Laser printers, a file server with the Novell netware, an overhead projector and ceiling screen, and software to support the instructional programs have been purchased with Title III funds. Several English instructors are teaching the writing process using the Daedalus software program. In addition, training for the faculty and support staff using the new computers and software is being provided. The general student population also has access to the computer lab during open hours. Whatever the reason, you will find that Moorpark College can serve your life-long learning needs.
Many people can be very nervous about returning to a college campus.
They think that most students will be much younger and are unsure of meeting the academic challenges that a college curriculum requires. For example, over the past decade, fewer than one third of Moorpark College students have been under the age of 19 while nearly 40 percent of the students have been at least 26 years old, according to Ventura County Community College District records. To accommodate the needs of the changing and diverse student population, the Moorpark College Counseling Department offers a Re-entry Orientation for adults who have had an extended absence from college or who have never attended in the past. Dr. Donna Allyn, the Re-entry counselor, runs the special orientations which include Math, English, and reading assessments, an orientation to the college services and facilities, and assistance with academic planning. Moorpark College is very proud of its Disabled Student Program.
