Registration
Students intending to enroll in classes may pre-register by going online to the FPCC website, www.fpcc.edu, or by picking up a registration packet from Student Services, the Admissions Office, and/or the Registrar’s Office. Students who preregister are required to complete their registration by meeting with the Financial Aid Officer and Adviser. The registration process is not complete until the payment of tuition, fees and books or other arrangements are made with the Financial Aid Office.
Details for registration are published in local newspapers and broadcast on the radio & posted on social media prior to the beginning of each semester. Students who discontinue study for one or more semesters and return to pursue a degree at a later time can re-enter a degree program under the same FPCC Catalog providing the catalog is within the last five (5) years. However, FPCC is under no obligation to offer courses, programs or degrees which have been discontinued while students are absent from the institution. Absence during a summer semester does not constitute discontinuance of study under the terms of this policy.
Advising
Students are assigned to an academic advisor during or as soon as possible after admission to FPCC. Students meet with their advisors for assistance in developing educational plans and selecting programs of study and courses and in the general registration process. Thereafter, meetings between the advisor and student are periodic throughout each semester. These meetings allow student to discuss academic progress, college and academic issues. Students may change their advisor after the first semester by contacting the Registrar or Admissions Officer.
