Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Your Orientation Advising Session

Congratulations! If you’ve gotten this far, you are well on your way to becoming a college student. You should have completed all of the questions on your Orientation Worksheet and submitted it to the College site (campus/center) you plan to attend.

Note: You must wait at least two working days after your testing session and after submitting your Worksheet before you come to campus for advising.

Note: Transfer students must also bring an unofficial transcript (or other documentation) showing their previous college coursework.

Advising for Web orientation students is provided on a walk-in basis. The various campuses have different schedules for this service:

Site
Walk-in Orientation Advising
Downtown Call 904.633.8212 for available times.
North/Nassau Call 904.766.6761 for available times.
Kent Call 904.381.3611 to schedule an appointment.
South Call 904.646.2424 for available times.
Deerwood Call 904.997.2600 for available times.
Navy College Program Distance Learning Partnership Call 877.633.5950.

If you cannot come in during these hours, a limited number of evening appointments may be available (call the counseling and advising office of the campus you plan to attend). Bring your worksheet with you if you didn’t e-mail it. You should plan on spending 20-60 minutes on campus, depending on how many other students are waiting for advising.

When you get to campus, the first thing you will do is check in at the front counter of the counseling and advising office, telling them that you have completed the online orientation. You will be seen on a first-come/first-served basis; during peak periods you may have to wait for some time.

During the brief (5-10 minute) advising session, a counselor or advisor will sit down with you and review your program goals and placement test results. Then he or she will provide you with a list of classes that would be suitable for your first term. This would also be the time to ask any lingering questions that may come up as you digest all the information you’ve been exposed to. After you finish this session, you will be cleared to register on or after the date for “All students” that you learned about.

See You on Campus!

Thanks for making the decision to attend Florida Community College. You’ve made a very important decision — to further your education — that will change the direction of your life. We look forward to serving you as you move toward your career and educational goals.
