College Course Helps Orient New Students

Returning to school after a lapse in education or beginning college for the first time need not be a daunting prospect at Moorpark College.

To help orient or reorient students to academic life, Moorpark College is offering an eight-week, one-unit course in time management and study skills dubbed “Student Development in Higher Education.”

The class--designed for people who aren’t sure what to expect in college--also touches on campus resources, policies, support services and academic requirements.

The first class will take place between 1 and 3 p.m. on Jan. 14. There is a $13 registration fee and a $10 health fee. Parking costs $1 a day. Space is limited. For information, call (805) 378-1429.
