Welcome Prospective Students!

Outreach Services serves the College’s prospective student population. Are you looking to attend Palomar in the next few years? We are the resource for you!

Serving as official representatives of Palomar College providing presentations, tours, communication, social media and information tables (and shortly a Welcome Center too!), we help future students determine if Palomar is right for their academic goals. We help those considering attending Palomar in the next few years, by helping them understand the degrees, services and opportunities that our College and educational centers have to offer. The department works with prospective students at varied educational levels, from career changers to high school students, to re-entry and adult students, to military and veterans, to those who solely want to brush up on a skill or two.

Serving as one of many departments throughout the College who engage with the community we are proud to be the first stop for prospective students to explore Palomar College and the California Community College system. We attend or provide over 400 college or career activities each year for those looking to decide: "Is Palomar right for me?"

From there, let us help you with completing the application, navigating the steps to enroll and connecting you to a positive start at Palomar!
