Students and Community,

If you watch the news and are following the COVID 19 statistics it indicates that this week is going to be a tough week for our state and nation. For all stakeholders in higher education it also continues to be time of uncertainty. The Florida Gateway College family is struggling but overall, we are doing ok. One of the greatest challenges is to balance the current situation, with tomorrow challenges and then the long- term challenges we will face both personally and as a college community. This includes financial, emotional, attitudinal, and disruptive attitudes and challenges.

As a way of bringing you some stability in your life, a ray of hope and helping you continue your education I am announcing a student tuition incentive program for current FGC students (those that are enrolled for the Spring 2020 semester) that take online courses for this summer only.

There will be some other significant changes in the way FGC is going to implement our Summer Schedule this year.

They are as follows:

Summer Courses and Schedule will be announced to the public this Wednesday, April 8, 2020.

Currently, we are only scheduling online classes for the summer. This includes all summer semesters. We are still optimistic that we will have some type of summer schedule for face to face instruction especially in the clock hour, technical and health professions. That schedule will most likely be designed to be offered at the earliest for late May or early June.

Registration for summer online course will begin on Monday, April 13, 2020 at 6:00 am.

For more information on this offer and the Summer 2020 term, call 386-752-1822 or visit https://www.fgc.edu/register/

Stay Safe and Healthy,

She is also willing to relocate but ideally would stay in Florida as that is where her family is. She is a hard worker, in fact...she is teaching AG part time at a local Middle and High School.

To the friends of the FGC GLO/Hort Program. I come from the landscape and nursery world of horticulture. I am developing a fond appreciation for the golf course industry. As embarrassing as this is, I don't know how to golf. I rather enjoy golfing, but I need lessons badly. Does anyone know where or whom I can take lessons from in the Lake City (Gainesville) area? I have some money available to take a few lessons. Please reach out with your suggestions [email protected] or 386-754-4218
