Veterans

Counseling and Advising offers academic and support services for Veterans enrolling into classes at FCC.  We strive to provide a respectful and inclusive link for our returning veterans to become successful in civilian and college life.  Our focus is on wellness and helping guide veterans in adapting the skills they developed from military training and combat experience to the classroom. 
Our office works closely with the Veteran’s Financial Aid Specialist to ensure students are applying for all available Veterans Benefits with associated paperwork completion.
Call the Counseling & Advising office to schedule an appointment with our Veterans Counselor.
