Registrar Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is my current GPA? (Grade Point Average)

A: Cumulative averages are determined solely on the basis of points and credits earned at FLCC. Transfer credit does not affect your GPA. The GPA is calculated by dividing the total of each semester’s quality points by the total of each semester’s credits .

Q: Why do I need a Drop/Add slip signed by the instructor(s) when I am just changing sections of a class?

A: Once the semester begins, students must request permission from an instructor to be added into a course, even if it is only a change of course section. Once permission is given, the instructor will sign a Drop/Add form to indicate permission. If you are only changing sections, you do not need an advisor’s signature.

 

Q: If I am waitlisted for a class, how will I know that I was moved to registered status?

A: On a weekly basis from pre-registration until the week before a term begins, waitlists are monitored and students are moved from waitlist to registered status. If you are moved from the waitlist, you will receive a revised schedule in the mail.

Q: Who is my advisor?

A: Advisors are assigned to new full-time students at the beginning of a semester. All students who are assigned to an advisor are sent postcards listing their advisor’s name and office location. If you do not know who your advisor is, stop by the Center for Advisement or the Registrar’s Office and we will be happy to check for you.

 

Q: When are grades mailed?

A: Grades are due in from instructors approximately one week after the end of the term. Grades are usually processed and mailed within 10 days of the end of a term.

 

Q: Can I receive my grades by telephone?

A: Because we are unable to verify the identity of any caller beyond a reasonable doubt, grades are not released by telephone to protect the student’s right to privacy.

 

Q: I am planning to complete my graduation requirements, but have not yet completed a Graduation Application form. Will I still be able to graduate?

A: Students must complete a Graduation Application to be considered for graduation. Unless this form is completed, you will not be graduated from FLCC, even if you complete all of your degree requirements. The form should be completed at the time you register for your last semester of classes and submitted to the Registrar’s Office.
