Getting Started

If you are not yet an FGCU Student, visit the Admissions Office Web site.

If you are a newly-admitted FGCU student please be sure to sign up for an Orientation session. As part of this session you will be meeting with an academic advisor who will assist you in registering for classes for your major. Distance Learning students are not required to attend an Orientation session.
