Online learning can save you money…
- FSCJ Online makes it possible for students in Florida to combine the convenience of online education with an affordable in-state tuition rate, while also providing students across the United States with FSCJ’s quality and value.
- Students can also avoid the cost of transportation and child care while still pursuing their educational goals. In 2017, FSCJ Online introduced online classes using Open Educational Resources (OER) digitally embedded in the course so students are not required to purchase textbooks or course materials.
- Over 22,000 FSCJ students have benefitted from reduced costs due to the use of OER classes.At an average cost of $100 per student for textbooks and course materials, it can be estimated that students have saved $2.2 million in textbook costs from Spring, 2017 through Fall, 2019.
What you need to know about online learning…

- Your Canvas class will include engaging and rich course content, a bulletin board system and chat for collaboration and communication, assignment drop boxes, interactive quizzes and exams, and much more!
- Students can access Canvas by logging in to myFSCJ with their single sign on College username and password.
