The staff will gladly assist students with immigration regulations, health insurance information, educational planning, personal problems, and other areas of concern. Many students attend to upgrade employment skills, for career exploration, teacher certification, audit, or for personal objectives. Transient students must submit a transient letter showing good standing from the last institution attended prior to registering. A non-degree status student cannot be certified for financial aid or veterans' benefits. If a student wishes to pursue a degree, he or she must contact the Admissions and Records Office and indicate a desire to be changed to a degree-seeking status.
Some courses are closed to non-degree seeking students.
Those who have been suspended from another institution or who have a 20 or more grade point deficit are required to file a petition for admission. Students entering with a grade point deficit of 1-19 will be on probation. A high school transcript or proof of GED is also required. Failure to have all transcripts on file will prohibit the student from registering the following semester. CFCC does not ordinarily accept transfer credits from institutions not accredited by a regional accrediting agency.
