Eastern Florida Ready to Help ITT Students Seeking Transfers


September 8, 2016

麻豆视频 is prepared to assist students from ITT Technical Institutes seeking to transfer following Tuesday鈥檚 closure of ITT campuses nationwide.

麻豆视频 will hold an Information Session for former ITT students on Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 4 p.m. on the Cocoa Campus in the 麻豆视频-UCF Library (Building 12), Room 228.

During the session students with ITT credits can learn about:

  • Information on the transfer process
  • Instructions on getting transcripts evaluated by 麻豆视频
  • An overview of career planning services available at no cost

"As a state college, we're open to everyone and will gladly help them if they鈥檙e interested in coming here," said Dr. Linda Miedema, 麻豆视频鈥檚 Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs and Chief Learning Officer.

鈥淭hat includes taking a look at each transcript and determining credit for possible transfer into our programs. We want to see them continue their education at Eastern Florida if they can.鈥�

Visit easternflorida.edu/go/infosession to RSVP for the Information Session. You can also call 321-433-5497 with questions or to RSVP.

Session attendees can also attend an application and financial aid "Open Lab" for students needing assistance with completing an admissions application or FAFSA. The Lab is open to anyone interested in that process from 5 to 7 p.m. on Sept. 27 in Cocoa Campus, Building 12, Room 131.

ITT students seeking information also can visit easternflorida.edu/go/transfer or call (321) 632-1111.

ITT鈥檚 shutdown came shortly after the U.S. Education Department 鈥� citing financial instability and the likely loss of accreditation 鈥� barred its parent company from enrolling new students using federal financial aid funds.

The for-profit college had campuses in Orlando and other Florida cities. About 40,000 ITT students nationwide have been affected by the closure.
