    FLCC has over 50 academic programs that offer many options to explore your interests. We offer transfer-friendly general education and liberal arts courses that let you earn college credit while deciding what you want to do — whether that be a career or a transfer path.

    Experience a Thriving Campus Community

  • It's Never Too Late to Learn

    Earn a degree or credential quickly and affordably. Courses at FLCC are well-suited for adult learners who may need extra flexibility while earning a college degree. We offer several programs to help you start a new career or earn a promotion in your current field. You can enroll in any of our programs part-time, so you can earn a college degree — even if you work full-time.

    Earn Credit for Prior Education

    Your prior education and life experiences could help you reach your goals faster. FLCC awards transfer credits for a variety of situations, including college courses, military service, work experience, noncredit programs, and professional accomplishments.

    Professional Guidance and Support

    Returning to school after years in the workforce requires learning how to be a student all over again. FLCC has a team of experts ready to assist you with this transition. Our writing and math tutors, research librarians, and academic success coaches are eager to provide tools that help you achieve your goals. We even have an on-campus child care center that gives parents much-needed time to focus on their studies.

  • You've Made a Great Choice to Transition to FLCC

    Our transfer students love FLCC's small classes, personalized attention, and thriving campus community. While transferring from one college to another can sometimes present certain challenges, FLCC simplifies the process and works hard to ensure you get the most out of your previous college credits.

    Earn Credit for Prior Education

    If you transfer from another SUNY college or university, many of your courses will count directly toward our degree and graduation requirements. Our admissions team will also review any college credits earned outside the SUNY system to assess how many credits you can transfer into your new program. Learn more about transferring credits to FLCC.

  • Welcome Back!

    FLCC is here to get you back on track in your former program or help you start a new one. Our team of admissions counselors, academic advisors, and financial aid specialists are eager to support your decision.

    Ready to Get Started?

    • Returning within 6 years or less? That's great. You simply need to complete a re-matriculation form. It's that easy.
    • Returning after more than 6 years away? Not a problem. You can reapply to FLCC and speak with an admissions counselor about how many of your earlier college credits carry forward.
  • We Have Two Programs Just for You

    FLCC's early enrollment programs offer high school and homeschool students the opportunity to get a head start on college.

    Take College Classes at Your Current High School

    The Gemini program gives you the opportunity to earn college credit during your regular school day without ever leaving your high school. To enroll in Gemini classes, you must be a junior or senior in high school. The college credits you earn can be applied to an FLCC degree or transferred to another college or university once you graduate high school.

    Talk to your high school counselor about enrolling in the program, or review the Gemini Student Guide with your family to learn more about this opportunity.

    Take College Classes Online or at FLCC

    The Early College Scholars program invites high school juniors and seniors to complete FLCC courses online or at one of our four campus locations in Canandaigua, Victor, Newark, or Geneva. You'll learn from experienced FLCC instructors, get a taste of college life, and acclimate to the campus setting.

    Early College Scholars receive a scholarship that covers a portion of their part-time in-state tuition. Funding is available for all high school and home school students meeting the program's eligibility requirements.

  • Skip the Application Process

    We make it easy for lifelong learners to enroll in FLCC courses, both online and in person. You may need to complete a prerequisite course, retake a class, update your resume with new skills, or dive into a topic that interests you. No matter the reason, you'll be able to apply your credits toward an FLCC degree or a degree at another college.

    Flexible Learning All Year Long

    We offer classes during the traditional fall and spring semesters, as well as over winter and summer break — providing access to quality classes on a schedule that works for you.

  • A Recognized Military Friendly School Since 2014

    FLCC has received the Military Friendly School designation from VIQTORY every year since 2014, including a gold-level distinction in 2022. We appreciate the service veterans provide to our country and are committed to making your transition from the military to the classroom successful.

    Earn College Credit for Military Service

    Veterans can save time and money by earning college credit for their military service and training. During a personalized visit, we can assist you in determining to what extent your service has advanced your education.

    Veteran Education Benefits

    If you are a veteran — or a survivor or dependent of a veteran — you may be eligible for federal education benefits through the GI Bill®. FLCC can help you apply for these benefits and connect you with job placement opportunities, tutor support, and other veterans services to get you started on the right foot.
