Varsity Football remains undefeated this season after beating Fountain Valley 33-14 on Friday night. They will play Yorba Linda High School on Saturday, September 21 @ 7 pm in the Stadium. Join us for this Homecoming Game and Game of the Week!

It was awesome to see many Tillers come out to last week's Club Rush during Lunch in the Plaza! Students were able to visit with any of the 40+ clubs on campus, all of which are initiated and led by students. Clubs are a great way to meet other students with similar hobbies and interests, have fun, and get involved at school. Thank you to Tustin ASB for hosting this event!

While an October 1st launch would have been ideal, the Department of Ed announced a sort of phased roll out for this year’s FAFSA cycle, inviting select students and families to complete the application on October 1st to work through any issues in order to fully launch on December 1st.

Students and families are still encouraged to begin the process in October by creating an FSA ID.

You can read the US Department of Ed announcement here.

Changing majors within the College of Engineering can be challenging, so we encourage students to carefully consider their choices when applying. Over the past year, we have encountered students admitted to smaller majors who anticipated that they could switch into a more in-demand major. However, making this change is difficult due to several factors:

• Reserved seats for majors
• Rigorous criteria for changing majors
• Requirement to begin major-specific courses upon entry

If students are certain they want to pursue an engineering degree but are unsure of what major to choose, we strongly recommend applying as "Engineering Undeclared."
