COVID-19 Edition

Resources Highlight Options Available to Students
We understand that many students are facing challenges during this time and for reasons beyond their control. Students enrolled for the Spring 2020 semester are encouraged to remain in their classes. The faculty, staff, and administration at Fullerton College are here to support you. Here are tips to follow if you need help. While we want to support successful class completion, we understand some students would prefer to pause their studies and come back in the summer or fall. Withdrawals will be marked as an "excused withdrawal" on transcripts and refunds are available. Please read further to understand all the implications.

Fullerton College's Student Support Services Division created an animated video to guide students through the resources and options available to them.
