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.

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.

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.

Ready to Get Started?

• Request more information about your early enrollment options by completing a quick online form.

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.
