FSPS: First Semester Planning Session

First Semester Planning sessions (FSPS) are for new, first-time in college students planning to attend Chabot College as their primary campus and who are pursuing a degree/certificate or transfer. A FSPS will help you plan out your first semester of classes.

NOTE: High School Concurrent/Dual Enrollment students do not need to complete this step. If you have previously attended another college or are a continuing Chabot College student, we recommend you speak with a counselor (drop-in or appointment) instead.
