Highlights
COVID-19 Vaccination Required for Fall: If you are planning to be on campus this fall – for a class, a meeting or for any purpose – you must be vaccinated against COVID-19. You must submit proof of your final vaccination – your second shot for the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or your first shot if it's Johnson & Johnson – no later than Oct. 1, or you will be dropped from any on-campus classes in which you're registered. See details on the Rules for Coming to Campus page. Remember to use OptimumHQ when visiting campus.
Student Services and Resources for Fall Quarter: Welcome (or welcome back) to fall quarter — and our online and on-campus classes. Visit the Guide to Fall Quarter page for tips and resources — including information on how to reach student services such as Admissions and Records. And remember: you can still add classes through Oct. 2.
De Anza Food Pantry: The De Anza Food Pantry is back! The pantry, located in RSS 127, will be open every Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. All De Anza students are welcome, just bring your student ID (your digital student ID is fine).

Sean graduated from De Anza in 2014 and from USC in 2016.

The logline for Sean's winning screenplay reads:
