Ventura
College feels a special responsibility for out-of-area student-athletes.
The first year at any junior college is especially tough, and unfortunately,
because of California laws, COA regulations, and time constraints
on an already over-worked staff, we are not able to offer you much
assistance. However, we will do all we can, legally, in helping
you with living arrangements and guiding you to employment opportunities.
The Educational Opportunity Program, Financial Aid, and Administration
offices are very supportive and helpful.
You
can be successful at Ventura College if you have the desire and
work ethic, but it takes a lot of planning and organization. It's
also imperative that you get help from home and have the full financial
aid package. When all is said and done, the responsibility
is yours.
Choosing
to attend Ventura College can be an excellent decision as you pursue
your dream. Many out-of-the-area athletes in the past few years,
who were on their own, graduated from Ventura College and their
goals have been fulfilled.
