Admissions and Records
Welcome to Fullerton College
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
