The Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) has asked local community colleges to offer space for Heald students who are displaced due to the forthcoming closure of Heald College. The California Community College Chancellor, Dr. Brice Harris, asked the colleges to help the students as well. We are pleased to inform the community as well as Heald students that Solano Community College (SCC) wants to work hard to assist students who were affected by the closing of Heald College with completing their studies. SCC staff were present at the Heald College Transfer Day to provide students with information on programs, financial aid, and other services.
Robin Darcangelo, Associate Dean of Financial Affairs stated, “We will make every effort to support and provide assistance to students affected by these campus closures.” Shemila Johnson, Director of Enrollment Services for SCC added, “Education is a great opportunity for all who seek to attain, therefore, it is our privilege at Solano Community College to welcome all the students who desire to finish what they’ve started at Heald to Solano! We want every displaced student to recognize that when one door closes, another one opens. There is hope in knowing that SCC is here and ready to help them stay on path to complete their program of study. Summer and fall registration has begun and we look forward to serving our students.”
