To enroll at Foothill or De Anza Colleges, applicants must be at least 18 years old or possess a high school diploma or equivalent (e.g., GED). International students require an F-1 visa and must demonstrate English proficiency via tests like TOEFL or IELTS. California residents benefit from lower tuition fees by providing proof of residency.
Some programs may have additional prerequisites, such as placement tests or specific coursework. Concurrent enrollment is available for high school students with parental consent. Veterans and undocumented students (under AB 540) may qualify for in-state tuition with proper documentation.
