<p>Bring transcripts, even it unofficial and downloaded online, for any DE courses completed; or for AP credits from Junior year or prior. They need official transcripts before you start classes, but for advising and schedules you can have an unofficial copy of credits and scores. </p>
<p>The new HIPAA health forms at FSU are good only per incident now. You can’t sign a form letting parents have access to all medical records. Each illness or incident has to be signed when it occurs and releases info to parents for that incident/illness until it is no longer a problem. No blanket forms any more. Apparently their legality was called into question. However, the director of Student Health spoke at the orientation, gave EACH AND EVERY PARENT her business card, and said that she will be on the phone to you, signature or not, if your child leaves campus in an ambulance or requires serious emergency or hospital care. She also said that if a parent has any questions about a health issue with their child and there was no form signed, to call her personally, and she would get your student on the phone, or visit your child in his/her dorm room to tell them that mom/dad was calling and to please sign a form or call home if she thought that it was a situation that warrented parents knowing. </p>
<p>If your child has a chronic illness, a form can be signed to care relating to that illness for as long as it is a problem.</p>
<p>And if your child is still 17, you can call anytime, remind the staff that your child is not 18, and ask away.</p>
