Moorpark College is hosting an open house to provide solutions for students who may be displaced as a result of the recent closure of ITT Technical Institute. The open house is Wednesday, September 14, 2016, 6-7:30 pm, on campus (7075 Campus Road, Moorpark, CA) in Fountain Hall. Moorpark College offers similar associate degree and certificate programs as ITT, including, but not limited to, Accounting, Business Administration, Computer Networking Systems Engineering, Computer Science and Criminal Justice.

“This is an opportunity for all students, including those who attended ITT, to evaluate the programs and services available at Moorpark College,” stated Moorpark College Executive Vice President Julius Sokenu. “Our team of academic counselors and financial aid advisors are ready to use their resources to empower these students to overcome this challenge.”

Late start classes begin Monday, September 12, 2016, and early October and November. Admissions, academic counselors, program faculty, and financial aid staff will be available to meet with students and help them prepare a plan for moving forward.

“We are working with the three colleges and communicating with the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education and the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office to determine all of the options that are available to students” stated Ventura County Community College District Chancellor Bernard Luskin. “With more than 40,000 students needing placement nationwide, we look forward to assisting students locally to successfully transition into programs that meet their educational goals,” added Board of Trustees Chair Larry Kennedy.
