Fresno City College — First Responders Campus

At 3300 East North Avenue, the First Responders Campus provides training space for programs that need a different setting from a general academic campus. Fresno City College places its Police Academy and specialized officer courses here; the college also locates fire-technology and emergency-medical preparation in this area. The address is south of the main campus, so enter it exactly in a map and confirm the correct entrance and meeting point with the program before visiting.

This site serves students pursuing public-safety careers rather than replacing Fresno City College’s general catalog. The Police Academy lists basic and advanced options and continuing training tied to professional standards; requirements, physical or background checks, deadlines and cohort criteria vary by course. Fire Technology and EMT pages set out their own entry steps. Some offerings are intended for people already employed by an agency, so checking eligibility before applying can prevent a wasted trip.

Submitting the general Fresno City College application does not by itself secure admission to a selective academy. Ask the specific program and an adviser which courses carry college credit and which are professional training. The state per-unit fee and financial aid apply to eligible credit coursework, while continuing education can have a different fee structure. Drivers should check program directions and district parking rules before arriving; parking connected with a particular class or event should not be assumed to be open to the public.
