FLCC Online Academic Help Links
With online classes starting today, the Finger Lakes Community College Athletic Department wants to remind all of our student-athletes that we are here to help. We understand there are going to be some difficulties in getting used to the new class structures. The department has put together a list of academic help links for our student-athletes to take advantage of during this time.
Our first help link is to Academic Advising. This page will direct student-athletes to our Academic Success Network. They will be able to get in touch with FLCC’s professional and faculty advisors along with specialized program and cohort advisors. Registration begins April 13 for all students.

Our final academic help link is for Community Standards and Counseling. This is an unprecedented time for everyone at FLCC and we understand many student-athletes may be experiencing difficulties. At this link, one can find help with coping more effectively with stress, developing healthy relationships, improving communication skills, increasing self-confidence, assertiveness, and self-esteem, learning to deal with grief, trauma, or loss, discovering how to overcome procrastination and/or other self-defeating behaviors, and resolving academic concerns. This type of assistance is extremely important to keep in mind as we are all distanced from each other. Student-athletes can find this help at: https://www.flcc.edu/offices/counseling/
