SPRING 2021 SEMESTER - 100% ONLINE

Due COVID-19 concerns and governmental recommendations, Fullerton College has made the decision to operate fully online for the Spring 2021 semester (continuing from Fall 2020). The US Homeland Security prohibits new students (not currently on an F visa and outside the country) from entering the USA to attend schools that will hold all classes online for the Spring semester. New students who apply, will be automatically deferred admission to Fall 2021 semester, and will have the option to take some classes online from their home country, if they choose.
