Time to register for Foothill classes
The deadline is approaching to register for classes at Foothill College. The registration process must be complete before the first day of winter quarter on Jan. 9. School officials expect popular general education courses and career training classes to fill up quickly, so early registration is a must.
Foothill College has extended the online and phone registration through Jan. 7, and students may add a class during the first week of the quarter, though by that time many will already be full. Online registration may be completed at www.foothill.edu. For phone registration, call (650) 917-0509 or (408) 777-9394.
