Student Success at FSCJ
FSCJ is committed to providing students with a supportive environment that promotes lifelong learning.
We believe student success includes:
Success is likely at FSCJ when we:
| Mastering skills + gaining knowledge | |
| Developing intellectually + emotionally | |
| Engaging academically, socially + civically | |
| Setting + achieving goals (achievable and aspirational) | |
| Seeking help + accessing resources | |
| Demonstrating responsibility, resiliency + adaptability | |
| Appreciating all people + perspectives | |
| Developing a sense of identity + purpose |
| Support students in all aspects of their development + education | |
| Provide safe, effective and respectful student-focused environments and interactions | |
| Promote and support excellence in teaching + learning | |
| Recognize and respect the needs of all students | |
| Make teaching + learning accessible to all | |
| Facilitate identification of clear goals, learning pathways + opportunities for engagement |
FSCJ wants every student to make steady academic progress and graduate on time, but we recognize that success does not look the same for every student.
There are different pathways to success.
WE BELIEVE STUDENTS SUCCEED WHEN THEY:
- Make progress toward and achieve goals
- Take advantage of learning opportunities and College resources
- Chart a unique course and plan for the future
- Assume responsibility for behaviors and academic outcomes
