The Impact of UHS Course Registration – It Is Your Path to an FSC Transcript and GPA Once you register for a UHS course, you start an official FSC transcript, and when the course is complete, you will have created a GPA. You are considered a non-matriculated student. Non-matriculated means that you have not yet been accepted into a degree program but are taking one or more courses with FSC. Most colleges, including FSC, require students to take certain basic classes. These are called General Education or “Gen Ed” courses. Many UHS classes count as Gen Eds. If a course is a Gen Ed, it will say so on the syllabus, in the FSC College Catalog, and on the UHS website. To learn how other colleges accept our course credits, we suggest contacting those institutions directly. Enrolling in UHS – The Registration Process and Costs ● There are three UHS semesters: Fall, Year, and Spring. Make sure you register for the correct semester ● Course credit fees are $70/credit.
