The Honors Program Orientation will allow you to meet our faculty and staff, learn about program expectations and discover the many benefits Fresno City College has to offer.  You'll also have an opportunity to ask questions. All Honors Students must attend this event!

The Live Orientation was on March 1. However, you can view a recorded version here:

Please let us know if you accept or decline your admission to the Leon S Peters Honors Program at FCC. You can even tell us "Maybe."  For some students, the Honors Program is part of their "backup plan."  That's OK, but we highly encourage you to still meet with a counselor and register for classes.  You don't want to find yourself in July scrambling at the last minute to register for classes.

Accept or Decline

Meet with an Honors Program Counselor to create a Student Educational Plan (SEP) to appropriately place you in the correct courses for your first semester at Fresno City College. 

Counseling appointments will be through Zoom and can be scheduled online using Starfish, FCC's student connection portal.  If you're new to Starfish and need some help, you can learn more at the Starfish for FCC Students page.

If you're unable to make an appointment online, call the Transfer Center at 559.442.8290.

Register for the courses as planned on the SEP that you created with your counselor. Please visit New Student Registration Resources for registration assistance.

Registration for Honors Program students begins on March 24th at Midnight. If you need help registering, Honors Program Counselors and staff will be available on Zoom from 8am to 8pm on March 24.  Call the Transfer Center at 559.442.8290 to book an Honors Registration Support appointment. If you need help after March 24, just call the Transfer Center at 559.442.8290 and ask for Honors Registration help.
