3-1-1

The 3-1-1 Program is a time-shortened degree program designed for students interested in pursuing an Associates degree at FLCC after high school graduation.  High school seniors simultaneously complete their senior year of high school and freshman year of college at a reduced cost.  At the end of the program, students will have completed 3 years of high school; one year of combined high school and college; and one year of full time college study culminating with graduation from FLCC.  Upon graduation students can transfer to four year institutions. 

High school seniors take FLCC college courses at their high school through the Gemini Program.  Students also travel to the College or its campus centers to take additional part-time college courses at their convenience.  Upon high school graduation, students will matriculate to FLCC with sophomore status.   

Participants

Canandaigua Academy, Marcus Whitman High School, and Penn Yan Academy currently participate in the 3-1-1 program.  However, if you attend another school district please contact our office to inquire about the future availability of the program.  3-1-1 students can fully participate in all high school sports and activities.  Transportation to FLCC locations is the responsibility of the student. 

Eligibility Requirements

  1. Students must take Accuplacer and place into ENG 101 even if they are taking another type of English course (Ex. AP, IB, SUPA).  Students have 2 chances to take and pass the Accuplacer exam.  After which, if they are not successful, they will not be allowed to participate in the program.
  2. Students must have a minimum overall GPA of 80% at the end of their junior year.
  3. Students must complete a minimum of 12 credits through a combination of Gemini, articulated, and on-campus courses.  On-campus courses and Gemini courses cannot exceed 11 credits, as students will have to pay full-time tuition.
  4. If a student decides to withdraw from the program, they will not have the option to pay for articulated courses after the Gemini registration deadlines.
  5. To receive credit for articulated courses, students must attend FLCC within 3 years of high school graduation.
