Hello Dan...

September Important Announcements

Face Mask Update

Per Saddleback College and the District, masks are NO longer required to be worn during in-person courses. However, masks are still recommended to be worn indoors. There are many good reasons for some to still be wearing masks, such as those who are immunocompromised or those wanting to protect others after recent exposure or contact.

Fall Registration continues! Many classes still open. Scroll down for more information.

Emeritus Fall Semester began AUGUST 22 and ends DECEMBER 20.

IMPORTANT! Registration for IN-PERSON CLASSES requires your Proof of COVID Vaccination be submitted and cleared BEFORE you can enroll in a class or add yourself to a Waitlist. Note that this process isn't instaneous, but rather takes a few days. (No need to re-submit your proof if you're already cleared.)
