Dear Students,
Happy New Year! Over the holiday season COVID cases have spiked across the state as well as in Orange County due to the Omicron and Delta variants. Therefore, out of an abundance of caution, the North Orange County Community College District has issued a directive for employees to work remotely until further notice. Thus, while the Transfer Center is available to serve our students remotely; we are currently unable to provide in-person services. We will continue to monitor guidance from health officials and from our District and update our services as appropriate.
