Frequently Asked Questions
Note: You'll find answers in downloadable PDFs.
I started taking classes at Foothill because of their flexibility in offering online asynchronous classes. It allows me to manage my coursework and gives me the freedom to pick up shifts at work if I need to. I was pretty worried at first because I was attending classes without having stepped foot on this campus before but the resources provided to me by my professors really helped bridge the gap.
