Once all necessary admissions steps are completed, the CSS registers all incoming undergraduate students to SFC. This includes incoming first-year students and transfers, as well as students returning to SFC to finish their studies. All incoming students meet with advisors and/or complete a course questionnaire before the semester starts to confirm their course preferences, skills assessment scores, and previous coursework (if applicable). First-year students are then pre-registered for classes that are customized to meet the needs of their degree and receive their first-semester registration digitally for review prior to attending new-student orientation. At orientation, first-year students will then meet with advisors in small groups to review their courses in more detail and answer questions. Transfer and readmitting students meet with advisors to register one-on-one and receive an in-depth review of prior coursework, including transfer credits, before building a schedule within the CSS.
