Welcome to Fullerton College
“Greetings Hornets, and welcome to the Fall 2022 semester. We are pleased for you to
join us as we begin a new season of classes, campus events, and activities that are sure to bring us together in smiles, laughter, and community. At Fullerton College, we strive to provide a learning environment that is welcoming, supportive, and one that advances
student success and equity. Over the past year, Fullerton College has redesigned instruction, support services, and our physical campus to meet the diverse needs of our diverse student body.
Our fall schedule provides many new courses and the opportunity to take classes online and in person. If you’re new to Fullerton College, I want to personally welcome you and encourage you to explore our high-quality academic programs, supportive services, and campus resources.”
The safety of our students, faculty, and staff has and always will be a top priority at Fullerton College. To help end the COVID-19 pandemic and help us return to in-person classes and services, the North Orange County Community College District Board of Trustees issued a vaccine mandate during the fall semester. All students must upload a COVID-19 vaccination record or have a verified medical or religious exemption to take in-person classes or use campus resources on campus.
We encourage you to explore our schedule of classes, make an appointment to meet with a counselor, and explore some of our support services such as EOPS, CalWorks, Honors Program, Transfer Center, Umoja, and many others to make your college experience the best it can be and you can find out more information about these services and programs below.
Good Luck in your studies, have a great year, and go Hornets!”
-Dr. Gilbert J. Contreras, Interim Fullerton College President
