New Student Orientation & Advising
We look forward to meeting you as you get started on your journey at FCC!
Step 1: Send Transcripts & Test Scores
Before you continue, please make sure you send your high school transcript or test scores to [email protected] or take placement tests to determine your English and math level.
Step 2: Complete Online Orientation
Go2Orientation
Go2Orientation is a convenient, easy-to-navigate virtual orientation program that all students
should complete before starting their first semester.
Through videos, links, and clear explanations, Go2Orientation gives new students
the in-depth information needed to be successful at FCC. Take your time, and you can
always return to Go2Orientation to review information.
Step 3: Meet with an Advisor
Once you have completed Go2Orientation, you are strongly encouraged to meet with your assigned Academic Advisor to review your pathway before registering for classes. The best way to do this? Attend a Compass Day!
At Compass Days, you'll be able to:
- Meet your advisor and other students in your major
