Next Steps CHECKLIST Registering for classes is an important step in becoming a student at FCC, but there is still plenty to do after registration to prepare for the beginning of the semester. Here are some things you can do before classes start: 1. CHECK YOUR STUDENT EMAIL DAILY 2. APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID AND SCHOLARSHIPS 3. PAY YOUR STUDENT FEES 4. CHECK YOUR WAITLIST STATUS 5. GET YOUR STUDENT ID 6. PURCHASE YOUR PARKING PERMIT Your email is the primary method the college uses to send you important information including financial aid, registration eligibility, and deadlines. To access your email, login through the FCC student portal. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.ed.gov or the California Dream Act application at dream.csac.ca.gov. If you need assistance, call the Financial Aid Office at (559) 442-8245 or email financialaidoffice@fresnocitycollege.edu. Additional scholarships and aid may be available, visit fresnocitycollege.edu/financialaid for more information. Even if your tuition is covered by financial aid, there may be additional costs such as the health or ASB fee. Check the fee amount owed and the deadline in Self-Service or visit fresnocitycollege.edu/fees for more information, including how to submit your payment. If you are waitlisted for a class during registration, make sure to check your student email daily for a “Permission to Register” message. You will have four days (including weekends) to enroll in the class using Self-Service under the Academics tab, by clicking Register for Classes/View My Schedule link.
