FJCU is a Catholic comprehensive university that aims to realize 7 major goals, one of which is “serving the public”. Our vision is to improve interpersonal relationships, build connections with the local community, fulfill social responsibilities, and provide a profusion of learning resources for non-affiliated users:

(1) Computers: In the Information and Research Application Center of the College of Education , users not affiliated with FJCU can have free access to computers, software, and information databases.

(2) Libraries: Alumni, retired staff or faculty, and other personnel serving at FJCU can apply for an FJCU Library Card to access all library resources. Users not affiliated with FJCU or students in pre-sessional credit programs may access library resources after applying for a visitor’s pass with their personal ID.

(3) Regular courses: Excluding courses with prerequisites such as thesis writing, practicum courses and internships, or those require professional skills, people not affiliated with FJCU may attend any class via pre-sessional credit programs. Students who complete their studies will receive a credit certificate. Some teachers also allow personnel not affiliated with FJCU to audit their courses for free and to apply for access to TronClass, FJCU’s learning platform.
