Admissions & Financial Aid
Thanks for Choosing Foothill College!
Foothill College is on the quarter system with a shortened summer session. We offer in-person, online, and hybrid courses to meet your needs. For registration and other important dates and deadlines, see the academic calendar.
We have an open-admission policy. All students who are interested in earning a degree or certificate, transferring to a 4-year university, or looking to reskill for professional or personal development may apply for admission. To get started, let us know which type of student you are.
What Kind of Student Are You?
We know everyone is unique.
Maybe you are transfering from another college or taking classes while in high school, or a first time to college military veteran. Maybe you are returning after a few quarters away from Foothill, or a college graduate looking to take a class for personal enrichment. Let us know your situation, and we'll point you to your steps for getting started.

AB 540 is a California law that allows all students who qualify, including undocumented students, to pay in-state tuition fees at all public colleges and universities in California.

Has it been awhile since you've been in the classroom? Are you working and wanting to take classes at the same time? See steps to apply and resources to get you started at Foothill.

If you are a graduating high school senior, we are happy you are here! We hope you choose Foothill College as your next destination in your educational and life journey. Visit our future students page to get started.
