<p>I am an incoming upper-level transfer, and I was wondering if I really need to attend this ceremony. I know it's a part of the new seminole tradition and all, honestly, is it mandatory that I have to attend?</p>
<p>I know a lot of people who were freshmen in '09 and didn’t go. They didn’t have any problems, so I don’t see why you would.</p>
<p>If you don’t attend convocation, you will be dropped from all your core classes and contacted by the dean of admissions. JK, but no seriously no need to attend it’s not a big deal. I thankfully had my first FSU party the night before and woke up too late to attend :D</p>
<p>Go - it’s short, sweet and really neat.</p>
<p>You a big kid now an you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. So don’t go. But I agree it is not long, it is full of tradition, and you get a pin that you will not get anywhere else.</p>
<p>Well I know what to do now. Sleep in.</p>
<p>I’m going. I want to get my money’s worth at FSU.</p>
