The open houses will be from noon to 2 p.m. Sept. 17, and 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 19, in the Rotunda of the Westminster Campus, 3645 W 112th Ave, Westminster, CO 80031.

At the open houses, former ITT students will have an opportunity to:

Talk with representatives from all Denver metro community colleges about which degrees and certificates align with what they were studying.

Learn about loan forgiveness and basics of the financial aid process at CCCS institutions.

“As a community college committed to enhancing lives through learning, the sudden closure of ITT Tech campuses focuses our attention on the desire of former ITT students to reach their potential through higher

education,” said Aaron Prestwich, dean of student affairs. “We help students every day who are intent on pursuing their educational goals. We stand ready at these special open houses to help former ITT Tech students explore their options.”
