#1 - Get Set Up With Tech
As with any college, the majority of our communications and engagement will take place online. There are a couple very important steps you need to follow to help set yourself up for success at FRC that involve getting set up with campus tech. Please begin the steps below to get all set up with a campus email account, network access, and the MyFRC app & Student Portal.
Head over to either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and download the FRC app by simply searching "Feather RIver College".
Students need to request a MyFRC account in order to get an FRC student email address and to log on to computers on campus. Your MyFRC Account login information will also be your Canvas login information.
