New Student Orientation is your first step toward becoming Rayzor Ready.
Being Rayzor Ready means feeling confident, prepared, and ready to start strong. College is exciting, but it’s also a lot of new information. Orientation helps you learn how FSCJ works, meet your support team, and build your plan for your first semester.
Let’s Get You Ready: 3 Quick Steps
1. Send Us Your Transcripts
High school. Dual enrollment. Any college classes you've taken. If you’ve done the work, we want to see it. Getting your transcripts in early helps advisors make sure you’re starting in the right classes from day one.
2. Lock in Your Placement
Your placement helps determine which math and English classes are the best fit for you. Once that’s set, advisors can help you build a plan that actually makes sense.
3. Confirm Your Orientation Date
This is where everything starts to come together. Choose the orientation session that works for your schedule and save your seat.
