What Did You Miss? Here Is a Quick Guide to Being an FSC Student

It's a great time to #BeARam! Here is a quick guide to everything you may need right at your fingertips.

Be in the Know

The most important thing to being an FSC student is to always be in the know. Ensure your contact information is up-to-date and check to make sure you are signed up to receive text message notifications from the College to receive important need-to-know information, including weather emergencies, important deadlines, and other essential items.

• Quickly Update Your Information as this will allow us to communicate important information with you. 

Be Ready

When coming back to campus, we want you to be ready to go with all the essential information you need for the semester:

  • myFSC
  • Wi-fi Access on Campus

  • And much more
• The FSC Bookstore– Gear up with your favorite FSC gear and grab your textbooks in advance for your classes next semester. 
• Campus Dining – Fuel up with meals for the week and know where you need to go to grab them.  

Be $mart
