FRCC

Discuss the College Before Graduation Program with your parent/guardian. Meet with your counselor to determine if the course you want to take will work with your high school schedule. Check the course catalog to know if the course you are interested in requires any prerequisites. You can not take a course unless you have met those prerequisites. It is also advised to meet with a college advisor to align your courses with your career plans. If you are not sure which courses to take, reach out to FRCC for more direction on career pathways. 

GT Pathways courses, in which the student earns a C- or higher, will always transfer and apply to GT Pathways requirements in AA, AS and most bachelor's degrees at every public Colorado college and university.

• Check your college issued email account in eWolf, this is where you will communicate with your instructors
• Check your syllabus for course materials and expectations.

Note: If your course is on the high school campus, FRCC will register you. If your course is on the FRCC campus or online, you are responsible for registering for classes. If you are taking a course after school or during the summer at a BVSD campus, you are responsible for registering for classes and you will be emailed a unique CRN to complete registration. 

• Login to D2L on the first day of class, regardless when your class starts
• Remember to check your FRCC email frequently (found in eWolf)
• The course syllabus that the teacher provides lists all of the reading and course assignments. Check the syllabus daily to stay on top of what needs to be done. Also, when the class is finished, save the syllabus in an electronic file - you may need it when transferring the credit to a university!
