ATHLETICS COUNSELING

Welcome to the Athletic Counseling site for Fresno City College Athletics! It is our mission to ensure that all FCC student-athletes receive sound academic counseling through comprehensive educational plans, student-athlete success courses and advising workshops. The athletic counselors are also a great resource for on-campus services, transfer planning, and NCAA/NAIA information.

TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT

You must identify yourself as a student-athlete for them to schedule you, and you must be an active member of a Fresno City athletic team. Potential student-athletes should contact the coach of the sport they are interested in directly. Once they are added to a team, they are able to receive services from Athletic Counseling staff.

TEAM ADVISING WORKSHOPS

Each FCC athletic team attends two advising workshops per school year. All student-athletes are advised individually, and ed plans are set in place before priority registration. All FCC student-athletes receive at least an abbreviated Student Ed Plan (or SEP-A) for their first semester. For the next semester, if not already completed, they will receive a comprehensive plan outlining all the courses required to graduate and/or transfer from Fresno City College to a 4-year university. It is important to keep these ed plans as a resource during your time at FCC. They are specific to each student-athlete’s transfer goals and educational needs. Any diversion from the plan should be cleared with an athletic counselor.

STUDENT-ATHLETE SUCCESS COURSES

Counseling 53 – Each summer, athletic counseling staff teaches a 3-unit section of COUN 53, College Life & Management, specifically for incoming student- athletes. Topics covered include: transition to a college setting, time management, health & wellness, study strategies and life skills. NCAA/NAIA transfer rules and FCC graduation planning are also discussed. To register for this course, contact an athletic counselor for the schedule number in late Spring or early summer.
