Who are you guys?

The Bursar’s Office is one of the smallest departments at Fullerton College with one of the BIGGEST responsibilities; however, most students go from matriculation to graduation without knowing we exist.  That's because most of our work goes on behind the scenes. We are the campus accounting office, and we collect, process, and record the numerous daily financial transactions that occur around campus. We do the banking, pay the bills, and process deposits and requisitions for the college's numerous trust accounts. The Bursar's Office administers funded scholarships and approved third-party tuition payments. We are also the check disbursing location for Fullerton College hourly employees, for selected financial aid disbursements such as PELL grant textbook advances, and for staff "will call" checks. In addition, the Bursar's Office has adopted the duty of the college's unofficial concierge. But these are just a few of the things the Bursar's Office does.
