When do I register for classes?
Before registering for classes, you must have a complete admissions file. After completing your admissions file, you will be assigned an advisor who will help you choose classes. After you complete your admissions file and meet with your assigned advisor you are ready to register for classes.
How do I register for classes?
We encourage students to register online; however, we will accept paper registrations with an advisor's signature. You can find detailed online registration instructions on the student portal. If you have questions, contact Sharon Nau at (406) 756-3845.
Who is my advisor?
Look for your acceptance letter. After completing your admissions file, you will receive an acceptance letter indicating who your academic advisor is. You will be assigned an advisor based on your academic program. If you choose to change your advisor, you must fill out a Change of Advisor Form (PDF). It is important to complete a change of major form if you decide to change your academic program.
What if I don't know what classes to register for?
It is required that all degree-seeking students meet with their academic advisor before registering for any classes. Your advisor will help you choose appropriate classes in order to complete your degree.
How much does it cost?
Our tuition and fees are determined by residency. The costs of books vary depending on the courses you register for. We encourage full-time students to budget approximately $500 per semester.
How do I pay for classes?
There are many payment options available at FVCC. Our business office will work with you to set up payment plans. You can make a payment online or stop in the business office located in the Blake Hall/Student Center Administration Building Room 132.
How do I purchase textbooks?
You can order your books online through our bookstore, or come into the bookstore. The bookstore is located in the Blake Hall building. The bookstore carries both used and new textbooks, but generally the used books go fast!
