Counseling

The Counseling Department will have counseling appointments available via phone and Zoom. Students will also have access to eAdvising and other platforms for general inquiries. Please visit the Counseling website to learn more.

Transfer Center

The Transfer Center invites students to submit any transfer-related questions to this website. Staff will do their best to respond within 24-48 hours or sooner – during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. Additionally, the Transfer Center is preparing to provide students with eCounseling (phone & video conferencing) as well as eAdvising for general transfer and application assistance. The center is also working toward providing workshops in an online format for students to access.

Promise Program Outreach

Normally, this time of year would include many in-person services offered at local high schools to support incoming students as they apply to the college and the Promise Program, which provides two years of free tuition to first-time college students. While high schools and Fullerton College remain closed, incoming Promise Program students are invited to view several videos to help them get started on their Fullerton College journey. Numerous virtual office hours are also available. Visit the Outreach website for more information.

 

Previously Mentioned Services

 

Resources Finder

The Office of Student Support Services is actively building out a resource finder for students. Please visit the Resource Finder website to learn more.

Library

Just like always, Fullerton College librarians are here to help with research! We may just have to do it a little bit differently than before. In consideration of the safety of our campus community during the COVID-19 pandemic, we are now extending our research support services to remote, internet-based solutions. Visit the Library website to learn more about remote support.

Distance Education

There are many resources to help students learn the college’s online learning management system called Canvas and to transition to remote learning.  The mission of the Distance Education Department is to support the success of Fullerton College students who use educational technology and that is more important than ever before. All students are encouraged and welcome to take a Canvas course “Becoming an Effective Remote Learner.” This is not the students’ instructional courses. This is to help students get ready for the transition of their classes to web-based formats.

Food Bank

The Fullerton College Food Bank is currently closed along with the rest of the college. However, students may receive the same services at the HUB of Hope by Pathways of Hope at Richman Park. In addition to food services, Pathways of Hope offers life skills classes, hygiene kits, diapers, transportation assistance, clothing vouchers, California photo ID referral services, and community resources and referrals. The HUB is open Monday to Friday, 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. Call 714.680.3691 ext: 220 for more information.
