ADMITTED STUDENTS TOUR CALENDAR 

Admitted Students Preview Day 2024

Preview Day will be a full-day, large-scale, open house-style event for up to 200 admitted students and their guests, held on April 5, 2024. Attendees will hear from the dean of the College of Law, learn what to expect in the 1L year from some of the 1L professors, attend a small group session with current students about "life as a law student," enjoy local cuisine during lunch with current students and faculty, participate in a mock class, and take a tour of the law school.

We will kick off our Preview Day the night before, on April 4, with a reception in Tallahassee beginning at 5:30 p.m. You will get the opportunity to mix and mingle with current law students, alumni, law professors, and administrators, as well as your fellow admitted students while enjoying light hors d’oeuvres and beverages!

Non-Resident Reclassification Information

Most non-residents are eligible to reclassify to in-state status for tuition purposes after the first year. The requirements for establishing residency in the state of Florida are set by the Florida Legislature. View the reclassification requirements. Documents establishing residency must be obtained PRIOR to the first day of classes of the first semester in order to meet the minimum requirement of 12 months prior to the term seeking reclassification (i.e. first semester of the 2L year). The only exception to the 12 month timeframe is the date on the letter from the Florida Bar. See the Out of State Residency Reclassification Checklist below for additional details.

United States Military Veterans

Florida State University makes available programs and services to current and former members of the U.S. military. The FSU Student Veterans Center offers assistance with and certification of all educational benefits provided by the VA and DoD. Also, an on-campus orientation session exclusively for veterans and active duty personnel is conducted a few days before the start of the Fall semester. Information on these and other veteran-support programs is available at veterans.fsu.edu.

State and federal law extends out-of-state tuition waivers to students who are honorably discharged veterans of the United States Armed Forces, The United States Reserve Forces, the National Guard or eligible veteran dependents using VA educational benefits, regardless of these students’ state of residency, as long as they physically reside in Florida during their time in school. For additional information, view the Veteran out of State Waiver information below.
