to make sure that you can keep up with face-to-face and out-of-class meeting times, as well as assignments and preparation. Some tasks must be completed prior to class and some after class.
The other 50% of the class takes place outside of the classroom whether online, in the field or community , or some place else . This out-of-class “meeting time” is in addition to the homework and preparation assigned in all classes regardless of format.
Because TAs are generally graduate students pursuing doctoral degrees in the discipline for which they are a TA, they can also be a good resource if you are considering pursuing graduate school, becoming a university professor, and/or researcher.
Transfers who are starting their third year of college (or are near earning 60 credits) should have a chosen degree. If you are entering FIU with your associate's degree, you must apply to the college or program of your choice in addition to university application.
Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Dual Enrollment, AICE and Honors courses are all taken into consideration in your FIU weighted GPA. FIU weighted GPA is used for Scholarships as well. High School Courses. This is the high school course load required for applying first year students.
Test Scores. SAT and/or ACT scores are required for first time in college applicants. They are one factor used in the admissions decision as outlined in the Florida Board of Governors regulation 6.002 . For more information see First Year Pathways. GPA.
Students transferring with an associate in arts (AA) automatically qualify for admission to the university (with the exception of Limited Access Programs) through the Florida 2+2 Partnership. These students enter FIU as juniors having satisfied the university's general education requirements.
Students transferring without an associate's degree or with fewer than 60 credits are required to submit their SAT or ACT scores and transcripts from any schools they have attended (both high school and college). Transfer students’ test scores must meet minimum test scores to qualify for admission.
Students with 30-59 credits do not have to submit a high school transcript or test scores as long as they have: Completed ENC 1101 or the equivalent with a ‘C’ or better. Completed college-level math with a ‘C’ or better. At least a 2.0 transfer GPA. Good academic standing at their last institution.
Training reports are valid for a period of three years and must be renewed at the end of that three year period by taking a Refresher Course through the CITI website. Please follow the directions below to complete the refresher course:
CITI Health Information Privacy and Security (HIPS) Training: All researchers that are engaged in conducting research involving the use of Protected Health Information (PHI) are also required to complete the online CITI HIPS training (in addition to the regular CITI IRB training).
All researchers that are engaged in conducting one or more of the following types of research studies are also required to complete online GCP training (in addition to the regular CITI IRB training): 1 An NIH funded clinical trial (one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions, which may include placebo or other control, to evaluate the effects of those interventions on health related biomedical or behavioral outcomes); or 2 An FDA regulated clinical trial involving drugs, devices, or biologics.
The FIU IRB Office does not issue certificates of CITI training completion. Note : The FIU CITI IRB required is not required for external (non-FIU) researchers unless the external researcher will be covered under the FIU IRB approval via an Individual Investigator Agreement.
If a C or better is required to fulfill the prerequisite, only a P grade that is replacing a C grade or higher will fulfill the requirement. If the original grade received was a D, the P grade will not fulfill the requirement.
Change of grade requests must be approved by the course instructor, the College or School’s Dean’s Office, and may require additional approval from the Provost’s Office if the change of grade is for a course that was not taken within the last 12 months.
No, a letter grade must be assigned to coursework conducted by FIU dual enrollment for on-and off-campus students. This is in alignment with Florida Statute 1007.271, (20), which states: “A postsecondary institution shall assign letter grades to each student enrolled in a dual enrollment course.
FIU cannot guarantee that every health professional program will accept a P grade and schools may require justification from students on the selection of a P. Health professional programs will NOT accept an NC and students who select an NC grade in place of an F will need to retake the course.
If the course is noted in the catalog as a repeatable course, yes. If the course is not noted as repeatable, you will only be able to repeat the course if your original grade was a D. To retake a course for which you originally earned a C or better, you would need to get permission from your advisor.
Grades of D can be changed to P grades. The P grade that replaces a D will not impact your GPA. Grades of P that replace D grades will count as both attempted and earned credits. P grades that replace Ds will not meet prerequisite requirement of C or better or graduation requirements that require a C or better.
All undergraduate students at the University must fulfill the University FLENT/FLEX foreign language requirement. You probably took two years of a modern language in high school. If these courses were on your high school transcript, it would/should have been entered on in the FIU system and the Flent/Flex foreign language portion ...
The main difference between the two language requirements is that two years of ordinary high school foreign language satisfies the University Foreign Language Requirement (FLENT/FLEX), but ordinary high school language courses DO NOT satisfy SIPA's Foreign ...
This proficiency can be met by receiving credit for the second semester of a foreign language or higher (e.g., SPN 1131 or higher) with a C minimum grade.
For more information on the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) designed to measure knowledge in certain subject areas of general education, including language, please contact the University Testing Center at (305) 348-2441 or go to http://testing.fiu.edu.
In addition to University Core Curriculum requirements, any student who was admitted with a foreign language deficiency must successfully complete two semesters of sequential instruction in one foreign language prior to graduation.
SIPA Foreign Language Requirement. Some academic units do not require anything in addition to the University's foreign language requirement. However, if your major belongs under SIPA then you are required to provide foreign language competency in addition to high school credits.
