Oxnard College Concurrent Enrollment For the past 2 weeks we have been holding orientations at Oxnard College. We have welcomed close to 30 students to our campus and at least 8 of those students have already taken the necessary steps to register for an Oxnard College Class. Students attending orientations this week and on January 26 th will start classes with us at the beginning of second semester. Students started Oxnard College this week. We have been busy walking them over to the bookstore to purchase textbooks; showing them the library, cafeteria, and where their classes are going to be. Many students were anxious before and after their first day of classes which required many individual counseling sessions. We are happy to report that they decided to keep their classes after reflecting on the value of FREE higher education!

The test will be given multiple dates during the semester.
