NOTICE!

CAPS strives to provide the best possible advising experience for all students to help you reach your career, academic, and transfer goals.

Visiting From Another College?

Want to get ahead with your degree or catch up on courses while on break from your four-year college or university? It’s easy to take classes at FCC to transfer back to your home school. With relevant courses, flexible schedules, affordable costs, and transferable credits, taking a class at FCC is the smart way to spend your break.

Before applying for admission, please review the Visiting Student Process to ensure the classes you complete transfer back to your four-year college or university.
