Graduation Planning and Strategies
The Graduation Planning and Strategies (GPS) Office provides programming and academic support activities for undergraduate students with high credit hours and other general advising needs to promote long-term planning and support student-driven goals for graduation and beyond.
GPS will help students:
- Maximize their available options for degree completion
- Develop timely graduation plans
- Explore continuing education opportunities
Populations we directly support:
- Students who earned an Associate of Arts (AA) degree while in high school
- Students who enter the university with a high number of credit hours, through accelerated credit or transfer credit
- Students who have paused their FSU undergraduate journey and plan to return and finish their degree
Any student can work with GPS. Unlike an academic advisor, we do not assist in developing course schedules; however, we provide a space to have meaningful, big-picture degree planning conversations. To schedule an appointment, please contact a member of the GPS Team.
