Ventura College East Campus — Santa Paula

Ventura College East Campus opened in Santa Paula to extend higher education across the Santa Clara River Valley. The current site at 957 Faulkner Road houses classrooms and student support for residents who would otherwise travel to the main Ventura campus. The college schedules classes and community programs here, with offerings changing by term.

The East Campus links students to degrees, workforce learning, English classes and local community services. Recent programs include the county’s first Speech-Language Pathology Assistant route, offered in a hybrid format, as well as veterinary technology instruction and classes tied to education, health and career goals. Confirm which courses are currently taught in Santa Paula before applying.

A bilingual team helps prospective and enrolled students with educational planning, applications, portal setup and registration. Academic counseling is available by appointment, and a financial-aid specialist supports students locally. Admissions forms and transcripts may still be handled through the main college offices, so ask staff where a specific task should be completed.

The district’s 2026–27 resident enrollment charge is $46 per unit for credit courses. Noncredit ESL is tuition-free, and eligible students can apply for federal and state aid or fee waivers for credit study. Ventura College’s current page lists free English classes and provides help with applications and level selection at both Ventura and Santa Paula locations.

The site is designed for practical access: college staff provide bilingual enrollment help, counseling, financial-aid support and local orientation. No parking permit is required at East Campus according to the college’s student-services page. Students can use Vista Highway 126 and Valley Express services; confirm routes and times with transit providers before travelling.

The East Campus building fronts Faulkner Road and is identifiable by the Ventura College sign. Call the local office to confirm the current schedule, class location or appointment. A program listed by Ventura College may rotate between East Campus, the main campus and online delivery.
