Keep in mind that registration and student fees will be charged for all classes that you enroll in, whether you are part of FYE or not. These fees are charged and then paid from financial aid awards for qualified students. Some students may have a balance depending on their financial aid award package.

FYE is a year-long Learning Community; that is Fall 2024 and Spring 2025.

Opt-out scheduling allows FYE Program Staff to register you for classes that are part of the FYE Program. You will be registered into classes with other students in your CAP, these courses will help fulfill your GE requirements to meet your goal of an Associate Degree or transfer to a UC, CSU, or private university. Being in these courses with other FYE students helps create strong relationships with your classmates; this fosters peer support - its' easier then to form study groups to support each other with content and assignments.
