FSCJ Transient

FSCJ Transient Students

For degree-seeking students currently attending Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ), but want to take course(s) at another college/university, FSCJ is your home institution. Students must contact an FSCJ academic advisor to ensure credits taken at another college/university will transfer back to FSCJ.
