Part-Time Faculty Handbook - Ventura College

Media Services:
The classrooms at the Santa Paula site are equipped as “smart classrooms” with LCD projectors. Any
additional audiovisual equipment needs to be requested through the IT Department at ext. 4357.
Faculty with classes held at Fillmore local high school do not have access to the high school’s equipment.
A limited number of laptop computers and LCD projectors are available for checkout. Contact the staff
at the Santa Paula site for more information.
The college DVD collection is available through the Library on the main campus. You may search the
titles in the college’s media collection online through the Library catalog at: www.venturacollege.edu.
Click on the Library link on the college home page and search the library catalog. Faculty may check out
the DVDs at the main library or request that they be sent to the Santa Paula LRC for check out there.
Please return the items as soon as you are through with them.
Student Services:
Admissions Office staff are available to assist faculty with questions about their attendance rosters and
about registration procedures. Students attending classes at the Santa Paula site have access to a onestop
student services office, where they can register, add or drop classes, make payments, and submit a
special admissions application. Also available at the Santa Paula site are the services of an academic and
career counselor, financial aid workshops, and assessment testing for math, English, ESL, and the ability
to benefit (ATB). Contact the Santa Paula site staff for more information and dates.
Vending:
A limited supply of Scranton forms, blue books, and other student supplies are available for purchase in
the Santa Paula site student lounge. Limited vending services are also available.
Off-Campus Room Access
Rooms at the Santa Paula site will be opened by the staff. Room access for other off-campus classes
varies from site to site. Most of the high schools will have the custodial staff unlock and lock the
classroom doors. Therefore, it is very important to contact the high school custodial staff if you are
leaving your class early. An unlocked classroom is an invitation to vandalism or other crimes. If you get
to a site and the doors are not open, call the Santa Paula site for assistance.
Off-Campus Mail
If you are scheduled solely at the Santa Paula site or Fillmore High School, you will have your mailbox at
the Santa Paula site (unless otherwise requested). Others will need to discuss mail delivery with their
main campus Departments/Divisions.
All off-campus faculties may request mailboxes at the Santa Paula site. If you are having your mail
delivered to the Santa Paula site, please notify your Department/Division to put your mail in the Ventura
College Santa Paula mailbox. The Santa Paula site gets inter-office mail pick-up and delivery on Tuesday
and Thursday.
