• Computer Familiarity Test: Individuals seeking an AA/AS degree must complete a computer class or successfully pass the Computer Familiarity Test. FCC's CFT has 30 questions covering, File Management, Word Processing, and Info & Communication. The CFT cost $25.00 and must be completed in 70 minutes. The CFT does not grant credit, units, nor serve as an IS prerequisite, but does meet graduation requirement. The CFT is administered Monday through Friday. Please call 559.442.8280. There is a 2 week wait before retesting if a candidate is not successful.
• Disabled Students Programs & Services (DSPS): The majority of students receiving DSPS services need to take the FCC Assessment Test. (This is not the one-on-one diagnostic testing which is conducted by DSPS, but a placement test—how much do you know so you can be placed into the appropriate classes.) Since many DSPS students need accommodations to ensure their placement results truly reflect their skill level, special test dates and times have been established to ensure DSPS students can receive the accommodations their counselor has recommended. If you are a DSPS student or think you may be eligible for DSPS services, please contact DSPS at 559.442.8237 prior to testing. We must know what accommodations you are to be given.
