Student Success at FSCJ

FSCJ is committed to providing students with a supportive environment that promotes lifelong learning.

We believe student success includes:

Success is likely at FSCJ when we:

Mastering skills + gaining knowledge 
Developing intellectually + emotionally 
Engaging academically, socially + civically
Setting + achieving goals (achievable and aspirational)
Seeking help + accessing resources
Demonstrating responsibility, resiliency + adaptability
Appreciating all people + perspectives
Developing a sense of identity + purpose
Support students in all aspects of their development + education 
Provide safe, effective and respectful student-focused environments and interactions 
Promote and support excellence in teaching + learning
Recognize and respect the needs of all students
Make teaching + learning accessible to all
Facilitate identification of clear goals, learning pathways + opportunities for engagement

FSCJ wants every student to make steady academic progress and graduate on time, but we recognize that success does not look the same for every student.

There are different pathways to success.

WE BELIEVE STUDENTS SUCCEED WHEN THEY:

  • Make progress toward and achieve goals
  • Take advantage of learning opportunities and College resources
  • Chart a unique course and plan for the future
  • Assume responsibility for behaviors and academic outcomes
