Here's everything you need to get started — from securing your place to your first day of class.
Secure your place by submitting your non-refundable enrollment deposit. It applies directly to your first semester's tuition. Adult bachelor's students don't pay a deposit.
You'll receive an email with instructions to set up your FSC email and SSO account — your access point for the FSC Portal, Canvas (FSC's learning management system), and other campus resources. Set these up first; you'll use them for everything else.
If you haven't already, file your FAFSA and review your financial aid in the FSC Portal. Accept your awards and complete any outstanding requirements so aid is applied to your account before your bill is due.
Your advisor will contact you with guidance on registering for your first term. Most programs offer evening, online, or hybrid formats, so your schedule will fit your needs.
Upload your photo to the FSC Portal, pay for your parking permit online, and pick both up at the Safety Office.
Access your course through Canvas and order materials through the FSC Bookstore.
Get familiar with the platforms you'll use every day. These short video tutorials will get you up and running quickly.
