The University?s mandatory First Day Non-Attendance Drop policy is in effect for the first week of all Fall 2026 classes. Dropping students for first day non-attendance is necessary for the university to remain in compliance with Federal Financial Aid regulations (and students expect it). This policy requires all faculty and instructional staff to take attendance at the first class meeting of the semester. This policy is non-discretionary and applies to all classes, regardless of campus, space availability in the class, delivery method, course level, and/or academic unit offering the class. As a reminder, attendance means making contact with the instructor as specified by the instructor at the start of the term. There are a number of ways this contact can be achieved. One method instructors can use to take first day attendance is through their Canvas course site(s). Please see First Day Attendance in Canvas for more information and options. If you use Canvas to satisfy the first day attendance requirement, please note that you still need to report your first day non-attendance drops as directed below. Methods for Reporting and Processing Non-Attendance Drops: * Faculty and Staff?Please reference How To Use the Attendance Roster Tool. * Email?Send a message to registrar at fsu.edu. Please include the student's name, EMPLID, the course prefix and number, and the class section number. Staff will be monitoring this email closely and will be processing drops up until midnight on the fourth day of classes (Thursday, 27 August 2026). * myFSU Mobile?Check and submit first-day attendance via the mobile version of Faculty Center. Simply download the myFSU Mobile app from the iTunes App Store or Google Play and follow these instructions: How to Submit First Day Attendance via myFSU Mobile. 5th Day Classes and Non-Attendance Drops: Once drop/add closes on Thursday, 27 August 2026, faculty will still be able to use the attendance tool for their Friday, 28 August 2026 classes. Please DO take attendance in any class that meets for the first time on Friday, 28 August 2026. Additional Information We are no longer processing administrative cancellation requests on the fifth day of classes. Students who need to drop all of their classes should be directed to the Withdrawal Services Office. Thank you, Office of the University Registrar -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(Thanks Jaylin!) Last year, we did this for all art students taking classes in FAB (or other locations but they want a locker in FAB). If you notice that I have inadvertently missed an instructor on this email, please feel free to share this info with them. And if you want a locker for yourself, send an email to Jaylin and me with the requested info. I do not have any of the large wooden or free-standing lockers to give out. The only lockers available to assign are the RED ones located on the first, second and third floors. They are small but they can be great for storing an art box, closed toe shoes, smaller materials and hand tools, a bag, etc. (Several of the lockers are extremely dusty? probably from some past building construction, but again can be cleaned if your students want to make use of them.) They are free for the students to use. I typically assign them for the year and ask students to clean out by the end of spring semester. Otherwise contents will be thrown away in May. Please post the locker announcement right away. This is made more manageable because we try to condense the volume of asks to a short period of time! Please post the following message to your Canvas course letting students know they can request a locker: As an Art student enrolled in this course, you are eligible to request one of the red lockers located on the first, second or third floors in FAB. The lockers are only 12 inches deep and will not hold portfolios or large pads of paper but are good to store materials, tools, closed toe shoes (3D/sculpture), bags, etc. Lockers can be assigned for the semester or year (your choice). To request a locker, please send the following information to Jaylin Pinkney jp26s at fsu.edu and copy Jean Shon jys24 at fsu.edu: * Your name: * Your FSU email: * Your phone number: * Enrolled Course(s) & Instructor Name(s): * Locker Location Request: (1st, 2nd, or 3rd Floor): * Number of lockers requested: (typically 1) * Do you want to keep this locker for the 2025-26 academic year? (Y/N) * ("Yes" will be assigned through the end of April 2027 and ?No" will be assigned only through December 11, 2026. After the assignment period ends please be sure to remove your belongings to avoid loss. Contents remaining after the assignment term will be discarded.) If you are taking more than one class, you may request 2 lockers, especially if your courses are on different floors. Please be sure to include information for all courses above IF you are requesting more than one locker. ------------------------------------------------- Best, Jean -- Jean Shon Assistant Professor Department of Art, College of Fine Arts Florida State University www.jeanshon.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
