New Directions
In an effort to capture as many high school seniors as possible before graduation, Fullerton College’s High School Outreach is piloting a new program called “New Directions.” New Directions is targeting the following students:
1) applied to a 4-year university and were denied
2) applied to a 4-year university and changed their mind about attending
3) and any other student that has decided to attend a community college
This Program will consist of the steps outlined on the attached flyer. The purpose of this Program is to have students complete all matriculation steps before the end of May so they can qualify for priority registration. Don't miss out on this great opportunity! New Directions Flyer.pdf
