IMPORTANT NOTES 1. The CPT Placement information on your certificate will be explained to you in more detail as part of academic advisement. It is important to remember that the reason for testing is to get you started in classes matched to your skills and to improve your chances of success; it does not impact your college admissions. 2. After you meet with an academic adviser, your next step will be to sign up (register) for your classes. You will do this online. Follow the instructions provided within your Pre-Advising or on page 4 of the Career Training and University Transfer Schedule. 3. (NOTE: If placed into one or more college prep classes, print this). Since you have college prep. classes assigned (based on testing), you will have to register for these classes before any others. 4. Be sure to pay for your classes before the payment deadline or your classes will be dropped. Financial aid students have a special payment deadline (see your Financial Aid advisor if you have questions about this). 5. This advising information is provided in order to facilitate your first-term registration. You should make an appointment for follow-up advising a few weeks after beginning classes. 6. (NOTE: If POS is appropriate, print this).Since you are seeking an A.S., A.A.S., Certificate or Workforce program, you have an assigned Program Advisor (see page 1 for contact information). This is the person who can answer specific information about program admissions and course selection.
7. (NOTE: If transfer credit is indicated, print this).Since you are a transfer student and your transcript evaluation has not been completed, the course recommendations are UNOFFICIAL, pending this evaluation. You should make a follow-up appointment once your evaluation is complete. 8. (NOTE: If placed into one or more EAP classes, print this).Since you are an ESL or ESOL student, you will need to complete these classes first. If you need additional advising information, you may contact _________________________. 9. For your reference, additional information about your program of study is provided on the following page(s).

(NOTE: for sample “Undecided Major” student or those who said they want to verify their choice.) Career Planning Our records show that you are undecided about a program or major or want to verify a choice you have made. The selection of a major and a career are important elements of your college experience. These choices can make a significant difference in the educational program you pursue and the specific courses you will take within your program of choice. FCCJ’s counselors are trained to provide you with professional career and educational planning assistance. You are encouraged to make use of their assistance. One way to begin this process is to utilize the Career Goals booklet, available in your campus Counseling and Advising Office. Career Goals provides a framework for career exploration, leading you through a process of understanding career planning, self-assessment, career exploration, reality testing, decision making, and goal setting. As a part of this framework, you will be using a state-of-the-art online career exploration system (Choices Planner) that will help you match your characteristics with different careers. Choices Planner will also provide you with valuable information about careers you want to explore, including typical job titles and job tasks, working environment, educational requirements, job outlook for the next 10 years, and starting salaries. When you meet with your academic advisor or counselor, please ask for your personal copy of Career Goals and start planning your future. (NOTE: When available online, this resource will be offered.)
