or Chief Student Services Officer prior to applying for off-campus employment.<br />
BECOMING A STUDENT AT feaTher river <strong>College</strong><br />
First, explore!<br />
Spend some time looking at all the options at FRC. Look at the programs we offer, opportunities to transfer to a<br />
4-year college, and articulation agreements associated with certain majors. Assess your interests and abilities related<br />
to these majors and programs. Be sure to compare the cost of attending FRC to the cost of attending other colleges.<br />
Look at the option of living on campus as well as off campus. If you need special services, contact Disabled Student<br />
Program and Services for specific services related to your needs. Most important, schedule a campus visit to see<br />
firsthand what it would be like to learn in such a beautiful place! Check out our website at www.frc.edu, or call<br />

case of any absence.<br />
Develop a Student Education Plan with your advisor, and update it at least once a semester. This course sequence<br />
plan will help you choose the right courses in your major, keep you on track toward graduation, and help you stay<br />
focused on completing graduation requirements. A degree audit for any FRC major is available through MyFRC. It is<br />
your responsibility to choose the right courses, and it is important to learn to use these tools wisely!<br />
