Getting Started

In order to assist new students in successfully transitioning to college and to increase the likelihood of academic success and degree completion, SFCC offers a New Student Orientation (NSO) to familiarize students with programs and resources available at the college. New students are required to meet with an academic advisor before registering for classes. These services are designed to keep new students on track, enhance their student success and improve degree completion. For more information about this or upcoming NSO dates, please call 505-428-1270.

Academic advisors are located in the Student Affairs area to assist with undecided or exploratory students as well as embedded within the Academic schools.
