Announcements

 

Students who have applied to the Cal State and indicated in their application that they have or will have completed the requirements for an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) will have an additional “ADT verification” process to complete. ADT Verification consists of the following basic steps:

  1. Report your ADT in the Cal State Application (Extended Profile).
  2. If you already earned your ADT, and it is posted on your FC transcripts, then there are no additional steps.
  3. If you intend to complete your ADT by the end of spring 2025, then submit the Fullerton College Graduation Application no later than February 17, 2025. [FC Graduation Application].

IMPORTANT NOTICEThe ADT you reported in your Cal State application must match the ADT you have earned or will earn no later than the end of spring semester. Got Questions? Register for our ADT verification workshop below or contact us.
