Spring Quarter Classes Start Monday at Foothill College

Monday, April 8 is the first day of classes for the spring quarter at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills.

Although college officials have been preparing for opening day for several weeks, with the sudden arrival of thousands of students – many of them new – there is bound to be confusion for some students  over parking, class schedules, transportation and other issues.

A first stop for students looking for help should be the college website at www.foothill.edu where updated maps, information about added classes and registration details are posted. The website even offers visitors a virtual tour of the campus.

In addition, the college maintains a Foothill College Facebook page where students can post comments, and questions, and share photos and links. Updated information about textbook buybacks and rental deadlines is also posted there. The student body, through the Associated Students of Foothill College Facebook Page, also posts information.

The Foothill College Career Center's Facebook Page is very active, posting helpful information and deadlines for various applications. Want to know about that textbook buyback you missed the first time around? Foothill College Bookstore Facebook Page has it all.

Foothill College was founded in 1957 and the campus' design, when built in 1961, was recognized by the American Institute of Architects Award with an Honor Award in 1962 and an Award of Merit in 1963. The 122-acre campus, at 12345 El Monte Road, is on land that was part of the Taaffe Partition of Rancho Purissima. It is a two-year community college with an enrollment of more than 20,000 students. It’s part of the Foothill-De Anza Community District which also operates Foothill College in Los Altos Hills.
