Winter Schedule Won't Be Mailed; Use Online Schedule
To provide you with convenient access to more accurate, up-to-date information, and to maximize financial resources, Foothill College updates its Winter Quarter 2011 online schedule nightly, and we've published a pdf version of the winter schedule should you want to print some or all of its pages (course listings in the pdf version are accurate as of Oct. 22). The college no longer prints a class schedule, so it's smart to always access the online schedule for the most accurate, current course listings.
